  Evaluation / Project Diary Throughout this unit, I have had a lot of different ideas that had a big influence on how I have approached our film. I was always finding new ideas and new techniques that I thought would help get a better vision of how our film would look. I got many of these ideas whilst working on the different elements of this Pre-production unit. In this blog post, I will go over every element that I worked on throughout this unit from the pitch, research, criticality, and paperwork. I will be going over what I contributed within these elements, what I learned from doing these tasks, and how what I could have done better for future reference. I believe that this unit is my best work and it really shows through what I have achieved for this unit. Pitch The Pitch was the first element of this unit that our group really needed to focus on to be able to get our production greenlit. For this section of the unit we were told that we would be pitching for Ben Cooper- Hea...

I need a team to help me create this film, which means that I will need to hire some crew. However, due to Covid restrictions and the fact that this is a low-budget film, this document will be hypothetical as most of these jobs will be done by me on the day. If I was able to have the right amount of budget this is the crew I would like to help me throughout production; a camera operator, a camera assi...

  Dig Your Own Grave (2018) ​ For the final analysis, I have found a film called Dig Your Own Grave which is another short film. Yet again I will be looking and analysing points for the film through the eyes of a DoP, which means that I will focus on framing, camera movement, lighting, and the equipment used. This film is very different from the two I have already looked at and has a more comedic tone throughout. The first analysis had a horror tone, the second also had more of a darker tone, so I thought it would be good to look at a more comedic film, as I have spoken and discussed with the producer and director and they want our film to have dark comedy. ​ What is the film about The film takes place in an American desert as a gangster's son (Reggie) has been given the job to take this guy out and kill him. Reggie thinks it would be a good idea to make the hostage (Dan) dig his own grave before killing him (like in the movies). The guy who is digging his own grave is be...
