Risk Assessment For Gossip!

The risk assessment is important because it tells me and Zoe what problems we might face and how we can overcome all of them. Each setting has there own risk but the majority of them are not likely to cause a lot of harm.

Gossip! Logo Drafts

 

This font connotes that the film is about teenage girls which links to the given genre ‘Teen Angst’ and the target audience of teenagers. The colour pink is mainly associated with girls so we thought it was suitable even though it’s a stereotype. Also, the lipstick stain implies sassiness which is a characteristic of the actresses in the sequence and what the film contains.  

 

 
This font works well for the film as it conveys the genre successfully. I think it conveys the genre as we have decided to use a bubble-gum pink colour  which is stereotypically associated with girls. The lipstick connotes that the girls are in their teenage years and the two kisses suggest that they might be quite intimidating and popular. We have used this font as it looks like it has been written in lipstick.

 

The layers of font are different shades of pink and purple which gives this logo a 3D effect so it is eye catching to the target audience. We wanted to include the lipstick as it conveys our genre successfully, we have turned it into an exclamation mark point which changes the tone of the film slightly. The lipstick kisses suggests that the film is related to drama with boys and between girls. Pink and purple colours in the title match the lipstick marks which develops the genre aesthetic.

 

Planning Schedule/Shot List For Gossip!

*start by capturing mumbles between students for ambience at lunch*

- Get students to walk out of the double doors as the bell goes.
- (from behind) Shoot Jenna and Bryony walking and talking (refer to script), they walk separate ways
- Slight zoom to where they were standing

*different location, house*
- Jenna brushing her hair shot from side view
- Flicks to Bryony doing make up in different house (front view)
- Back to Jenna holding up dresses (mirror view)
- Split screen of them going down different stairs (long shot)

-Cuts to Bryony putting heels on (low angle, heel close up)
-Back to Jenna (long shot) she turns off light, shuts door (camera still inside)
*natural fade to black*

Film Jenna and Bryony walking down a street but separately to make a split screen of them both, then Bryony goes into someone's house and Jenna stops walking. One shoot of Jenna walking and stopping, two shoots of Bryony walking then sat in someone's house.

As Jenna rings Bryony (film Jenna and Bryony talking separately so the audience can see their locations) close up of both of them on the phone.
Then zoom out slightly when Jenna hangs up and flick to Bryony (zoomed out) in a house sitting next to some guy.

Film Jenna again getting a call from Ronnie, show Ronnie on other end of the phone when she talks but ending line from Ronnie shows Jenna looking frustrated and being silent.

*cut to black*
Title 'Gossip!' shown on black background fills the screen.
