Understanding your role

 The role that was given to me was editing and sound as i was always good with editing ever since i was a kid and used to love editing random vidoes on computers my teacher also said this role would suit me in our project the other contribution i had was being an actor just for one scene as i was one of the thugs in the kidnapping scene.

Planning Budgeting

 3 masks cost: Rupees 1000 Transportable lighting: rupees 6000 Toy guns: Rupees 600

Planning: Prop collection

 The props needed for the scene were 3 masks for the kidnappers and we also needed fake toy guns we bought but did not end up using them using them. We also needed a chair and rope to tie akbar in the kidnapping scene with a plastic bag we had to get to put ontop of his head.

Story Board

 This is a rough story board that we made with our team mates trying to describe our scenes the drawings are not very good as none of us are good artists but this is us basically trying to describe the kidnapping scene and shows us kidnapping the rich guy and putting him into the car.

Planning: Equipment

  Sony Camera Alpha A600 was used to film scenes such as the kidnapping as the iPhone was difficult to keep stable and because it was outside the camera quality of the iPhone was not very good. We also used a stand to place the camera. This camera was borrowed from Neha's mother. The microphone used was that of an iPhone on the voice recording app. The editing software we used was Premier Pro After Effect which had already been installed on Neha's computer. She had been using this software for most of her editing work which she did as a hobby and she was the most comfortable with it. Sounds such as the effect of a door closing was taken from youtube.

Planning: Costume and Preperation

 The ex military man will be normal clothes as he is retired but the rich man who gets kidnapped will be seen wearing a black sweatshirt and an expensive watch the thugs will be wearing black jackets and hoodies and will be covering there faces with masks that we had to buy.

Below is a picture of akbar showing me his script.
