Post 12 - Location Scouting

See the source image
 I researched a lot of places where I could film my final piece. I came up with a few places where I could film and those are:

  • Essex County Cricket Club
  • Wymondham Leisure Centre
  • Swardeston Cricket Club
  • Wymondham High School Academy
See the source imageThe main venue where I set my short film was at the Essex County Cricket Club. I am lucky enough to already play for Essex Womens 1stX. this gave me very easy access to the ground and I was lucky  enough to walk out onto the pitch with permission at our media day.  I also used the Wymondham Leisure Centre as another location for my film. This location is very easy to access for me as it is right next to my school, approximately a 10 second walk. the hall was very large so I could do lots of filming in there, without taking up the whole hall. the location for me was very easy to find and get a hold of.

Post 3 - Genre

Genre Like other forms of popular media, film relies on the concept of genre in order to establish an audience and work within a particular narrative framework. A genre is an informal set of conventions, references, rules, and settings that establish a particular film within a particular tradition of similar films. Within each genre, there are usually subgenres , or more specific variations on a larger genre tradition. For instance, within the larger genre category of science fiction films, it is possible to distinguish subgenres, like alien abduction narratives, or time-travel scenarios. Contemporary film is filled with innumerable genres and subgenres, far too many to go into here, but in order to illustrate the intended point, we will explore three main genres and discuss a few subgenres within each: horror , romantic comedy , and action .

Post 15 - Casting

At first, I wanted to get professional actors to be in my film to keep the short very serious and aesthetically pleasing. However, I soon realised that it would be extremely difficult to get the person to Loughborough, Chelmsford and all my other locations that are at least 1 hour and 40 minutes away. I then realised it would be so much easier if I acted in the short film myself. From then on in, I started to film myself during all my training sessions and all my gym sessions because I knew, the more footage I had, the easier it would be to put the film together. I used members of the public who willingly said they'd help to be in my film and lend a hand. Finally, my peers also helped to be in my film, through school and cricket. They were mainly in the sequences that were filmed at school so it wasn't too bad to get them to come and do it, as I did it during our lessons so we were all free.
