Evaluating Pre-Production

Original Ideas
In our first lesson of video production Chris told us that we were doing a chase scene Gary wasn't here, so I jotted down some decent ideas I didn't want to do anything with crime as i looked around and saw and heard other groups talking about stealing a bag and running away which for me is a bit too simple. And what me and Gary aimed to do was something different and adventurous.

Treatment
As we wanted something a little bit different we decided to go for a comedy chase as it was easy and different to what we thought other groups would do. We originally wanted it to be stupid but cool and experiment with the camera. As it was a funny scene, I thought that we should dress up in ridiculous clothes but when we were filming we didn't actually wear anything silly as it would be time consuming.

Storyboard
Both me and Gary came up with the storyboard, we discussed how we would do different camera shots and thought that the storyboard went well with the plot.

Documents

• Gary and I did the treatment
• Gary and I did the storyboard
• Gary did the script as i was away (authorised)
• Video Producton on minutes and action agreed was a group effort
• We each did a risk assessment form on each loction
• Then after filming we did the logging sheet which was done by the group.

My thoughts on Pre-Production

I thought that we all did well with Pre- Production but i have to say Gary put the most effort into the work especially with the script, but I know I came up with the original idea of a funny scene which sparked many more ideas as a group. I knew we all did well as a group and believed the plot and the chase would be far greater then anybody elses. I noticed that guys in a group did a story involving crime. A mixed gender group doing something easy and solid. But our group which was also an all guy group did something that an audience of a mixed gender would want and that was our idea and we all worked as a group to target that.
