Children's Film-
'What pre-production decisions did you make?'
Before shooting our children's film we brainstormed all ideas of what mice en scene we were going to use and what location would be best suited for our opening. We were trying to aim for a children's/teenage girls bedroom for our location and obviously, our choices were limited when it was being set in a sixth form college. We decided to go for a bare room that had plain walls and nothing there to ruin the illusion we were trying to portray.
We brought in our own props such as teddy bears, blankets, makeup etc. as we wanted to do a shot of everything close up so people get a good idea of what kind of show it will be and get to know the character without seeing her. We later did a long shot of everything involved within the frame for the establishing shot.
The lighting was very easy as in the film it was supposed to be set in the morning so we used natural lighting from the windows and no artificial light.
'What post-production decisions did you make?'
We edited out footage on rough cut, this helped us as it was an easy and fast way to experiment with transitions, sound effects, mixing up the footage etc. We decided to have out credited going at the edges of the screen when the visuals were still playing as we didn't want the children to lose focus without them.
