2. Aims of the brief
Zed studios (production company) has appointed me to plan and
produce a horror film entitled “the devil's playground” ,which
they want me to release on halloween night for them.In this film I
am told to target the audience aged between 14 and 16 because
the the message of the movie is supposed to be SAFETY OF
TEENAGERS AROUND STRANGERS.I am told that this film has to
be between 5 to 7 minutes long and it shouldn't exceed this time
limit. We are supposed make a horror/suspense film so need to
use a variety of shots and have to keep the conventions in mind.

3. Aims of the brief
I in my planning had to watch and analyse factional,factual and
documentary based clips so i could learn and understand all the
different genres to use for the aims of the brief.
I even had to plan my budget,storyboard,production schedule so
I could to produce a good piece of production and stay on the
brief and its aims.

4. Strengths
In the brief we were told to make a short film of 5-7 minutes aimed
at teenagers for awareness in teenagers regarding strangers.Our
production is as much as we thought of it and wanted it to be but
because we didn't had much time for our our production stage as
we shot our whole piece of production outdoor there are some
bits from the script that I had to after discussing with my group
members take out of the production.But everything that we altered
or added was done according to the conventions of horror kept in
mind.One of our requirements was to have another person as an
actor according to our script, which was fulfilled when Mr stefan
scurtu came to act free of any charges just to help us out.We
needed a camera of course to shoot our media piece and we
didn't want to take the camera from school because then it would
have been our responsibility regarding

5. strengths
Anything that happens to the camera during our outdoor shoot.
So we decided to use a mobile phone camera and amongst us
all ,Mr stefan scurtu had the best phone camera so we shot all of
our scenes with his camera,then we transferred all of the shots
into a USB from the phone and it worked out really well.In terms
of location we needed a quiet street, a quiet neighbourhood and
a empty house se we could show the mysterious atmosphere
around and in the killers house.We went to maties house and its
surroundings to shoot these scenes,because his neighbourhood
is quite which is what we needed.

6. strengths
The changes that we did in our script were done by keeping in
mind all the shots ,that we still will keep and conclude the
shots that we decided before.We have concluded shots like
close ups,wide angle shots,point of view shots,over the
shoulder shots,mid shots and three shots.In relevance to
camera movement we decided to use tilt,panning and and
zoom in and we did use these three movements in reality as
well.
