Preproduction Today we were given our new brief, in the same groups as the music video we have to create and interactive film with on an 48 hour time frame. Me, Olly and Jodie went in to the screening room we had a discussion about what genre we would like to do we chose comedy thanks too being influenced by I lost me sofa a Youtube video, we were heavily influenced be this film and its type of comedy, this is why we have chosen to create a comedy. |

But comedy is very niche its very hard to create "good comedy" with out offending people so we i have to be care full about what topics to choose. now we have the genre we started planning coming up with four base ideas:
Lost and found, same concept as the YouTube video we watched.

- A dating show.
- Topic promotion.
- Situation handling.
After we had a discussion about the ideas we decided to narrow it down to two topic promotion and situation handling as these to will be easier to plan and film for this shoot because of the time frame the simpler the better.
Eventually we decide on the situation handling as we can all relate to this and come up with good ideas, everyone in the world has had to deal with situation handling so the audience will like this.
We decided on four main scenes:
For each scene we are going to have 3 choses for the audience.
One of the reasons we choosing this idea is because it can all to filmed in the same location a part from one making it easier.
Next we have to come up with a storyboard, scripts and props. We also would like to use Darren as a Voice over as his voice would fix the style of comedy we are going for.
Today the planning went smooth we all had excellent input and listened to each other. I am very excited about this project and I think it will turn out good if we keep it simple.

Were we gained the most inspiration, the Who stole my sofa video.

So how are we going to make it interactive? We are going to upload it to Youtube, at the end of every scene we will give the audience a choice between two options. This will make it interactive, as the audience will have to choose between them, we will do this al the end for all of the scenes.
Hopefully it will work, I have never tried something like this before it will be a good learning experience for me.

Jodie showed me a Oliver videos of Jack and Dean a comedy duo who create videos on youtube, we watched their videos to gain some inspiration for our production.

I liked this type of comedy it very British and unique, also it shows how much effort goes in to creating short comedy films as there production looks very professional.

We set an Instagram account for our production group called Redtassleproduction we set this up as our social media platform to interact with the audience and the public.
We booked out the audio equipment from college and walked over to Oliver’s flat to start to shoot film. We arrived and set up the equipment and started looking for a good starting establishing shot, during filming we were making sure that our continuity is consistent between takes and scenes |
After lunch we were ready to get on with the rest of the filming, whilst filming we decided to drop the choices from three per situation to two choices and instead of 4 scenes we will drop it down to three as we think it will become more complex and we might run out of time to edit.
