- 3. WorkPlan explained I havechosen the specific launch date being, 11th March 2018, as I feel as though, this will give me enough time to be able to make my film, to the highest standard that I can. I also feel that March will be a good time to launch my film as it is a time where it is towards the end of winter, so people aren’t going out and about too much at this time of year. For example, the weather is likely to not be as good. Therefore, people will have more time on their hands and will want to find things to keep them entertained. Therefore, I feel as though this will be a very popular time for short films. As my film is cantered around the mental illness SAD, I feel as though this will also be a good time for my film to launch, as people with this mental illness will be coming towards summer, so will hopefully give them a sense of hope that it does get better for people. This will not clash with any local events. Therefore, I will not have to worry about this interfering with my launch.
- 4. Equipmentthat Iwillneed Type What Iwill use Why I have chosen it How I will use it Equipment Camera Cannon 700D I will need a camera to film on. I am going to use a camera from school and possibly my own from home. I will film with it and make sure that it is on the right settings. I am filming in many different weather conditions, so the camera settings will change, dependant on that. Equipment Tripod Velbon A tripod is better than free hand to hold the camera still. I will set the tripod at the correct height. Equipment SD card: SanDisk 16GB and card reader :Sony I will be able to collect all the footage on one SD card and then upload it to the computer using my card reader. I will use my SD card to store all of my footage and I will then use my card reader, to upload my footage. Equipment Computer A useful tool to edit and store footage. I will edit my film with this. Equipment Headphones I will be able to hear clearly whilst I am editing audio. I will use these when editing.

- 5. PermissionSlip This is mypermission slip that I will print and give to my Actor and back up Actors to sign as they will all be under 18 and therefore, I will have to get permission from their parents to use them in my film, as they are still technically classed as children.
- 6. LegalReport Guide What Who ownsthis Legal Impact Any impact of use My filmed footage I own this footage. I should copyright my footage. Therefore the footage is legally mine and nobody will be able to steal it and will then have to ask for my permission should they want to use it. I have asked my Actors for their permission to be filmed for my film. As all my Actors are under 18, I have made a permission slip for all my actors and their parents to sign. Studio title logo sequence I own this as I will design and make this myself. I should copyright this so that anybody that wants to use this footage has to ask for my permission to do so and they will not be able to steal my idea. I must make sure that my studio title logo is not going to resemble anybody else's and is completely original. Sound effects/ Musical score Ben sound own the music that I am going to use within my film. The music that I want to use from Ben sound is copyright free so I will not have to ask for permission to use the music in my film. I must make sure that all of the music that I am using is completely copyright free before putting it in my film or I could be accused of copying or stealing the music.
- 7. Ethical Considerations What? What isthe impact on your film? Legal impact What certificate would you rate your short film? Source: http://www.bbfc.co.uk/what- classification/12a-and-12 I would class my short film as being a “12”.Therefore, I can only include moderate violence, moderate language, No promotion of potentially dangerous behaviour, Nudity must be brief and discreet, moderate sex references are permitted and misuse od drugs should be infrequent and not glamourized. The BBFC are in charge of age certificates and will put an appropriate certificate on a film that they think is appropriate for a specific age range to view. We must adhere to this because otherwise legal action could be taken as viewers that are younger than the certificate are viewing a film. This is against the law. If any content is not age appropriate I will re film a scene and replace the scene with a more age appropriate one. For example, if there was any dangerous behaviour, I would re- shoot to show less dangerous behaviour. Content Considerations Source:http://www.bbfc.co.uk/ what-classification/12a-and- 12 I would class my short film as being a “12”. This is because it is based around such a sensitive topic that children under 12 are likely to not understand. As well as this, the main character is going to have a breakdown and get extremely angry with herself, possibly showing slight signs of violence. This must be moderate and should not dwell on detail, according to The BBFC. I am going to a shoot this in a tasteful way by using no bad language and using very moderate violence. I must make sure that I keep the content in my film as being suitable for persons above the age of 12 and above to view. If any issues were to arrive, I would make sure that I film a scene again and replace the scene with the issues with a the ethical scene. For example, when India has a breakdown if it dwells on detail too much, I will make sure that when I re-shoot it will not dwell too much on detail. My trailer is going to be shown online Source:https://www.shortofthe week.com/submit/ Short of the week do not have any hard fast rules. They believe that every film is different and there are always exceptions. In general however, they do not like music videos, abstract films, films driven solely by special effects, commercials or purely promotional pieces, time- lapse and photography films and comedy sketches based on a singular punchline. They also require films to have all the necessary rights and releases secured for them to feature them. They only select films free to view for audiences. I will make sure that my film adheres to all of the guidelines stated on the short of the week website. I will also make sure that my film has all of the necessary rights and that it is free for the audience to view. If any of my scenes break the rules from short of the week are broken within my film, I will re shoot a scene and replace the scene that the rules were broken in.
