Lesson 3

A2- 25/06/09

In this lesson, we were able to get into our new groups to begin on our task of creating a short film titled 'Rape Awareness'. This film is based around personal safety, and has to encorporate a serious side so it is believable to our audiences.
It is aimed at young girls mainly because they are the most vulnerable when looking at statistics of rape and how it occurs. My group chose to use this time to research the topic so we had a clearer perspective of the topic. We found some shocking statistics which included the fact that nearly all rapes are committed by people that the victim has known within their life. We chose the specific statistics that we are going to use within our film, and next lesson we will start to film this sequence. Our storyboards are now completed so when it comes to filming, it will be easier to create, as we are all aware of what shots we are going to use and the sequence of events.
As we found in our other task titled 'The telephone call', planning is vital to completing a successful film. Although the practical side of filming can take a lot longer to come to terms with, the planning helps this become alot easier as we are aware of what to do in order to create the film.
