Location Scout & Risk

 This is the location scout & their risk for the shoot.


Location 1: Bedroom

(images here)

Location 1

Location:

Lamiya's Bedroom.

Events in scene:

Theres a scene where subject 1 gets a phone call from subject 2 inviting them to go out.

Pros of location:

Its free and doesn't not have rules (unless there are parental rules).

Cons of location:

There could be disruption from other family members in the house, looks too much like a child's bedroom. It's too cramp to film in which can be difficult to manage fast.

Alternatives:

Any other member's bedroom.

Risk Assessment 

Potential hazards:

The furnitures are weak which can possibly collapse and ruin the set.

Evaluate risks: 

Once its collapse, it will take a lot of time to clean up and get it back to how it was originally.

Control measures:

We'll have people look out for furnitures that might collapse, and we'll try to avoid shooting near broken furnitures.

Responsibility:

Anyone who isn't doing camera work or light work.

Time frame:

We could control these before we shoot and maybe doing the shooting process.

Location 2: Fun Areas

SHOOTERS BALI Tiket & Aneka Permainan - September 2024

Location 2

Location:

Shooters, Playroom, Slushy Society

Events in scene:

We will record people having fun, candid pictures and the unique features. 

Pros of location:

Its has unique features and great places to record. Its crowded making it easier to film people having fun.

Cons of location:

We need to pay to enter which can be expensive, Recording people having fun can distract them making them feel uncomfortable, There was traffic which made it hard to move to different locations.

Alternatives:

If one cant then we skip that place.

Risk Assessment 

Potential hazards:

We might distract people and potentially cause problems. there could be locations that do not allow recordings with special project.

Evaluate risks: 

We will ask for consent and avoid making distractions for the people around us, and those who are doing a certain activity requiring us to take turns with those that are using them.

Control measures:

We will have people clearing space and asking consent and record in past space. So that means during recording we cannot take a long time.

Responsibility:

Anyone with good communication skills and confidence.

Time frame:

During filming and before filming.

Location 3: Night Market

Bazaar Canggu I Markets in Bali I Love Anchor

Location 1

Location:

Love Anchor

Events in scene:

We will shoot of people walking around having fun, close shots of the markets, and colourful atmosphere.

Pros of location:

Its very vibrant so it will fit the theme, its a public area so we are freely able to record anything.

Cons of location:

Its crowded so we might be scared to shoot, People might feel uncomfortable if we record them.

Alternatives:

The Flea Market, Kuta Art Market.

Risk Assessment 

Potential hazards:

The place is crowded and we might block peoples way which might potentially cause conflict.

Evaluate risks: 

We will have to apologise and if it creates attention, we might have to leave to another place before going back to take shots.

Control measures:

We will let security, employees, and people know if anyone is curious, if they look annoyed and weirded out will ask for consent.

Responsibility:

If anyone isnt recording well have someone in charge of looking after the behind sets. We need someone with good confidence.

Time frame:

Before or after shooting our shots.

Location 4: Beaches

Pantai Double Six, Tempat Nongkrong Para Penikmat Senja

Location 2

Location:

Double Six Beach

Events in scene:

We will record sunset scenes, and basically candid shots.

Pros of location:

Its very big and has many unique features that we can also put in our scenes.

Cons of location:

We are shooting the scenes during night so it could be dangerous, and there could be a potential risk of losing things. It's crowded so we might have low confidences while taking shots.

Alternatives:

Seminyak Beach, Pantai Batu Belig Beach.

Risk Assessment 

Potential hazards:

Loosing things in crowded places and the sand might be unstable making it hard to balance things or when recording. The water also can be distrustful

Evaluate risks: 

If we lose things, we might have to find a nearby shop and get a spare. If it's a personal belonging, we'll be forced to find it after we finish recording.

Control measures:

We'll have people to look after personal or even valuable items it order for it to be safe.

Responsibility:

Any one of our members that isn't doing a task.

Time frame:

Before we start filming we make sure we have everything organised so that it wont be a scattered around

Classwork

Here are the materials we learned in class that helped us with our tourism ad project. 


GENRE

Genre: type or categories of movies, music, and any other entertainment media.

Genre Convention: the common features that are found in a specific genre.