- 8. Contingency plan If inthe unfortunate event that something goes wrong I am going to have contingency plans to fall back on, so that these issues can be resolved and I am still able to complete my film. If the weather is not the right weather- I am lucky enough to be able to shoot in all types of weather conditions as my film is based around changes in weather affecting somebody's mental health. Therefore, if I plan on shooting when it is raining but turns out to be sunny then I will shoot a different part of my film. If my main character is unable to take part in my film- If my main character is unable to be in my film, I am going to have backup actors just in case, so that they can step in, should something like this happen. If my equipment breaks- If my equipment breaks I am going to make sure that I have backup equipment should this occur and I will replace the equipment that has broken with that. If my Actor does not have permission from their parents to star in my film, then I will make sure that I have back up Actors to be a part of my film that have permission granted to them.
- 9. CastandCrew Cast Iwill need a teenage female to be the main character in my film, preferably in her late teens. I think that I am going to use Amy Hill as my main character as I feel as though, she will suite the role well. She is in her late teens and is able to act well. I may also use some of my friends as extras, as many of them are also in their late teens. I am going to have to make sure that I have a lot of dark and colourful makeup for my main character to wear. I am probably going to have to buy some brightly coloured makeup and I own mostly dark and light coloured makeup, that is not particularly colourful. For the summer months, I would like my character to wear very colourful bright makeup in the summer and spring months. Outfit wise, I have many different coloured clothes, some dark and some very bright so I can lend my Actor some of my clothes. If they are a different size to me then my Actor will hopefully have both bright coloured and dark coloured clothes. If not, I will have to consider buying my Actor some clothes that fit the role. Crew I may need some crew members to help me hold equipment whilst I am filming. This way time will be used more efficiently when filming in different locations, where there is not a great deal of spaces to put my equipment down. I feel as though this will be really beneficial for me to have. I am most likely going to use my sister (Sophie Prior) for my crew to help me to hold equipment and whilst I am filming. Amy Hill: Main Character (India)
- 10. Budget For myfilm I am going to have a very low budget as I don’t feel as though I am going to need to buy a great deal. Props I may have to take some photos of my Actor in sunny weather and get them printed out to put in frames around a bedroom, that I am going to film in. Costume and makeup I may have to buy some brightly coloured makeup for my Actor to wear, so that the makeup fits with my character. For example, I could buy a Makeup Revolution palette from Superdrug, that is very brightly coloured and would be perfect for bright makeup. This would cost me £10.00. I may also have to buy some dark and brightly coloured clothes for my Actor to wear. I will probably go to Primark and buy a variety of clothes for my Actor to wear the T shirts average at about £5.00-£8.00. If I was to buy three brightly coloured T-shirts and Three dark T shirts will be around £48.00 Hiring I am not going to need to hire anywhere for my film as I will use either my bedroom or my Actors. Otherwise all of my filming will be outside. I.e. The beach or the forest. I may have to pay for car parking at these places but that will be all here. If I have to pay for car parking, it will likely be at the beach. This usually costs around £4.00 My Budget will likely be around £60.00 for my film.
- 11. ResolvingLegal andEthical Issues If thereare any legal or ethical issues that occur throughout my film that do not adhere to the certificate that I feel as though my film will classify as, then I will make sure that I re-shoot certain scenes and there are no longer and Legal or Ethical issues. If there are any problems with copyright and something that I have done is too close to that of somebody else’s work that is copyrighted, I will make sure that I change this, so that there are no legal issues and I do not get in trouble legally.
- 12. RevisedKey SceneMaterials Following mypitch, I was advised that I should make sure that the breakdown that my main character has is not too graphic and something that a 12 year old would be able to watch. I must make sure that it does not dwell on her breakdown too much. I was originally going to have my main character throwing very heavy items around and breaking things. However, I am now going to make out she is extremely frustrated and tired of her illness by having her crying and screaming and throwing a soft pillow to the floor. I will have no sound in this apart from music which I was I was originally going to do. This was I am not dwelling on it too much.
