Problems

Bad Weather 
Due to bad weather we were unable to film outdoors the whole of last week and even on the weekend because of the snow. It started on Saturday and continued on Sunday and it got worse during the week so Ashley an I decided to film indoors on the sports hall
The weather forecast shows the bad weather which caused us great inconvenience

Filming
At first Ashley wanted me to film him playing a match in the sports hall with other players so the match they were playing was real and we could not control the players or tell them what to do ie who to pass to, where to shoot etc so I had to try and capture everything with my camera. It was difficult because when Ashley Scored a goal, I did not catch it on camera and we were not happy about that and I could not tell him to re-do the goal. Overall filming this way was unsuccessful so we decided to make it script written so we could tell the actors what to do and when to pass to another player etc. This way it will be much easier and better because we can redo the shots if it is needed.
This way we will be able to capture everything we need on camera and we will be able to shoot from different angles and we will be able to control the match

Location

Changing room that the character gets ready in

Bench that the girls are going to be sitting on and cheering Ashley. It would be a cutaway

Other cast - Extra

Dami Adewuyi
Patricia Sanywolu
Shantay Akrasi

These three girls will be extra actors in my film and they will only be shown for a few seconds simply because they are going to be used as a cutaway.
They will be a cutaway of them cheering and smiling when Kofie (Ashley) is playing the match. So it is like they are cheering for him which shows that the is good and  they support him.
The cutaway is used to make it more interesting and more exciting

Mayowa Idowu
Mayowa is going to be the mysterious man who makes a phone call to someone we dont know and say "Sir, we have found him" we are not going to see Mayowa's face we are only going to see from his nose down. Although we will see Mayowa's steps as he is walking. This suggests mystery and excitment.

Props

Since this is a film about football there is lots of props used to create the scenery and the environment.We are going to use a lot of props in the clip, we are going to use the basic props that we think is necessary to build up the scene.

We are going to use a football, football kit that would be worn by the players during the match, a football net and a phone that the mysterious men at the end use to contact each other.

We chose this location for the football net because it has good lighting 

The football that we borrowed from the boarding house

This is the Character in his football kit 

Soundtrack

The main character of the movie is Ashley Kates and he will be playing as Kofie Gogo and he will be playing a young boy from Zambia who is very interested in playing football and who has dreams of being a professional football player.
Because he is of an African decent, we found suitable song and it is a piece with drums and it is a fast beat.We found this song on www.freeplay.com this song will be played throughout the movie and when the drums start that is when the scene will change from him dressing up to him playing in the match.

Emailing Hull City

Ashley and I initially wanted to film in the football stadium in hull city, that is where he wanted his film to take place. Instead of playing a football match, we wanted him to watch a football match of his favorite team.
This is a copy if the email he sent

"My name is Ashley Kates and I am a lower sixth form student at De Aston School, Market Rasen. I am currently studying A level Media studies, and the brief for my coursework is to compose a film opening lasting 2 minutes. I am a big Hull City fan and a season ticket holder, and I am writing to request permission to record inside the KC stadium on November 20th in the game vs Ipswich Town. I must stress that no reference to the game in question will be made. The shots involved would be: walking towards the stadium, handing in a ticket in the turnstile, walking into the stand, and a close up of East Stand Hull City fans singing. The storyline of the film is of a youth who dreams of being a footballer. I hope that I have included all information necessary and would deeply appreciate permission, as this is an idea that I am very excited about.

Regards
Ashley Kates
Season ticket number 95797"

Unfortunately we did not receive a reply in time so we decided to have a change of  plans and that is where our idea of playing a match generated from.

Storyline

Ashley's Idea was a football one but we decided to add a twist to the story and put some of my ideas and plans in it. Ashely had an initial idea to film in the football stadium but those plans got abolished because the football club did not respond to his email on time, So we decided to go for the second idea which had a different start and different shots.Instead of starting the clip with a time elapse shots of him dribbling the ball with his feet, dribbling the ball with his head and scoring in the goal, the clip will start with time elapse shots of him putting on his football kit and preparing himself to play a football match. These time elapse shots will have opening credits and titles with them so between every action there is a close up shot or mid shot of him doing something that relates to him preparing for his football match. The new shots are going to be of him putting on his football kit, the first one is going to be of him putting his jersey shirt on following the title of the movie "A Dream Of Glory" after that there is a shot of him putting his socks and shoes on following credits saying "Produced by Ashley Kates & Anjola Delano"  Then another shot of him continuing to put his socks and shoes on following the last credits saying "Starring Ashley Kates" then the rest of the film begins..
We have decided to change the setting at the start of the film, now he will be getting ready in a football in the changing rooms. He will be alone just putting his kit on and playing around with the ball and warming himself up before the match. He plays with the ball and dribbles it and kicks it around and we get a close up from his knees down to his feet. He will then go to the Astroturf to play a match with the other players and he will win that match and celebrate with his other team members. He does not realize that someone is spying on him as he is playing, the creepy man then makes a phone call and says "we have found him" and then it comes to a stop.

Choosing Pairs

Ashley and I have decided to work in a pair, at first we were confused and we thought we were meant to make one video clip each, we got confused because of our preliminary task where we had to make one video each even though we were working together. So me and Ashley had started off with having 2 different ideas, mine was a love story and Ashley's was a football story. When we found out that we were meant to do one video together, we decided to go wish Ashley's idea because he had his own planned out a bit more better than i did. He had already decided where and when he wanted to film and he was very keen on his story, I had trouble thinking about an idea and I had not fully decided what I wanted to do. Ashley's idea was very interesting and well thought out, you could tell had really thought about it and used his imagination very well so I had no problem going with his idea.

Looking At Other Candidates Work

Alternative Justice
This candidate has shown that he has a very good imaginatinon because he has shown he has carefully thought of his idea and what he is going to do in his clip. It is a very good storyline and it creates suspense and mystery. The props are also very good and they match up with the story very well. The soundtrack used is a good one and it also has very good sound effects. It ends with forgrounded breathing and that is very creative and smart. The bad thing about the clip is that too much time is wasted on the opening sequence and it is very long.


These Streets
This candidate's clip is not as well thought out as the other clips that i have seen. The major bad thung that we noticed is that the opening sequence doesnt really have a story line, we never relly understand what is happening or what they are doing. Also they filmed at night so the lightening was not that great either. Good things about this is that it is filmed in real bar, so locations have been thought about carefully and well so it can look professional. There is a good voiceover shown in the beginning which is a good used of sound effects to add suspense and mystery to the clip as the storyline is meant to be  based on suspense.

Veridicality 
This was the best clip that was shown to us, it was very good and it looked very professional and it seems that he had a very wide range of ideas. It was based on horror so it had a good mix and a nice balance of music used, he did it in a way that the music suited what was happening in the scene. The horror scene had scary music being played in he background to add fear and mystery. Another good thing about the clip is that it has animated titles he put the titles on the stairs of an escalator which makes it nicer and gives it a good touch. There is a also a good use of close of close up of him tapping his feet at the start when he is on the phone and it is also an example of cutaway. At the start of the clip when he is on the phone, we can hear the phone ringing which is a good sound effect, we then later see the phone in the house with good close up and the background is blurred and we know that something is happening but we are not really sure, at the end someone wakes up out of a dream after he had withnessed a killer in his house, this shows vey good ideas used and good imagination and it keeps us wondering if it was only a dream. Also there is a good use of lightning use, at the end we also get a good idea of what the film is about because we get the defination of veridicality
