Fiction adaptation: Church tower shoot

When handing my risk assessments, I was told that I would not be able to carry out my idea to film a sunrise from the top of Milton Church tower, due to the possible dangers that could occur, even with safety precautions being in place.

Because of this, I have had to go to my back up plan, which is to contact an old friend from primary school, as I have often seen him post drone films on his facebook, so I have asked him if he either already has some footage of a sunrise over the town, or would be able to film a sunrise for me. I messaged him earlier today, but have not heard back from him yet.

Just in case I am not able to obtain footage from my friend, I have another back up plan, which is to film a sunrise from the green opposite my house, as I'll hopefully be able to get a shot of the sun rising up over the line of houses. It may not have the same desired effect as a sunrise from the top of the church tower, but it should still be able to create feeling in the audience

Documentary unit: Jackie interview

So we could get an outside view on fake fear, we were able to secure an interview with an actual adrenaline junkie, only thing was, she's 73! She was amazing to interview, and her answers were so descriptive, which gave us some area to play around with during the edit.

Jackie was a pleasure to interview, as she was very relaxed and had a great sense of humour to match.

Decision evaluation

Decision evaluation During the writing phase, I drew inspiration from the surroundings at my dad’s house, as there is an orchard on one side and a field on the other. This inspired me because I could imagine something happening within the orchard, and no one knowing due to them being well hidden. This was the starting point for my script, so I needed to develop a story from this. The idea of a murder came from the effectiveness of the orchard hiding whoever was in it, so I thought that this was the perfect place for a murderer to commit his crime. In wanted my story to have a twist, so I thought of a person stumbling across the murder scene, and the killer giving the innocent person a choice of either possible death, or helping with the body and walking away. I thought that this was a good idea as it is a scenario not often seen in films, so was a unique twist. Between the scripts that I wrote for my short film ‘Decision’, I had to change quite a lot in order to make it more e...
