Understand requirements for a specific media blogPre-Production – My idea for a single-camera drama
Introduction The brief In this project, I have been requested to produce a 3-4 minute drama for BBC3 that will be played on the channel between programmes. I have to follow the BBC Guidelines and the program will be shown before the 9.00 Watershed. The program will be aimed at 16-24 year olds and it must contain no violence, no scenes of a sexual nature and no bad language e.g. no swearing. I will be working with Chloe, Maisie and Reece and after we have come up with our individual ideas, we will come together, pick one of the ideas and then we’ll go ahead with producing that idea as our final product. My individual idea In my idea, I will have two characters (a boy around 16 called Sam and a girl around 17 called Natalie) sitting in a restaurant eating food and having fun. They talk about having a “get together”, and although Natalie is sceptical at first she eventually agrees. He then calls her by the name “Sarah”, which confuses her as that isn’t her name. She demands to know who Sarah is, and to get out of it Sam pretends to have a fall. After being tended to by a nearby waiter, Natalie pressures Sam to tell her who Sarah is. He attempts to leave, but he’s stopped in his tracks by Sarah who claims to be his girlfriend. Both girls demand to know why the other is calling themselves his girlfriend, and Sam tells them that they are both his girlfriend. Realising they’ve both been used, the girls slap Sam in the face and decide to leave the restaurant together to catch a movie. Sam then turns to the camera, confused as to what happened. Personnel involved The most obvious people to have involved in my product will be the four actors involved (actors for “Sarah”, “Natalie”, “Sam” and “The Waiter”). I cannot star in my product because I have to contribute to the technical side of the project, I will have to hire actors from various places. To do this, I will search various different websites that allow me to hire actors from at a reasonable price. I will cover the technical side of the project, being able to direct |
