Health and Safety

My three cousins are under 16 so I have received permission from my Aunt Tina to film them.

I am carrying my camera and my tripod in waterproof bags and if it rains I will be sure to put it away. I will carry both pieces of equipment around me at all times to limit the threat of theft while I am filming in public places.

I have already asked Waterlow park café for permission to film in the park and for a later scene in the café, and they have agreed to allow me as long as no children under 18 are in shot. If anyone does not wish to be filmed I have to make sure to appeal to their wishes and not film in their direction.

I also must be sure that none of my filming equipment is in the way of the public paths as this could lead to someone being tripped up.

Props and Costumes
  • Book- 'Wuthering Heights' for lonely woman in the park
  • Umbrella for the end of the film when Tina and Alan walk off together
  • Perfume Tina sprays as she gets dressed
  • Black dress and coloured dress for Tina to choose from

  • Black bag

Equipment
·         Canon EOS 7D camera

PRODUCTION NAME

The inspiration for my production name 'Sick Rose Production' came from William Blake's poem The Sick Rose.


William Blake
"O Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm,

That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy;
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy"


The reason I chose this name is because the juxtaposition of the words 'sick' and 'rose' highlights the bitter sweet nature of love and the fact that it has the power to disappoint. 
The word 'rose' also has strong connotations with love and my film is essentially,  a subverted love story.

The production name does not explicitly include the word 'love' which was also deliberate as in case I wanted to make another short film in the future which was of an entirely different genre, there wouldn't be any reference to 'love' in the production company.
