SHORT FILM 1.3
Short Film - Escape
Script - Escape
This is the script my group and I creating our short film from. This script was written By Irene Gall, who is taking the role as the director for our short film.
First Location Reece Sheet - Classroom
Classroom Location - Not Suitable
For this task, I had to create a reece sheet to analysis whether this classroom setting was suitable for my group's script. This allowed me to visually check whether it would suit our scene and safety check whether the location was appropriate for the actors and team to work there. Overall, this location was not suitable as it was in an indoor setting that restricted the natural sunlight my group and I want for our short film. The location also lacked in vegetation which is a priority part of the setting that we need for our short film.
Photo Storyboard - First Location
For this task, I had to take photos act in photos when capturing the storyboard images. This captured the shot by shot image of the scenes in our script. The shots in the storyboard are in order of the scene.
Shot Types - STORYBOARD
These shot types establish the shots used in each frame of the storyboard. This prepares and organises our visuals of the shots before shooting/filming.
- wide shot
- close up
- mid shot
-over the shoulder
- close up
- mid shot
- over the shoulder
- wide shot
Risk Assessment - Location Field
For this task, the producer in our team had to create a risk assessment sheet of the location (field) that we chose to shoot at. This helped prepare us for any health and safety regulations in the future, when shooting.

Release Forms - The release forms state is a legal document that states that the actors on set and included in the film have given their permission to be filmed.
Filming Permission - The locations in which the film set is shot in are all allowed/legal. This legal document states whether the location chosen for filming is allowed to filmed in.
Violence/Offensive language - Our short film is a PG and therefore is allowed to be previewed to children. Although there are some illegal actions (stealing) in the film, we represent these actions as something to be looked down upon and not follow. This will help encourage the youth, and those watching not to steal.

Recce - Location Field
For this task, we scouted a location we wanted to film and analysed whether it would be suitable to film/shoot at. This location was suitable as it was an ideal outdoor setting for our script. And there was little risks in that location.
Shot List - outside Location
This task was to devise a shot list of our short film. I created this shot list to clearly break down the shot by shot of what happens in each scene. This included the character's movement, shot type, shot nagle and the day and int or ext the shot is set in.

Dark hoodie, jeans and beanie.

My group and I had technical difficulties when having our location set in a field. We changed the location to a new location (classroom). The classroom setting worked as a better location because
our equipment was not harmed by the weather or mud. The script was shortened as well due to timing towards our final edit.

Legal and Ethical
These two sheets describe how my group and I's short film is legal and ethical. The legal and ethical is important as it is one of the documents that shows how the film is suitable to be viewed to an audience and won't cause conflict or abuse towards anyone's race, gender, religion etc.
Location Change and Script Changes
our equipment was not harmed by the weather or mud. The script was shortened as well due to timing towards our final edit.
Second Storyboard - New Location ( Classroom)
This second storyboard shows the shot by shot of each scene. The images are screenshots from the rough edit. The second storyboard visually shows the shot types that are used in the short film, as well as the mise-en-scene of the scenes. The second storyboard also shows the change in location that my group and I chose to re shoot our short film in, as originally it was located in a field, not a classroom.
Shot Log
The shot log is used as a breakdown of the footage and how good its quality is. Both including audio and camera shots. This is incredibly useful when choosing the footage you want a short film. My group and I created a log shot for each page of the script, to use when editing our footage. This shot list is based upon the footage
Rough Edit - Short film Escape
For this task, my group and I had to use one of our scripts (we voted) on the script titled Escape. My group and I chose our roles in creating the short film. My role was to act as a character called Dan. We also each had to create a rough edit of the short film, this was important as we reviewed the rough edit and thought on what we could improve on for next time. As my group and I are re shooting our short film to improve the scenes that were poor in the rough edit.
Here is the link for my rough edit of the short film.
- The same shot types are repeated too much
- Audio cuts and the wild track volume is too quiet
- White balance was too low
- Costume change was very obvious and looked visually choppy
- Keep actors in same position as their positions change
- Keep actors in same position as their positions change
Second Rough- Short Film Escape
This is the second rough edit of the Short Film my Group and I created. When editing this project I used Premiere Pro. My role within the short film was to act as one of the main characters, Dan and provide help with the sound equipment.
Here is the youtube link for the second rough edit for the short film.
Final Edit
This final product of the short film I edited myself. My main role throughout the post production of the film was to act as my character Dan. The lines I recited were from the script, written by the director of the film (Irene Gall). Another minor role I had was to teach and help with sound mixing/recording when filming. The final edit includes credits and a title sequence, I chose to create the title sequence as I felt it gave more of a creative vision and depth to the film's introduction. The audio used in the title sequence, I produced myself. I used GarageBand in order to create the synthesised sounds and bass. I chose to have an ominous and heavy beat for the audio as it reflects the film's genre, drama and foreshadows the film's dramatic tone to the audience.Here is the youtube link for the final edit for the short film.
