Script

In the early stages I wasn't highly involved in script writing, but I would suggest ideas which might be helpful and what sequences could be overlaid on the interviews in the final stages. Also, how it could be structured.

The first script was definitely a draft as we didn't exactly know much of what answers we could get and who, aside from Kayleigh, will be in our film, so the script was written trying to predict the final outcome.


The second draft was similar to the first in the sense of trying to predict the shoot and what access we'd be able to get (we weren't successful in getting the permission to film her at work)

Third draft had included roller derby (we thought we'd get a longboarder from Brighton at first, but she didn't reply to us on time) but still tried to predict the outcome. Also it was written as if for two separate documentaries. 
In the fourth draft the skateboarding and roller derby were mixed into one, but still was done before the day of the shoot so it tried to predict the action.
The fift draft was done after the shoot and after the transcripts were done so we knew what we're working with and what answers/shots we have.
The sixt draft was done similarly to the fift but it was a bit more cut down and some of the sync shots moved around.
 The seventh draft was one of the last ones because we started making edits on paper and sticking the sequences together with post it notes. It was even more cut down but still a bit of a mess as the characters didn't work well together.

After all of that we came to our new and final script which, at least to us, seems to work the best.

Influences DOPs and the genre

BEN DAVIS DOP in numerous superhero films, such as Kick-ass, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Doctor Strange, and Captain Marvel. The films I want to focus more on is Kick-ass and Captain Marvel because the audience gets to see how the main characters become superheroes and that is more relevant to our project "The 7 Billionth Hero". In "Kick-ass" all of the superheroes are just people who don't have any special powers. The Protagonist decides to become a superhero and fight crime and starts a new superhero trend.  There's a lot of interesting POV shots  Mirror POV, when he's practicing what he's gonna say to the bad guys. Phone camera    I particularly like this film for lighting. Most of the fight scenes are filmed in low light and there's a contrast between his everyday life and his superhero life. It's bright, warm and slightly yellowish, but at the same time is very monotone to show the boredom a...

Studio Idea

Personally, I found it really difficult to come up with an interesting studio production idea. But because "one idea is not enough" (Brown and Duthie, 2010)  I came up with 3 initial ideas: 1) Guess the song type of game show, but instead of guessing pop songs, the contestants would have to guess classical music. I got this idea from a game my friends and I loved to play and the way my music teacher used to test my class.  2) Travel guide about how to make the most of your trip, places worth visiting and places that are overrated and not worth your time. I got this idea from my sister who travels a lot and from the way she does loads of research about each and every place she visits. 3) Debate/Game show where 2 groups of people debate about nerdy topics ( whats better Marvel or DC, which Doctor was the best etc.). The idea comes from noticing how much rivalry there is between comic book lovers and overall 'nerds'. I feel like this idea is the stronge...

Studio Production and Camera Research

(2016, London) "The camera operators frame the shots and operate the camera, panning, tilting and zooming as instructed by the director vis talkback." p. 51 Camera operators get camera scripts or camera cards as to know what shot their camera needs to be on. p.58 If you see words ' as directed ' it means that the camera OP has to follow the conversation of a guest or contributor. 'on the fly' means that the camera OP will need to use their own initiative in framing shots and listen carefully to the director's instructions via talkback. p.58 Shot sizes: *WS= wide shot; *MS = medium shot; *MCU = medium close-up; *CU= close-up; *ECU = extreme close-up; *2S two shot etc. Camera moves: *Pedestal (ped) up/down = moving the height of the camera up or down; *Dolly in/out = moving with the camera forward or backward; *Truck left/right = moving with the camera to the left or right; *Pick ups = retakes of any additional sequences. On pre-recorded shows ...
