Assignment 2:Task 3 Research For Production

Requirements for a production

Before we head on to the practical production, we need to find about where we are going to shoot the production by finding out what place would be suitable for this type of advert. This is an example of what needs be planned out so we can head on to complete our production. 

Technical Equipment
The equipment that we would need is the iPhone, this is going to be borrowed by our director of the group. To hire a camcorder it would cost £75 a day and a tripod would be needed as well to support the camera. We may need to film for 4 days and the shoots are going to take 1-2 hours. 

Potential Filming Locations
The filming location are potentially at McDonalds, to shoot the advertisement we may need to ask the manger for permission to shoot around the fast-food restaurant. To get to McDonalds depending where we are we can take a bus, but it isn't very long of a distance so we can just walk. School, we would need permission from the head teacher and heath park we wouldn't need to ask anyone since its a public place where anyone can play around. If we all had meet at heath park we can take a bus there. 

Actors and Actresses
Actors and Actresses that would be needed are male and female actors at the age of 16-17, the way we are going to find our actors and actresses we have a screen test to see if they are suitable and great for the part. Depending how big the advertisement is the actors and actresses will get 30% of the pay-cut. The actors are going to be doing a great job as they will be treated with respect by the production team. 

Costumes and Props
For an advertisement like this it doesn't need any fancy dress, this advertisement will include casual wear, and some school wear as well. During productions we will have a suitcase which the clothes will be folded inside in, this way we can go to the places we need with it between the shoots. For the costumes we are going to spend about £60.
