Set design/ Location
Our Rom-com is based in a house showing she has money from her job but the house is going to reflect her lifestyle for instance her bedroom is going to be pink with white furniture however her bedroom is going to be displayed in a messy state. In our rom-com we will film in the kitchen the bathroom and hall. As she is a young women we want the set to look basic an what would relate to her character.

Character movement
Majority of JENNY'S character movement is showing her rushing around this is to represent JENNY'S personality and give an insight of her everyday life. In our opening sequence one of the begining shots of JENN'Y is showing her waking up and rushing out the room this display her characteristic of being un- organised , clumsy and has a very hectic life. There are also elements of her character movement that just reflect her normal life for instance when she is getting ready she is shown brushing her teeth, putting on her makeup and getting dressed.
LighteningThe lightening will display a natural look as there will be lightening coming through the whole of the back wall of JENNY'S bedroom as the window takes up majority of the wall. However we will prevent some light when needed for instance we will script it by showing JENNY opening and drawing the curtains to suggest weather its day or night. This will make the shots look natural. We will try not to use artificial lighting however if it is needed there is a ceiling light in the bedroom and a bedside table light if the natural light is too dim. The bathroom window is situated across the back of one whole wall, this allows a lot of natural light also because its at the front of the house there is already a lot of natural light. This will once again enhance our shots to look realistic and a natural look. The bathroom does have a ceiling light but we probably wont use it if its light outside. The kitchen has windows along too walls as its situated at the back of the house there isn't a lot of natural light but there is artificial lightening we can use. As Rom -com are light and bubbly we need to display this in choice of lightening for example we need to show JENNY'S life in a realistic way by doing this we need to have bright lightening preferably natural as it will look more realistic.
Hair and makeup
JENNY'S hair will be left down and straightened. Her makeup will be a natural base and she attempts to do her eye makeup however its smudges and she gives up.
Costume
Firstly you will see JENNY in her bed wear which will be p,j bottoms and a vest top . Then you see her get dressed for work this includes black tights a tight black skirt a fashion top a blazer and heels this is to represent her work authority as it displays she is smartly dressed wearing heels which most women her age would wear to work.
Props
We felt it was important to use a majority of different props as we found out from our research Rom-com include a lot of props to display the characters personality. So therefore we are going to have fashion magazine all over her bedroom floor to resemble her job as a fashion editor,we will also knock over a box of tampons to cover the comedy element in the Rom-com. A wide majority of our titles are going to be displayed in props for example the name of the film shown on a bracelets , the actress and directs names shown through fridge magnets or on the post. By using everyday products allows us to link in with the character and portrays that natural look of her everyday life which Rom- com achieve. Other props we use are as follows tooth paste, toothbrush, makeup clocks hand bag. This revels to the audience that she has a normal everyday life style.

Unwanted Noise: As our location is set in a house and outside on a fairly busy road we will allow for atmosphere noise, however the best time to film is when there is no-one else in the house as there will be no unwanted noise. Also we will film outside after cars have gone by.
Animals: In our location a dog and a cat live there so we will have to make sure that they are not in our shots or make noises which we don’t want them to make.
Outside filming: we will have to be aware when outside of pedestrians as you don’t want them in our shot, traffic isn’t a main problem as we want the footage to look realistic but the noise of the traffic make cause a problem, we will have to try and film in a quiet part of the day.
Weather: For the outside scene the weather will affect when we film as we won’t be able to film when its raining as it could ruin the equipment
Cars in drive: We will also need to make sure that no cars are parked in the drive when we are filming as this will make the shot look bad and we don’t want to show the character as having a car
Story board
Throughout the pre production stage we had to make final decision about our opening sequence. We met with our head of media teacher and it was noticed that our synopsis of our whole film was fairly vague and she suggested that we added more detail. So as a group we went away and discussed the outcome of our Rom-com. After a few changes were made, about the ages of our character and her job description we began to continue on the pre production documents. We completed our shot list however, when it came to doing our story board, it became clear that some of our original shots weren't going to work so we had to make changes to our shot list by adding more shots for example by changing the shot size and angles.
Our group consisted of 3 people so we decided to split the work up fairly however when doing all of our documents we all was present and discussed how and what to do. As our group only had three people in it we had more work to do however as we all worked together contributing ideas it worked well for us.
