PRODUCTION PLAN

for my main task I plan to film at Neale-Wade school as most children's dramas are set in a school and it is easy for me to access, locations within the school I will use is the sixth form common room as it is easy to access and also a location that all my characters will use.

For the costumes the characters will wear everyday clothing, this is to show that they aren't any different from other teenagers so the target audience will be able to relate to them, also the costumes will help the audience tell the difference between characters for example trackies & sports top for sporty character & designer branded cardigan for the popular character. other clothing items woren are leggings, hoodies, jeans and coats, this is to show that they are normal teenagers wearing normal clothing, I have decided to let the characters wear 'normal' clothes as from my research most of the other children's dramas are wearing actual clothes and not uniform.

For the props I shall use things you would assosiate with each character type, for example, a smart character would have lots of books and a pen for writing. a sporty type character would have a ball. a'popular' type character would use a mirror and lipstick to show they are obessessed with their image. a quiet type would use a book to show they are on their own and another character could have a paper aeroplane to throw to show they are mischeivous.

For equipment I shall need a camera to film everything with and also a tripod to ensure my shots are steady and this way I can position the camera how I like. I will also need to use a MAC to upload and edit my work on so I can bring everything together, I shall also use a normal desktop computer to access my work. Two websites I will use are youtube.com to upload my video online & blogger.com to post my video to after I have uploaded it.

For personnel I plan to use:
Lauren Brown as a popular character
Chandré Roman as a quiet type
Tanya Wright as a nerd
Sam Rippington as a sporty type
Joe Davies as a trouble maker

Production Dates:
I plan to start filming around the begining to mid january, this allows me o have enough time to get a first draft together for the first deadline of Febuary 10th.

Risk assessment:
The only risks I can think of at this stage is if using the gym the person who plays the character needs to make sure if they use the gym equipment they use it properly & they don't lift anything that is too heavy for them else they could damage themselves.
Also if filming upstairs the characters need to be careful not to hang off the balacony else they could fall over te edge and seriously hurt themselves.
