CAST AND CREW (WHO AND WHY)
Charlotte Thornton will be playing the main character, who gets ready to go out and suddenly gets captured.
Anthony Waters will be playing the police reporter, asking questions about where the parents’ daughter was last seen etc.
Elaine Waters will be playing the mum of the captured girl.
Glenn Waters will be playing the dad of the captured girl.
PLANNED BUDGET
I am planning to keep my planned budget free, as much as I can. I will be using props such as a balaclava which the catcher will wear but also is
the key significant prop at the end where the audience are convinced of the dad being the hidden identity and capturing his own daughter.
Costumes will be normally stereotypical of the characters age. Charlotte will be wearing ripped jeans and a jumper and then when she goes
out, maybe a dress or smart trousers and a jacket. Both the parents can wear trousers and a jacket or skirt depending on mum or dad.
I will have to hire or buy a costume for the police reporter and the catcher in the film. For the police reporter I will only shoot from over the
shoulder or from the waist up so I need to hire a police jacket and cap, and for the catcher I will hire a black all in one so this character is
completely hidden.
I will also have to provide a clipboard and pen for when the reporter is questioning the parents.
LAUNCH DATE
The launch date for my short filmwill be on MARCH 22, 2019. This is because it gives me enough time to filmall the footage of the film and
gives me time afterwards to promote my film on any social media such as YouTube and Short of the Week to gather various viewers and
audiences. I also chose this date because it is a Friday so people would be waiting till the last day of their work week to watch and relax from
their everyday life.

4. CLASHES
This date does not clash with any seasonal or local events because it has been Christmas and Easter is in April so March would be a convenient
time to upload.
PERMISSION SLIPS
I will not need any permission slips as all my characters are over the age of 18, however if I choose to filmthe friends and maybe people acting
as the public I will sort out permission slips if they are under the age of 18.
CONTINGENCY PLANS
Some aspects could go wrong in the production of shooting and editing for my film. Firstly I will have to plan when I film my filmbecause of
weather conditions and times of the day as the time of the day may get too dark or light. When I shoot the capture scene I will have to ensure
the time of day is dark but not too dark that I cannot see the characters. For this scene rain also may be an issue because I don’t want anyone
falling and hurting themselves if the road or pavement gets too slippery. The pavement I was going to filmon is covered in leaves which could
be a problem if rains makes it too wet and slippery to risk. I will also have to not pick a busy time of the day when filming near roads and cars
because being near cars could be dangerous if near dark and also the noise could distract the actors and could drown out their audio.
Problems when editing could include that audio on the recorded footage may be too loud or too quiet so they may need to be rerecorded
again to make the scenes better for the film.
LEGAL REPORT
WHAT WHO OWNS IT LEGAL IMPACT ANY IMPACT ON USE
YOUR FILMED FOOTAGE I own my own filmed footage I will copyright my footage so
others are able to ask permission
to use it in the future
I have asked permission from all
my actors for them to be filmed
and used in my footage. I do not
have any actors under the age of
18 so I do not need to ask
permission. All actors know that
this film could be shared onto
YouTube and Short of the Week

5. STUDIO TITLE LOGO SEQUENCE I own my own studio title logo as
I made it myself
I will not need any permission as
it is my own
SOUND EFFECTS I will record my own sound
effects like heaving breathing as
this is easy to record and edit
I will not need any permission as
it is my own
SOUND EFFETS/MUSICAL SCORE I will include musical scores and
some sound effects, like loud
footsteps, from Bensound.com
to enhance the thriller genre
It will be copyright free however
if it is not then I will have to ask
for permission as it is not my
own
ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
WHAT WHAT IS THE IMPACT ON YOUR FILM LEGAL IMPACT
WHAT CERTIFICATE WOULD YOU RATE? I would rate my film a 12A because there are
some jump scares which young people might
find fearful so having a responsible adult
accompanying will make them feel safe
Charge of age certificates
CONTENT CONSIDERATIONS My film includes content of getting captured
which could cause fear and bad imagination
and thoughts to young viewers. I have
however shot this film to interest viewers by
adding others shots where lighting is lighter
to distract them from the darks scenes.
