Ambition

Assets needed for this production:

Footage - We collected all of out footage within about a week with separate filming times on different days. We used a camera and a tripod. The first day included footage of our actor, Dom, in the reception collecting 'results'. This will be used for the second section of our narrative which shows the actor as a teenager going onto college. We also captured footage of our actor in a room on a computer researching things to do with science, this is because he's so interested in it. He's getting ready for an exam and we show him crossing off the days on a calendar up to the day of the exam.

The second day filming, we captured footage of Dom, running with his results. He runs out of the college reception, and then we cut to him running out of the Corpus school gates so that it looks like he has just come from the school. He's running because he's excited about his grades. He runs down Forest Way and onto the College campus. We captured footage of him running up the stairs in the college media building. Our idea is that he's on his way to enroll or have an interview and he's running up the stairs to an office. He stands outside the office and waits before walking in. We have footage of his hand going onto the door handle but he pauses. We finished filming here for that day and resumed on the Monday after.

The third day filming was at a house in Chorley where we captured the footage of our young actor. This is showing how the character was interested in science from a young age and we show him doing experiments and getting excited about it.

The fourth day filming, we had our actor go into make-up to make him look older. We resumed filming from the door-hand sequence. So when he opens the door to the office, he is older, the idea is that this is his office and he's coming to work. We captured footage of him walking into the office and putting on a lab coat, he sits down and starts to take over from the voiceover, this is the ending scene.

We have captured other small shots that either went wrong the first time round or that we hadn't shot yet. We re-filmed some of the footage from the first day where our actor was researching science on a computer. We did this again because the footage that we captured the first time wasn't very good and there were people in the shot that weren't meant to be. We also filmed some extra shots of someone talking to our actor on Facebook, they call him 'weird'; we shot this because we realised that it fits in with our voiceover.



Music - For our music, we have found something that we think will work, made by someone on Youtube. We have sent them an e-mail and have clearance to use it for our work.

Titles - The titles that we wanted have been created using photoshop, we have imported them into Premiere for the editing stage.

Voiceover - We recorded the voiceover in on of the sound booths, using the equipment in there: a mixer, a microphone and a mac computer.
