Risk Assessment

If there was a fire there are 3 exits out of the room, one is the main entrance, the second into a second room and there is a third door leading into the 3rd room.

There is a table in the room and somebody may bump into them causing themselves injury, to avoid this, all of the crew need to be warned about the hazard and act sensibly at all times.

The chairs could be tripped over if they are not tucked away properly; all chairs need to be moved out of the way once they have been used.

Power supplies could be a risk if they are left on and touched. All power supplies need to be noted and all the back stage crew and actors need to have a wear of where they are.

We need a risk assessment so that we can see what risks there are during the filming and how we can avoid any injuries.

Mise-en-Scene

Lighting:
In the TC block corridor there is a main door which will provide manmade natural sunlight, this will brighten the room enough to make it look cell like.

Props:
There will be one table acting as a bed for the patient with a duvet over the top, we will also need a black curtain to cover over the door that comes into shot.

Costume:
LIAM- White lab coat backwards in order to look like a straight jacket.

JACK- White lab coat, with black trousers.

With these costumes it fits the theme of the characters and more authentic.

Hair and Make-Up:
LIAM - Hair will be messy, face will look tired.

JACK - hair will be formal, maybe glasses to emphasize character.

LIAMS hair will be messy to make the audience see that he is a troubled person. We have made JACK  wear a lab coat to show his doctor characteristics.

Set Design:
The room is spacious and sets a good atmosphere for a cell. It has 2 door windows at the ront of the room with a dark carpet. There is one light on the roof which will provide needed light.

Character Movement:
The start of the filming shows JACK walking down the path then entering the wooden door. He walks into the room and sits on the chair. LIAM is sitting on the bed already, and remains there throughout the duration of the filming. Towards the end of the dialogue JACK stands up and walks towards LIAM in order to offer him some tablets- where it is rejected when LIAM punches them out of his hand. JACK then goes to pick up tablets off of the floor and walks out of the room in a fast pace.

Shooting Schedule
We decided as a group that our production wouldn't take long to film. With this thought in mind, we decided the following shooting schedule. We made sure that the time slot we chose was available for the cast and members of our group, and similarly have arranged around the times that the classrooms adjacent to the location we are using are empty, to avoid any surrounding noise. We will arrange a following time slot if we do not finish filming what we aim to shoot on Tuesday.

Tuesday 19th October
