Although this does not directly relate to the task we have been given; I have thought about music for my film and made a short mix, taken photo, edited photo and uploaded to youtube a possible idea for background music

Single camera film script and music (Hopefully)
This is an initial draft of my year 13 project. It will be an opening sequence to a teen drama in which the two girls become friends, however due to social and family views they find out unwanted "truths" about each other.

These two files I have made in reflection of the characters.
Script
The camera starts
with a single older teenage girl sat in a kitchen by herself. There are cereal
boxes and places set but she is the only one sat at the table.
Francheska: [Inside head] I do most of my thinking before breakfast. I was
thinking about a saying I recently heard. “Communist before you get rich. [Short snap short of a politics lecturer
teaching about the difference between communism and then flicks to the lecturer
in a mansion] Feminist before you get married. [Women in a protest for women then flicks to her walking down the
aisle] Atheist before you have a religious experience.” [A preacher, preaching an onlooker laughing
at him as he passes, then a flick to a car crashed up to see the man in a
stretcher] Why is it we are able to change our minds so quickly? One minute
we believe in something, then a quick change of circumstance and its gone? Why?
How can we just chance our minds to suit us?
Mum: You better hurry up or you will be late
for school.
Francheska get ready
for school intertwined with Zara getting ready. Francheska brushes teeth in a
clean bathroom, whereas Zara pours water over her alarm clock when it goes off.
Francheska pulls on hat and scarf and takes her dog on a walk, whereas Zara
drag herself out of bed, the room is a tip and she looks in her very empty
wardrobe for something to wear. Francheska picks up school bag and gets on the
school bus but Zara picks up gum and purse. Francheska walks into school and
meets friends, Zara on the other hand runs down a filthy stairwell.

Start Of Year 13 Single Camera Technique
This year we are starting to make our own mini film project. This is an even smaller mini movie 60 seconds long to help us get used to how to use the camera in different ways. This is a digital storyboard showing a short film in the style of a documentay of the school

Evaluation
One the hand, our pre production went very well we manged to complete evrything to a fairy high standard and we got all of our form made and signed by the people involoved. In addition to this, all the pre production was ready fairy quickly and therefore we met our deadline with plent of time to spare.
The actual production itself, as previously mentioned, was delayed due to the fact that our actors were otherwise occupied and were unable to film as they had otyher commitments. As a consequence, this delayed the actual production and therfore thepost preduction. On theother hand, once the actors were able to film, we manged to complete the filming fairly quickly. This meant that we could therfore start editing more quickly and do our first cut. To keep the typical elements of a music video we used 'the male gaze' for the women, although this objectified the women, it kept the common themes of a music video. One reason why the production could have gone so smoothly, and without many 'takes' was due to the fact that they did not need to learn lines.
Post production was the most time consuming sector of the production of teh video.
For our intial cut, we had to just match the shots to the music video and give the video a basic structure/skeleton. Once the video was posted onto youtube, it meant more people could look at it and comment on it.
After that I refined the timings to the basic drum beat, adding in extra shots to make the video look more realistic.
For our final cut, we added more colour and transitions to make the text seem more 'poppy'.

So guess what...?
We showed our teacher the second cut and he said it was grade merit and gave us a few things to tweek. He advised that we made some colours more vibrant. Since then, Melissa has exaggereated the 'red' and added more transitions to make the video more smooth between the cuts.
