Point 35: Props and Costumes

For the film I am creating I will not need that many props and costumes.

The main ones I will need for certain shots can all be found in my bedroom expect for the posters and guitar.
For the posters I am going to print them off and the guitar I am going to borrow from a housemate.

Secondly I think it is really important that the clothing my actors wear represent the independent music scene. Luckily mo
st of my actors dress quite alternatively already and the rest of the costumes I have brought with me to school and are in my wardrobe.

Obviously for the bedroom I will need a bed and duvet etc. I already have these and now just need to print off posters of bands to hang around the bedroom.

Point 34: Casting

Pippa Randal is the actress I have picked as my protagonist for the shooting of my film. The reason I chose Pippa is because she is an experienced actress and is also a good singer. Pippa is also easy to work with and I know I can rely on her.

Jil Henschel will play one of Pippa's bandmate and friends. I picked Jil as I can rely on her to help out. Jill may not be as experienced an actress as Pippa but she is very enthusiastic and would love to be a part of it.

Esme Edwards will play the other bandmate and I know she will do a great job as she is an experienced actress. Like Pippa Esme does A-level drama and has also done many workshops and is very enthusiastic about my film.

Mattie Paterson is going to play the love interest of my main protagonist. I know Mattie will do an amazing job as this as he does GCSE drama and is very experienced.

However for my opening sequence Pippa Randall will be the only only necessary actress as the opening all takes place within the protagonists bedroom. I chose to cast the main actors for my entire film to create a better understanding for what the rest of the film will look like. I believe that by focusing on only one actor for the opening it allows the audience to get a better sense of who the protagonist is and the genre of the film due to the setting and decoration of the room.

Point 33: Risk Assessment

Point 32: Location of Shooting

Since I am attending a boarding school the locations are limited and so I have chosen my bedroom for the opening scene of the film as it is always accessible for me to use.

For the bedroom scenes I am going to use my own dorm room as it is easy access and is plain so can be decorated to fit the independent music film. Since it is my own room it means that I can spend time making sure the scene is decorated appropriately and realistically. 

This is the hughstreet of Elgin and if I were creating the whole movie I would use this for the scenes later on when the protagonist is meeting up with her bandmates. However it will not feature in the opening scene of the film I am going to make.

This is the Ogstoun Theatre at school which I would have used for band rehearsal scenes later on in the film.

In conclusion the only location I shall be using for my opening scene is the bedroom as that is where the entire opening and title sequence takes place.

Point 31: Shot List and Shooting Script

Here is my shot list and shooting script, clearly things may have to be altered when filming depending on how it turns out. It may change due to dramatic effect or if it isn't possible to do something a certain way.