Conform: follows the expectations 

Subvert: contrast the expectations

EXAMPLE

BASED ON THE MOVIE ABOVE

Genre: Action, Fantasy

Genre Convention: Heroes, villains, victims, fight scenes, stunts, love, kingdoms.

Audience: People ages 6 and above, teenagers, superhero lovers, comic readers.

Audience Appeal: these audiences are interested in seeing a line of superheroes, their own background stories, especially ones who have watched the superhero line such as Justice League. Younger audience might want to watch these kinds of movies to feel cool and increase their confidence and motivation. 

Mr Nick suggested us to watch this YouTube video to have a better understanding about different genres:



CAMERA

Camera Angles

  • Medium Shot: A standard shot, showing the subject from their waist.
  • Close Up: A close shot but not as specific as an extreme close shot.
  • Extreme Close Up: Showing a close shot on a specific part, features or expression.
  • Long Shot: A far shot of the subject full body.
  • Extreme Long Shot: An extreme far shot of the subject to show isolation.
  • High Angle: The camera is placed higher than the character to show weakness.
  • Low Angle: The camera is placed lower than the character to show power and dominance.
  • Over The Shoulders: The shot would be from behind a character's shoulder to show both characters.
  • POV: The angle is shown from someone or something's point of view.
  • Dutch Angle: A tilted diagonal angle, usually showing that the character isn't thinking straight.
  • Cowboy Shot: Usually used to show a powerful character, from mid-thigh to their head.
  • Establishing Shot: An extreme long shot, but with an object or building as its focus subject.

This is an image discussion that our class did to explain the different camera angles:

We we're also given a YouTube video to watch:




Script & Storyboard

 This is the script and storyboard for my tourism ad project.

Statement of Intent

 Here is our proposal for the tourism ad. We all worked together on this.

Statement of Intent 

Tourism Ad

Primary Target Audience

Demographic



  • Young adults (18+) perhaps adults too

We decided to change our target audience age to a post teen age.

  • Both male and female

  • Locals and domestic tourists

  • International tourist from all over the world

Psychographic




  • Nightlife enthusiast 

  • Middle class - high class (locals)

  • People that are able to travel internationally 

  • Adventure tourists

  • Special interest tourists (seeking new things, cultures, and experience)

Secondary Target Audience

Older people (aged 30+)


Or families with kids.

Some people in this age might still have the interest and enthusiasm to enjoy nightlife.


Families with kids can also be targeted but only through some scenes, excluding the night club and drinks. There are also some activities such as the night market that are family friendly, and can be an interesting experience to enjoy when visiting Bali.

Content Overview

We’re starting the video with a close up switching the context to nightlife in Bali (our main context). There will be a blackout scene, switching to an actor getting ready for bed. Then, there will be a phone call that is asking “yo you wanna go out tonight?” Our background song will be remixed between the scenes.


Okay change of plans… because we think that the phone call scene should be the opening of the ad to make it interesting and we’re thinking of a daydreaming kinda thing.


Starting with a girl in her bedroom just about to sleep, when she gets a random phone call from her friend, asking if she wants to hangout that night. She wouldn't give an answer yet, but she lets out a sigh, and that is where the music starts playing. From that scene, it would cut to a scene of sunset going down with a text “when the sun goes down..” and a sink in cut. The first beat of the music would show different cuts of nightlife in Bali. Starting with teenage girls hanging out at Playroom, Slushy Society, and Love Anchor, G swing, and Shooters.

We decide to add a little addition at the beginning of the scene, to do an extreme close up shot on the phone ringing. 


We’re removing the G swing because it’s closed at the time we were about to shoot that scene.





Unique Selling Point

We want to show that Bali is not only known for its tropical beach or heavy culture, but we’re also trying to convince people that Bali can also be enjoyable in any time of day, in this case, especially at night.


Representations

People: There will be the girl actor and the friend talking through the phone, and most of these actors are going to be 18+ because it might contain some adult activities such as night club, etc.


Places: night club, g swing, beach

Dominant Reading (Your message)

“When the sun goes down…” is going to be the main text that would appeal to audiences because the whole point of this ad is to show what’s going on in Bali once the sun goes down, at night.


We decide to change our main message to “don’t miss out on Bali’s nightlife” because we couldn’t get into adult’s locations such as clubs.
