Brief for "The Big Shave"

Casting- There is only one character in this short film which is a male character of a medium build and looks very much like an ordinary, everyday man.

Man - Owen Smith(me)

 

 

Music- the music used is very old and is almost jazz, it has a fast tempo. Copyright protection on this piece of music isn't an issue and we are using the original music from the short film which means because we aren't claiming the video as our own original piece copyright isn't an issue

Song - "I can't get started"

Artist - Bunny Berigans

Date created - 1937

 

 

Location- The original video is clearly shot back a long time ago which has made the location hard to replicate due to our modern fashion in bathrooms however we have decided to remake the short film in a new modern way meaning we will be using a modern bathroom. The one problem that we find ourselves in at the moment is finding a bathroom with a mirror that has storage inside and sliding doors as the mirror which we feel is an important part of the short film its self.

 

Props- there are very little prop use in this short film however what props that are used are very easy to get hold of because they are very ordinary everyday props used by most people.

Shaving Foam

Razor

Fake Blood

 

Cinematography equipment- because the film is very short and only has one location we won't need loads of equipment or multiple cameras because we can move the cameras to shoot different shots.

Video camera(1080p)This is to get the best HD recording possible.

Tripod

Memory card(32gb)

 

Costume- costume isn't really a very big thing in the short film, in fact we very rarely see the mans clothing as his top is taken off at the sink and when shot the mans lower half or anything lower than the sink isn't often in shot however we have a small glimpse at the start and end.

White Top(most important)

Pyjama bottoms  

Socks
