Props, Location and Fashion Planning - Risk Assessment

In this task, we had to plan out the props and clothes of our leading characters in order to give the audience a sense for what the character's personalities are like and to show what we need to use during filming to carry out the plot of the storyboard. We also had to think about what the locations we are going to use are because we had to consider lighting, timing and aspects of mies-en-scene that will make the opening sequence look more realistic. The planning we have done can be seen below: - 

Props for Kathryn:

- Plain black hairbrush
- Designer make up powder
- Chanel perfume
- Designer Mulberry bag
- Neat school uniform
- Shiny black brogues
- Fruit salad breakfast (fancy cutlery and bowl etc)

Props for Jodie:

- Broken and scruffy white school shoes (converse)
- Scrunchie hairband
- Mascara
- Drug store spray
- Ruined scruffy school backpack
- School uniform with holes in
- Toaster and toast

Locations:

- Thornbury Castle (Kathryn's house)
- The outside of Jodie's house
- Thornbury bus stop
- Emily's bedroom (Inside Kathryn's room)
- Emily's sister's bedroom (Inside Jodie's room)
- CastleSixth Form (Outside school gates)

Fashion:

- School uniform
Jodie: tie (tied messily, half way down chest), shirt (shirt sleeves rolled up over blazer sleeves, buttons open at top), blazer (sleeves rolled up, dirty), skirt (short), tights (with holes in), shoes (creepers/converse - scruffy, broken, torn, untied). 
Kathryn: tie (tied correctly, right up to neck), shirt (ironed, all buttons done up), blazer (spotless, decorated in badges such as prefect and mentor), skirt (knee length like the school rules, ironed), tights, shoes (brogues - polished, shiny, tied in perfect bows). 

Risk Assessment:

Learning Comment:

In this piece of research we have made clear decisions as to how we are going to dress and set up our actors in order to achieve the look that best suits the characters' personality. For Kathryn we have decided to dress her in a very tidy school uniform, using a tie and a blazer, with many upper class designer brands such as Mulberry and Chanel featuring in her parts. However
