This is the microphone that was used to record the audio in most of the scenes. It was also used to record Foley sounds and environment such as birds chirping and the wing blowing since with control over audio, we can manage in what scenes what audio you'll hear the best

In these photos we are setting up the office scene and the camera and audio. Everyone has taken turns on setting up the scenes and equipment. 

Health and Safety

While working on the project, it is possible for someone to get hurt if no one is there to keep an eye. For this we gave Henry and Harrison a Health and Safety role while they are off camera. They will keep track of the surroundings of the filming area and make sure that nothing is in the way or on the way to cause hazard. Of course they alone aren't going to be able to keep up with everything especially in an envirnonment where tech is all around, so before recording we made sure any unneeded tech, cables, props etc. are offsite and at a far away distance so that they aren't able to affect anyone. By using the Risk Assessment, we looked around for the potential hazards that were listed before setting up to create the short film. Because of this, there are no issues whatsoever throughout the entirety of the project and everyone is safe.

Change Suggestions

From the storyboard it is seen that most of the camera shots will be standing still in which case we would need only a tripod without the full camera suit. This will not only make it easier to film, but also keep away any risks happening. 

Another change that we could make is instead of having the camera pointing towards the bin, we can make it as a POV of the newspaper as Mikhail grabs it. and to extend the ending scene we could make it so that Mikhail bring the newspapers together to sort the clue to who is the murderer, and then get killed. This gives the viewer an understanding on who the murderer is as well. Another change I would suggest is the starting of scene 5. 

On the storyboard it is planned to make Mikhail to enter into the detective's office and look around for the clues from the murder scene, we can change it so that while Mikhail is being investigated, the detective is being called and need to leave the room to answer it. At that moment Mikhail will look around the office and piece the clues together to find out who truly is the murderer. 

And the last change suggestion is for Scene 3 where Mikhail is meant to leave the room after bursting into rage. In this scene instead it can be pieced with the phone call suggestion instead of leaving the room. Another piece of a scene that we can remove is the CCTV footage on Scene 4, it isn't very necessary.
