Pre Production During the pre production of this task my group was first given a script to look at before we began shooting which was to be two characters in a room exchanging a couple of lines of dialogue. We were given it to brainstorm and create a few ideas of how we wanted to film it e.g. what shots to use, what costumes to wear. We were instructed to create a storyboard of each scene and specifically how we wanted to shoot it to make sure each scene created a specific effect and of course to make sure that the movie looked well made as opposed to boring and dull from using the same shots again and again etc. If there was anything I could change it would be the fact that we didn't plan thoroughly the venue of where we would be filming which could've potentially damaged our amount of time but thankfully it didn't seeing as we quickly found out what place was the most appropriate. However, we still would've been more organised if we had planned better with venue ahead of filming. Production During production everything was generally going well with filming and using the props and characters in the correct setting. We were doing everything step by step using the storyboard and script of course because it was a structured way to use our time effectively seeing as we had everything already planned out. We were a bit struck for time near the end seeing as when both periods had ended we still had one more scene to shoot, but it wasn't a huge drawback seeing as we did that in a quick amount of time the next lesson. To film we needed a camera (obviously) but also a tripod which was very useful when it came to constructing tracking shots which by end appeared very professional. Post Production After production we had to get all the footage from the Camera's memory card and edit on Serif MoviePlus. To construct editing in it's finest form we decided like it's usually advised to shoot scenes many times because doing it once isn't safe in the matter that it doesn't look it's best. Scenes also need to be shot many times due to the fact that sometimes errors can be made and it's best to have several different shots just in case. From this task I have learnt how to better my camera techniques and editing also to create various different types of effects e.g. what shots to use and when depending on the the subject of the scene.
"Cameras purchased today are 99% of the time going to be digital, which can be very beneficial to movie companies as it means that the end movie/clips can be digitally rendered as a smaller video file making it easier and cheaper to get the movie out to more cinemas as it helps reduce the cost for the way it will be stored (on a USB rather than an external hard drive." Problems:
99% is not a valid statistic, just another way in saying "majority"
No use of word "Distribution" when talking about getting movies to cinemas
Based on the specifications from the British Board of Film Classification we came to the conclusion that an appropriate age rating for our movie would be not an 18 but instead a 15. The 18 age rating's requirements are very similar to the requirements of a 15 but to a much higher content (very strong violence, frequent strong language e.g. 'f***' and / or very strong language e.g. ‘c***’, strong portrayals of sexual activity, scenes of sexual violence, strong horror, strong blood and gore, real sex (in some circumstances), discriminatory language and behaviour). Seeing as our one only contains a few of these factors (e.g. Violence, foul language) and to a low extent we thought that an age rating of 15 would perhaps be the most suitable.

A dirty area e.g. people from Liverpool or "Scousers" are often called things such as "bin dippers".
Everybody's name is preceded by 'our'. "Our Jake, Our Carl" etc.
Love for The Beatles
All people within Liverpool either support the football clubs Everton or Liverpool. Both have a rivalry with each other (The Merseyside Derby) along with Liverpool FC also holding a rivalry with Manchester United.
Most "scousers" are proud to be from Liverpool although on the outside is generally thought of as a very negative place.
