Producer
Afer being assigned the role of producer I therefore need to research the specific roles and intentions of one.
A Film producer oversees and manages the stages throughout the development of a film production. They will often organise the budget while many of the times taking their own financial risk in the funding.

A producer is actively involved with each major stage of production giving their preferred opinion, whether it is their original idea or an adaptation of someone elses, ie. scriptwriter, screenwriter

Storyline
Our story starts with a man who is showing dog like behaviours, (i.e. eating dog food) After various shots of buying dog food, and flashblacks of playing with a dog in the park, we then see our man frantically handing out missing dog posters before soon enough acting like a dog himself in his own home. The final scene is a woman walking past with a dog and stopping to see our man through the window. The audience then realise this is his dog before the woman walks off into the distance.

Second term

Our first project of dp2 is to produce a film in a small group from an allocated script. One of the learning outcomes from this production is to understand how even though a script can be the same, the way the production team analyse and create this piece can produce a completely different film. Examples given to show this were:

One shot intro

Today has been the first session of the one shot film project. After being given the brief and the rules including:

1. The camera must be fixed onto a tripod. (No handheld shots)
2. Can only have one pan/zoom or track

we were then put into groups given the opportunity to film a pilot scene. One stroll later in the Arboretum (the setting of our pilot video) and we have created an idea. We decided on experimenting with different lighting and are therefore using a dark tunnel.
