Progress so far

So far, I have nearly finished the pre-production stage of my coursework. This proved to be a challenging part of the production as there was a lot more to do than I first anticipated. When I first began the pre-production process I assumed the only things I would have to worry about is the producing a story, applying this to a storyboard and then begin to gather all the mise en scene elements needed. However this wasn't the case. The A2 brief is a big step up from AS and therefore involves more effort to gather everything needed. Firstly, the story took a lot longer to come up with than it did at AS. This was mainly because the AS piece only involved a 2 minute opening sequence which left the majority of the story untold. However with a short film the whole story needs to be covered, making it challenging to incorporate everything within the 5 minute period. Getting hold of a costume was also one of the hardest things to do. Usually, a costume would be fairly easy to come across however this was made difficult due to  the genre being fantasy. I still am struggling to find a costume for my main character as the cost of a believable costume is too much. With this all in mind, I will have to make certain changes so that I can keep on track. At the moment, I am slightly behind the approved time as can be seen in the table below. Although I'm behind I still feel I will have enough time to film as I have a good idea of what I have to film.
