The Boy Who Couldn't Read
Production Diary
On Monday we were first put into our groups. The group included Josh, Leah , Amara and Lorna.
The next day we came up with ideas for the film and made a plan. We had an idea to begin with but we were not happy with it so we changed it. The next idea that we came up with was to have a boy in a classroom that couldn't read, we planned out the setting, characters and props that we needed. We also decided on what each person would do when making the film; Josh would edit and act, Lorna would act, Amara would film and Leah would do the camera work and some editing. Josh also wrote the script.
The next lesson we made a story board for the film clip and the shooting schedule, we planned out the days that we would film and how long the filming would last. We also planned out which days we would edit the film.
The next two lessons we spent filming; we did the whole film a few times so that when we looked back at them, we could choose the best of each shot.
We then spent 2 lessons editing and evaluating, Leah and Josh did the editing , Amara did some written work for the prelim and Lorna made the logo.

Genre Conventions to Include
We were given the genre - Comedy
Setting - Usually locations associated with social interactions.
Camera - Naturalistic camerawork. Shots are usually exaggerated and seem to be mocking drama.
Sound - Diegetic sound, such as dialogue, must be clear so all jokes can be understood and laughed at. Non-diegetic sound is added during editing in order to add emphasis.
Lighting - Bright or natural lighting is commonly used to create a realistic environment.
Initial Idea, Title and Script
Our film title was 'The Boy Who Couldn't Read'. We decided that the story would evolve around a teenage boy who never learnt to read. A girl then decides to teach him how to read throughout the film and the boy finally learns at the end. In the opening the boy is seen sitting at a desk in a classroom struggling to read. The girl is then seen coming toward the classroom
