Production/Post-Production

This is the first Scene where we have Young Brett Played by Me at School for this scene we went to a primary school to film. We were there for an hour and a half were I had to sit and stare at the camera, I also had to put on a White shirt with buttons and a Tie on, I also had a blazer on the chair and I had to shave so it looks like i'm a bit younger.

This is one of the earliest scenes we filmed with Nick who is Playing the role of Brett who works in the factory since we couldn't get a factory we had to use Ardleigh house which is near the college because that looks like a factory but we could only get outside scenes. For all the factory scenes we've gotten some bins to use as barrels that are holding the chemicals and we put a toxic sign on there by using sellotape that I ask for in the art department.

This is when we filmed the doctors scene we had Nick come in and sit down then we had him walk past the reception so he can have his appointment this is before the scene where Brett is talking to the doctor and talking about his condition.

Here is some of the emails I sent to Nick since I had to ask for his permission to be in our short film luckily he agreed and my job is to ask when he's available and what time and place we have to meet up Since I have the most connection to him in our group working with him was really great experience and everyone in our group got along fine with him.

This is the behind the scenes for the doctor scene where we see Brett in the doctor's room speaking to his doctor about his condition and how Brett needs to leave his job.

This is th scene before the bathroom scene where Brett is walking to the bathroom and he's looking at his hands coughing and sees blood on his hands and the scene ends with him going to the bathroom.

Here is the emails to Scott asking to book out equipment, rooms etc as one of my jobs is booking out and grabbing the equipment for anytime we need it.

This is when we went to record the scene where Brett and Felix meet for the first time and it started to rain so Ramzi decided to knock on peoples house and ask for a umbrella to borrow so we can keep the camera safe while filming and that shows our problem solving skills.

We decided to reshoot the scenes with the barrels because we wanted to redo the shoots and get more coverage for our film

This is the scene where Brett goes up the stairs to his apartment and where he starts to feel really bad and we have him look up and he sees young Brett and apologises for what went wrong this was the last scene we had to film we got different angles and shots on this scene.

This is the poster of our film noli me flere which shows Brett our main character in front of a factory because that's his job.

Throughout pre production I was working on the timetable and the practice research and by the end of the week I was contacting our actor Nick Field since we were desperate to find an actor and I remembered Nick was an actor and throughout production I was emailing him, figuring out what days he was available, what time he was available and where to meet us, I also was in charge of booking out equipment getting the equipment ready or even booking out the tv studio, I was a Runner getting stuff we need for our movie, During the film there was a few scenes with young Brett which I played for example the school scene at the beginning and the stairs scene where he appears as a part of Brett's Hallucination. I was checking to see if everyone was fine and to see if they we're doing their job.

This is the boss scene where Brett goes to his boss to ask to leave but his boss says he has to find a suitable replacement within 14 days which leads into Brett meeting Felix. Carlos plays the boss and he does a good job playing a stern, menacing boss.

This is the scene where Brett writes the note to his daughter Ashley since he's accepted defeat for this scene we used the blue screen so it can look like a black void of nothingness we've also got the hallucinations scene we used with blue screen.

This is the scene where Brett and Felix meet at the restaurant and Felix reveals to Brett he's got a girlfriend and a kid coming along and Brett realises he can't make another family suffer so he runs away.

This is the death scene where Brett falls on the ground and dies then it pans up to the sky this is one of the last scenes we had to record since this is our last week of filming.

Individual Contribution Assessment

Evaluation

I think the film went better than I thought it was gonna be there was more communication than I thought we were gonna have, most of the time we were all here with one exception but even then that was understandable because of work or lessons. we did have some hiccups during the project such as not booking out the equipment for a day we were suppose to be filming, people being late but overall I thought the project was good and I would definitely work in this group again if I'm given a chance to.
