CONTENT OUTLINEMy idea for my short film my first scene will be shot outside when a highly well known comedian throws a wet substance at a couple of loud teenagers. This will take place inside the Beacon School. This doesn’t end well for the comedian as the teenagers end up following him and finding out who he is. When the comedian is on stage on a life show, somehow the teenagers have managed to sneak on set and sabotage the comedian on live TV. The stage is located within the Beacon School.Starring; Varsh Lautner, Rhys Mikaelson and Kay Mac.

TARGET AUDIENCEThe age range in which I am prioritising to show my project to are between the age of 15-25. This shows that my main target audience is teenagers and young adults.

RESOURCES – PART ONE Location: - The place in which I feel I will be recording my short film will be in the school as it offers a stage in which I see suitable to the idea of my short film. A comedians habitat is usually up on a stage.

Props: - Props wise I wouldn’t need much as the action would be set on stage. The props we would need are a microphone, also a wet paper towel of some sort which will be supposedly thrown.

RESOURCES – PART TWO Equipment: - Most equipment which will be used will be borrowed from the school. The school offers a wide range of equipment such as; Sony-DCR-VX2100E which is the camera in which I have chose to use, Tascam DR-40 Linear PCM Recorder, Boom Poles, Apple MacBook's which I am using to help with the editing stage, Libec-650. I feel that all this equipment will help with the overall production of my short film.

Editing: - There are two methods in which are available for me to be able to edit. These two methods are iMovie and Avid. These are two very upgraded editing software's which will allow me to edit my work at a fast pace.

PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS Crew: - My crew will be a Skeleton Crew which consists of 5 people which are also my peers. Each peer will have their own role.

These roles include; - Production assistant - Lighting operator - Director of photography also known as DOP - Sound recordist - Assistant cinematographer. I feel these 5 roles are the most important with the production of my short drama production. Cast: - As for cast I have chosen to use my friends Kundai and Varshini, these will take the role of the two teenagers Kay and Varsh causing havoc towards the Comedian.

BUDGET – PART ONE Due to not receiving a budget for my production idea has come to me 100% free as The Beacon School offers me everything I need, from a stage to a camera. This allows me to not need to spend any money on the production, therefore I feel this will be a good short film to make as it will benefit my media skills and also not cost a penny to advertise, as I would be able to distribute it for free through YouTube.

BUDGET – PART TWO I recognise in the real world if I were to distribute a short film it would cost money. If this were to happen I would have to distribute money towards the following equipment; (for weekly hire) Total: £2948.37

- Canon EOS C300 Mark II £193 per day x 7 = £1351 - Telescope boom pole £15 per day x 7 = £105 - Mac Pro 12 Core 16GB/22 £99 per day x 7 = £693 (iMovie, will be free on the macbook, meaning no additional costs will be needed for the editing stage).

- Manfrotto 057 Carbon fibre tripod kit with ball head Q5 £14 per day x 7 = £98 - Arri 5 piece lighting kit £45 per day x 7 = £315 - 9 Passenger mini bus for hire for 1 week - £386.37 - Free distribution through the use of YouTube

PROJECT SCHEDULEI have scheduled to record this Short Film within the dates of 20th May and 7th June, I feel this allows me enough time to gather any additional information in which I will need in order to complete my short film and make it a success.Their will be a full week in which the production will take place both Varshini and Kundai have informed that they will be available for this week after 3 o’clock, so shooting will take place from 4 o’clock till 8 o’clock Monday to Sunday.However, if was to be filming in the real world, and peers weren’t available to be filmed for no cost. I would use peopleperhour.com to find my cast members in which would be required.-Pennie G. Actor and Voiceover Artist – Charges £560 per week-Jess B.
