"Who am I talking to" pre production

One of the scripts that was picked was Ellies script called "Who am I talking to" and I was aprat of the group carrying out production. Before starting to film anything there are certain pre production documents that need to be filled out. This ensures that whilst filming and preparing to film, all members of cast and crew know what is happening when, where and how.

Pre production starts with the script/screenplay. In our case this was Ellies script. Ellies story was about a boy with spilt personality disorder who comes face to face with his other personalitys and how he deals with it at school.

After the script we created a shotlist and a storyboard to show how we can take the script and turn it into a story.

We then created a location reece of where we wanted to film, a risk assessment of the area and any issues that came up, a callsheet so that everyone knew when we were filming and what was going on.

Design and costuming

Costumes go into mise en scen which is extreamly important in films and tv. However in our short film we wanted the characters to be as "regular and normal". This was to make our characters more real.
