'Maltese Falcon' Re-Make: The Process
 

Before we started filming, each member of the group was assigned a specific role. My job was to create a storyboard showing each seperate shot in relation to the angle of the shot, the shot transition and how long the shot was to appear on screen for. Therefore, I produced a thirteen page storyboard to show how each shot was going to be produced. This also helped in preparation for producing my own storyboard for my indivivial film sequence.

Also, I part of the production process each member of the group was given a script in order for them to learn their individual lines.

Finally, as part of the production process, I took several photos of our group directing and acting to show each person's involvement within the project.

Here we have Chantelle Norman-Golding directing and filming
Yasmin Burhan, playing 'Spade' and Lucy Cullingworth, playing
'Miss Wonderly'.

This picture is showing Lucy Cullingworth filming Yasmin

'Maltese Falcon' Re-Make: Preparation for FM3 Creative Project
 

As part of the preparation for the creative project part of my FM3 coursework I was assigned into a group of four in which we had to work together to reproduce the first six minutes of the film 'Maltese Falcon' (1941), directed by John Huston. As part of this task, as a group, we had to direct, produce and edit our version of the beginning of the film. We also had to provide costumes, props and decide upon a location. The purpose of this task was to help us in deciding how we were going to approach our own individual creative project assignment and make us aware of what we may need to take into consideration when working on our own short film/film sequence.

FM3 Creative Project: Brief

As part of my A2 Film Studies coursework I am going to develop an extended sequence from an imagined feature. It will engage with the issues raised in the production of meaning and the study of film stylistics and theory. As part of this I will also develop my aims and context, which will discuss the aim of the extract and the context of the production. Finally, I will produce a reflective analysis which will select key features of the creative project and reflect critically on both the creative process and the final product.
