Our Group

Our group consists of four individuals: Ryan Howard, Max Levene, Georgina 'Didi' Finlay and Gabriella Kingsley. (The blog links are located on the right). We all developed the short story which we then called 'Smile', and then wrote a script. You can view all of our pre-production, production and post-production once they have been edited into our blogs.

Soundtrack

As well as Max doing some of the soundtrack, our group have managed to get copyright from two recording artists, Shaheen who was in the final of Britain's Got Talent, and a soul/funk group, UnkleJam. The songs from these artist's might be used in our montage sequence, but we are not yet sure on which one we are going to use.

Production Meeting

We had a meeting in our lesson about which student is going to take up which roles. It is important that everyone learns about their own individual roles, and sticks to them. Those using Camera and Sound, will need a tutorial.


Ryan is now the director, while Gabriella is now producer.
