Task 3: Research for production

Task 3-

We need to find out about all of these things before beginning our production because if there are any problems or faults with equipment then we need to be able to try and solve them. We also need to do this because we need to be able to have a back up plan for if anything goes wrong with our original plan and need to change anything.

Technical Equipment

The equipment that we need to use within our production is a camera, tripod, a dolly, and the lucozade sport drink. We will not need to hire out any of the equipment as our school media department is able to provide this all for us, we will only have to provide the drink. Buying the drinks will cost on average around three pounds. We will film for around about 4 days as there may be times where we may have to go back and re-film sections if they are to mess up in any way. The filming will take place during our lesson time as this is the only time that we have to use the area we will be filming in. There will also be a range of different shots involved in our advert such as close ups, long shots and high shots, these will make our video more appealing for viewers to watch. The shoots will take on average of two hours per day to produce again this may take longer if anything is to change of go wrong throughout the due course of the filming.

Potential Filming Locations

We will be filming our advertisement in the large dance studio that is available in our school leisure centre. We will be getting permission from our school dance teacher to use this area to film in and we will be filming in school time as well as at our lunch break. It is a short walk to the dance studio and will not take long to get there. The only issues that we could face would be that the dance studio may not always be free in school time as there may be some lessons in progress when we would like to film.


Actors and Actresses

In our advert their will be the two other people in my group as the actresses and there will be no other student in the advert. We may be using some of the P.E. teachers as a way for their to be a range of different ages and genders within the video. They are also younger so this will still make the advert appealing to young people. The two girls that are in the video throughout are both teenagers and will make the video appeal to men as well as motivate women. We will be holding auditions throughout the P.E. staff to choose who would best suit for our advert. In the advert we will not have to pay the actors as they are not professional and we will not be using the general public. 

Costumes and Props

The costumes we are using are dance costumes and gym wear, these will make our advert more focused on exercise as demonstrating the drink will be used for energy when exercising. We will be asking the teacher that we use to wear their own costumes and we will borrow props from the P.E. department to make our advertisement seem more sporty. We will not have to spend any more as the props and costumes will be provided for free. 

I have considered all of the requirements that are involved in our production and i have come to the conclusion that we will be able to produce this advert, as we have all of the equipment and the props that we need to complete the production of this advertisement.
