'Raze' Planning Progress

As the production paper work begins to come to a close we are getting ever closer to being ready to shoot our film trailer. We have produced precise and well thought out scripts and story boards as shown below and have begun to email other college departments to start the screening process for finding the appropriate actors. We have decided on all locations for the shots that we have planned out within the storyboards and script and therefore have also completed reccee assessments of the areas and know the dangers and hazards that may face us, as well as problems that may be created by the areas and are ready to tackle them head on and begin filming once the actors are chosen.

Below are the story boards and the script that we have created in preparation for our production of our film trailer, entitled 'Raze' to allow us to plan and prepare the shot sequences and also decide and come to a final agreement on what shots and scenes we want to depict and include within our trailer to make it most effective and most enthralling as a viewer to watch, keeping enigma flowing and ensuring the narrative also flows well to create a good storyline and a trailer that will create an urge for the viewer to want to find out more. We have chosen to the title Raze due to its meaning; to flatten, destroy and wipe out, representing the destruction of Erin self, in terms of personality and character which is depicted within the film and the trailer due to the negative influences and experiences that she encounters within her everyday life. The Script, which gives the shot sequences and dialogue in more detail and in a clearer format for reading as a producer during production. Script for 'Raze'

We have now emailed (email1) (email 2)the drama department at our college in an attempt to try and gain some more professional and serious actors to take part in our film trailer as we want the acting to be realistic to enhance the social realism of the content and make the characters more connectable with by the audience. We have received a reply with good news that there is a female student willing to take the lead roll of Erin for our film which will make the acting more relastic and also she has also got short hair which will make the hair cutting scene much easier to carry out.

The locations for our films have been brainstormed (location brainstorm) and we then thought out possible places within Weymouth that we might be able to find these types of settings and locations (location ideas). We have now also finalised these locations and picked the ones most appropriate to the style of the film and the atmosphere that we want to create, and reccees have been drawn up for each individual place that we have chosen.
