Task 10: Backup Plan

Contingency plan:

In the plan for the short film we have decided to film part of short film at a football venue, Villa Park, however before filming I have called the club to confirm their filming regulations as due to circumstances in the past, stewards at the venue are now extremely careful of what people can bring into the stadium and what you can do there. For example I know videoing the whole game or streaming it online is prohibited. Due to this I have called to check whether or not we can film, if there are only certain areas we can film in and what time the stadium will open to the public because if we do film there we want to be there as early as possible so that there are fewer fans there, this will reduce the noise pollution that the camera will pick up.

In the case that we are not allowed to film at the ground we have planned to alter the narrative to not attend a football match but watch a live match on television instead. In preparation for this possibility I have recorded a previously aired match ready for use if needed. The only differences would be location and potentially some of the culture clashes that the scenes are based around. An example of this is there is a scene where I am eating a pie, which isn’t common in America but is generic at a football stadium as a meal. Therefore if we do not attend the match we will change it for a different food clash in American culture, the most obvious to use is a mix up in vocabulary and have the different terms for chips shown.

Task 10: Risk Assessment

These are the risks we may have to overcome through our filming and may potentially run into.

Task 10: Production Schedule

Task 9: Casting

Alessandro Cappuccio will be playing as "Austin" - the American main character that moves to England

Joshua Stanley will be playing "Josh" - the British character that invites Austin over to watch a "football game" and introduces him to certain aspects of British Culture

Task 8: Final Proposal

1. Working Title: Culture Clash

2. Channel for Broadcast: BBC in the evening as that's when younger audiences tend to watch TV however as it is a short film it would be best released to an online audience on Short of The Week or Filmsshort.com

3. Target Audience: BO8 – Bank of Mom and Dad and BO7 – Alpha Families

4. Genre: Mockumentary/Comedy Short Film

5. Style: Style of Music video: Focuses on raw filming and use of head to head interviews for further insight on situations presented
