Unit 22 LO2 Pre Production Planning


Single camera my idea

My story is about an Asian sixth former who is really good at sports (football) but his parents do not approve. They want him to become a doctor. The main character is so good at football that his coach thinks that he has a real chance to become a professional. He is caught in two minds, whether to play football and disappoint his parents or pursue his dream of playing professional football. The story starts with him lying to his parents about where he is going; he tells them that he is revising when really he is training. This goes on for weeks. The lying gets too much for him and he gets to the brink of destruction. He finally has a breakdown and ends up in hospital, where he falls in love with a nurse.  She persuades him to become a doctor and they live happily ever after. 



Treatment

Our targeted audience for this film is teenagers because they can relate to this situation. The audience can relate to this storyline, as the topics are common in there day-to-day lives. The teenage boys can relate to the football situation and rivalry in this single drama.

At the beginning of the film both boys are just talking and walking around. Both boys are very good friends leading up to the trial as they both get on well. They argue with each other just before the football trial occurs.

In the middle of the single drama friction occurs between both boys when they argue at a training session just before the trial as Anthony feels angry at one of gifts comments.  A climax occurs when gift is revealed to the audience as a nice guy and all he wanted to do was to win the contract and be close with his friends.

At the end of film Anthony feels really confident about the trial and feels that he is going to win it where else gift feels nervous and scared that he is not going to win the trial. The scout comes in to the changing room and gives the instructions in what is expected in the trial. He tells the boys what drill there are. Just before both buys go on to the actor turf Anthony says to gift that he is going to win. The scout decides to give the contract to gift, disheartening Anthony.  At the end Gift moves to Birmingham and both boys become friends and wish each other good wishes.

The first conflict is the training session and the second conflict is the football trial between the girl and 2 boys.  The Football trial is a conflict because the 2 boys are fighting for a football contract. The training session is a conflict as both boys have an argument there. The main theme of the story is the football trial. The topics used in the story are the hook because these topics relate to our audience therefore they would be interested in continuing to watch our single drama.

The moral of the story is that even your best friend can be turn in to your enemy.  The locations are the astro turf, which is going to be used in the single drama to film the football scenes. Another location will be that some of the production will be filmed in areas around school.

Lighting

We do not have any lighting systems or lights available at school that we can use for our drama. This was a consideration when we scouted for our locations.

This was not a problem because we needed a natural lighting look. All our locations had good lighting and our exterior shots used natural day light. We wanted a high key lighting look to help create our drama's realism.

The lighting in the changing room scene was not very bright.
