Main Task - Film Noir - Character Info

 


Middle (Chris Lawrence)


 

Chris Lawrence - Tony Montoya (07889244844)
We believed that Chris fitted the role of our actor as he is around 6"0 and seemed dominant over his other 2 henchman, we new he would go well with Crystal as they are a couple we saw this as an advantage as we knew as a team there would be no trouble in acting.

Emily Read - Crystal (07951485817)
We Believed that Emily would fit this role very good as she had a good dress to portray our character, we believed as she had chemistry with Chris and is tall and blonde she would seem dominant but also a good actor.

Daniel Oloafe - Hugo (07713587067)
We chose Daniel for this role as we new he was very good at acting to begin with, also he was very big and seems like a leader and stands out from the rest.
Ollie Howells
Ollie Howells - Support Henchman (07895393523)
We chose Ollie for this role as he was a good actor we new he seemed smaller and younger than the rest so would fit the role a background henchman very well

Ryan Smith - Detective (07958312025)
We chose Ryan for this role as we knew to the audience he would come across as shy and quiet a very background character but then can come out and make a huge impact on the narrative. Also he will seem very much like a middle man.

Me and Jake both worked together getting out location and completing tasks such as production schedule and Shot List. This went very efficient and give us a good step in completing our overall production

In lesson work: Lighting workshop

  • In our first lesson we first shown the ins and outs of a lighting kit, here is a list of what is contained inside it too:


-2x Redheads
-2x Stand
-2x Barn Door
-2x Bulb
-Power Lead
-2x Power Surge
-Gloves
-Set of Clips
-Set of Gels

Then after a long show of all the equipment we were given a health and safety lesson:

  1. NEVER mount one of the lights outdoors without someone manning it at all times
  2. ALWAYS switch the light off when not in use
  3. ALWAYS make sure the light is parallel with one of the legs
  4. The lights are HOT so ALWAYS wear gloves
  5. NEVER look directly into the light
  6. ALWAYS warn people when you're going to switch the lights on
  7. ALWAYS work with lights at a low level to start with
  8. ALWAYS use a surge protector
  9. NEVER try and replace a bulb
  10. REMEMBER to include the lights in the risk assessment.
Finally after a thorough lighting show we were shown some techniques these are all listed below with an image:
