Producing A Plan Diary

1. Crew Names & Roles
Dayo Awoyale Cameraman/Editor/Director
Editors work very closely with the Director before shooting begins
on a short film, deciding how to make the screenplay as good as
possible. On the first day of principal photography, Editors begin
work in the cutting room which could sometimes be at the location
of the film, looking at the previous day's rushes which are
developed overnight at the Film Lab and synced-up (synchronized,
the alignment of sound and image) by the Assistant Editor so
everything goes in time, doing this keeps everything in time so
nothing pays out of place which will give off a poor production on
the movie. Dayo was chosen for this role as he has a lot of
experience with editing and his can get the best edits into the film
which will make the film look professional and slick.

Renata Magalhaes Pereira Runner/Director/Editor

The skills that directors must possess are good organizational skills,
the director must sometimes step into the chief executives shoes.
The director must contribute constructively to the overall creation of
the movie scene by scene, telling everyone their priorities,
improving process of filming, the budget of the setting and
performances. Directors must also stand back from the practical
which is taking place and think of what can make the scene better
whether it is the location, the props which are being used in the
scene, the characters posture and the way the cameras are laid out.
Directors must also spot the differences in changing environments,
social and political, they may need to change a couple things which

The production Title is Trick or Treat which is based around
Halloween. Trick or Treat is based on a woman called Lauren who
comes back from work on the night of Halloween. She goes to a
party with her partner then finds herself in some trouble, she ends
up killing her Boyfriend however, and the killing was within a dream.
Before she wakes up, noticing shes in a dream, she turns to her
Boyfriend to find out what had happened but then she sees the
killing she had carried out on him. Once she realizes its a dream
within a dream she wakes up with a bloody knife in her hand
wondering what she must have done during the scary knight of
Halloween.
Our short film will be about 5 to 6minutes long, engaging the
audience with little information about the characters, Adam and
Lauren. The subject matters in the film will be Lauren Falling into a
dream, waking up and repeating what she had already done on the
Halloween night she came back from work, murdering her boyfriend

waking up in a bloody bed with and next to her and the knife in her
hand.
The target audience to the film is around 15 to 19; people who
answered our questionnaire were in this age range but gave us a
new concept of a film to record. This helped us make our film better
with the perfect age range for our audience to understand what
they are watching and what is going on in the film.
