Preliminary Task - Research

Me and Charley both decided that our film would be put in the mystery genre, so we looked into Sherlock to get some ideas as we knew this was around the same genre as our production work.
Some research included:
Such as when he is on his phone instead of the camera showing the phone, the text comes up at the side so the audience can see what is being done, because at the beginning of your clip that is what happens we decided to do the same with our actor Steph and put the text in when we was editting.

We also did research into the target audience of Sherlock Holmes, and took ideas and information away from this. Coming to the final conclusion that our target audience would be based for teenagers and young adults due to the fact that our production is based in a school and the characters are around these ages.

Preliminary Task - Filming

The filming process
The filming process went very well when me and Charley were filming. We did come across some distractions while filming and these were:

• Cleaners making noise - e.g. hoovers etc
• Teachers in the background talking

To overcome the background noise of hoovers etc we decided to film scenes that were inside the room, this way we could close the classroom door and drown the noise out. We would then film the scenes that our outside the room later on after the cleaners had gone.

We decided because we could hear slight speech outside, that we should not worry. This is because the 'talking' is supposed to happen in school time in the school, meaning that of course there is going to be background noise.

I mainly performed the role of the camera man while Charley mainly directed the filming, at some points i would also give my input as to what i think we should do.
