Health and Safety.
I have conducted a health and safety sheet. I need my cast and crew members to sign this sheet to show that they agree with my strict and clear rules. I will upload images of the signed sheets as well.

Production Diary: 1st October 2014
Hello,
Firstly, I must apologise for the lack of posting over the course of the summer and early school weeks (In terms of production diaries). I know that it has been a long time, but it means that I can talk about a lot more over the next few entries.
Work for "The unfortunate life of James Flint" is coming along nicely. A lot of lesson time has been spent doing research tasks, which have all given me a more than adequate amount of inspiration for filming. The research tasks have vaired, from creating mood boards, to looking at films that personally inspire us. I found the film inspiration to be most helpful, because I could list down films that I would love to be able to recreate, as well as give my reasons. One of the films that I absolutely adore is "The huge snooze" by Ciaran Davis. Ciaran was a student here at Haydon School just like me, and is actually a very close friend. The fact that a film of this quality was produced by someone of my age gives me the confidence I need to be able to gain the highest grade as possible. If you have not done so already, then watch it. It will blow your mind.
The research and planning does not end there though. Last week, I presented my ideas for my short film to my A2 media class and teacher. In the presentation, I explained the plot of my story, the audiences and some shots that I would like to recreate, before answering questions and getting feedback from my peers. I found the results to be most conclusive.
Storyboarding is now in full throttle and will be completed sooner than expected. I would once again like to say sorry for the lack of posting on the blog, I can assure you that there will be more to come. Thank you for staying with me on this journey!
Until next time, thank you!

1930's mood board
To ensure that I have obtained the best information as possible whenr researching for my video, I have created a mood board based on the fashion that men were subject to in 1930's England. Usually, a mood board is just a piece of work that people do to fill up space on their blogs, but this one is genuinely important to me. Because of the difference in time between the 1930's and modern day, the change in fashion and proliferatiobn of different types of clothes has caused a lot of previous fashion to become redundant and forgotten. I needed to get a real feel for how people of the 1930's dressed, so I could fit it to the character of my film and so I could see whether or not I had a realistic chance at finding clothes like this for cheap. Another option would be to go to a fancy dress shop/party shop to look for older clothes. However, my mum is pretty old - I'll probably find something from the 30's on her wardrobe.
