Game Influence

This is of a game trailer which was released in 2008. I remember this advert because of what happens; the scene changes and the man's attire changes accordingly. This was something I considered to be possibly helpful in how to shoot our film. Although the location of our film won't change, our costumes certainly will (to reflect the era). Using the same/similar shot(s) is essential in this film to show how the lead has been transported to different eras. we have also been influenced by other films such as Billy Elliot where he dances angrily down the street as well as the introduction to Austin Powers: Goldmember.

Health and safety in the workplace
 
 
- As part of our planning we have discussed health and safety while filming our short. We our taking the necessary precautions to stop any potential hazards in the workplace.
- As a priority, we are using a tripod for our camera to stop ourselves from dropping it but also to steady the shot and improve the quality of the movie. We have also used tape to make sure the tripod doesn’t fall over.
- We are taking care with the choice of costumes so we don’t trip or stumble while shooting.
- The locations we have chosen are ideal as there aren’t many people walking around creating health risks; furthermore it makes it much easier to shoot with less people walking around.
- Road safety is also a priority.
- We aren’t using many wires to prevent people from tripping.
- Lastly all liquids will be put away from any electrics for obvious reasons.
