MOOD BOARD

This is a moodboard that I have created which pretty much sums up the drama/crime genre. There are a lot of crimes, blood and arguments in this mood board which usually appeals to targeted audience and teenagers but it also shows the consequences of bullying which lead to death which is really what this film is about at the core. If it is going to portray bullying and betrayal in such a graphic way, it needs to be in the right way, and there should be a message behind it, I have incorporated this feature in my short film.

PROPS

Apart from the filming and editing equipment, there are very few other things needed. I will need  mobile phones which is used often in the film, knife and fake blood, which will be used from the house that we will be filming in and a tablet that one of the characters is using in the beginning of the film to make it seem like a normal usual day at home. Also, I will need boy clothes for the character that will be playing two male characters, which again will be borrowed from someone. These are a few of the basic needs, if anything else is need then I will post the changes.

EQUIPMENT

The equipment I will be using to film is the Song Handycam, this camera will allow me to shoot in high definition and get a good quality images. The tripod that will be used will be the Velbon DV-6000, it is quick and easy to set up, move and dismantle. This camera will be easy to handle when using different camera techniques and camera movements because it is small and light this allowed me to move it how ever needed and also it allowed me to carry it home so I could find a suitable, appropriate location to film, instead of having to record in college, which is what I might have had to do if the camera was heavy. I am using this camera because I used it for my coursework last year and I have familiarized myself with it and learnt how to download the images to the computer. This camera was easy to use, even though I was not the camera man last year I still learnt how to use the camera from the preliminary task and recording audience research results. It was easy to get use to again, because there are not too many buttons and knobs like other cameras, it was straight forward and it was easy to stop and start recording and delete any unwanted clips.
