AS2 - Task Three: Requirements for a production

For my advert, I will have to find out where I will be filming, who will be in it, what they will be wearing, how much it is going to coast me and how long it will take me to film the advert. It is important to find out all this information before you begin to make your advert because that way it is easy for you to stay within that time frame and the budget. The client will want to know that the production will be carried out in the most cost effective way and this requires a team to be very well organised.

The first thing I will need to look at is the technical Equipment. The equipment i will need will be a camera, a SD card, a mic and a tripod. 

I can get all this from Hire a Camera and Amazon. To hire out a Cannon XF100 for 2 weeks will coast me £391.34. 

For the SD card to buy will coast me £10.57 for a transcend 32GB premium SDHC class 10 UHS-1 300X Memory Card from Amazon.

For the Tripod to buy will coast me £49.99 for a XCSOURCE Professional Portable Magnesium Aluminium alloy Tripod Monopod & Ball Head For DSLR SLR Camera DV Canon Nikon Petax Sony Tripod Q-555 Max Height: 55.9", Max Load: 8KG LF393

For the boom I can get from Amazon and it will coast me £169 for Rode Rycote Videomic With Deadcat Wind Muff, Micro-Boom Pole and VC1 Cable.

The place I will be filming this advert will be in the house. To be able to film this advert I will have to get the landlords agreement before i can do any kind of filming within the house hold.

The problems I can face while filming in the house is people tripping over the equipment, It can be busy with people walking in and out of the room during the filming or maybe the chance of the equipment of breaking and me having to have to pay out for everything and pay for the replacement of the camera.    

The actresses I am going to have in this advert are going to be female and they are both 17. I will be paying them £20 an hour for their acting and they are rising actresses so this will be their first advert they are acting in. The general public will not have to sign a disclaimer because we will be filming inside the house.

The actors will be wearing natural clothes (such as Jeans and a top and shoes) to make it look like the actresses are two normal people having a normal conversation about the Sony new waterproof phone. The clothes that they will be wearing can easily be brought from top shop and the highest amount I will pay for the clothes will be £90.

I will be keeping the costumes in a wardrobe and the props in a cupboard so that they do not get damaged when we are not filming.

The time scale of the filming will be 2 weeks just to make sure I will get everything i need and it gives me time for me to re-shot if I really need to.

The budge for this advert is £730.95 for everything that I need to help make this advert.
