Unit 17-D2

Justify the production process of Strayed Above



When in production and post-production and the final product we made sure to follow our pre-production documents and be in line with our filming this is done to make sure the original plans were followed and is in line with the client brief.


Here is a shot of Captain Crain staring outside a window compared with the storyboard version of the shot. The shot is included with the final product to show how life is outside the spaceship for our characters. If enhancements were made to the final product headroom will be given more space to see the entire window and or characters movement as the shot does feel close and uncomfortable as limited space is given.

The same shot replicated within the final product.


A rushed footage of the scene which was shot in front of a green screen.


A panel from our Storyboard which shows the scene of where Kyle Black finds Captain Crain


The video version of where Kyle Black finds Captain Crain.


This shot is when Kyle Black talks to captain Crain about what has just happened this scene is important to the product as it tells the audience why the explosion has occurred and what it has done to the crew members on board the space ship.The differences in this shot compared to the storyboard is the masking of the window and the position  of the characters. Enhancements that could be done to the footage if done again would be positioning of the characters and the outside lighting as its continuity does not match up well with other shots also the light from the outside interferes with the masking making it look weaker compared to the others shown in the final product.

The rushed footage of the opening sequence scene.

This is the shot from the opening sequence of product this was included to show the interior design of the ship and give the Sci-Fi feel as cables and pipes run along the celling and we get to rack them along with the music playing the background it is a fast and effective shot used to show more. The changes if done again would be when filming is to be more stable as the footage does shake making it look not that clean and sharp but it is effective either way as the rush of the footage could represent panic as we have just seen what has happened to our characters.


This is our mood board for the whole production. In the mood board the main colour theme was blue to show SCI-FI and space. The colour blue represents wisdom and loyalty themes that come up within the final production of the teaser scene. Blue is shown through the lighting as blue gels were used with the lighting rigs. The spacesuits are replicated with our dark blue workers suits along with different alterations such as the goggles. Many ideas within the storyboard were implemented in the product such as the space window scene and the control panel for the props within the spaceship.


(Insert sketched panels and talk about how they were implemented which; you have now yay)

The sketched panels are used in . the opening sequence seen in between 0:00 to 0:10 The are here to set where are characters are in the show and to show the space atmosphere as well as the ship. The scene is a fair copy of what was shown within the sketched panels. How ever within the final product includes transitions and the scenes have been moved to flow better than being just straight cuts. as well the smoke is seen at the back of the ship instead of a fireball as this is done in the middle of the teaser scene to show the impact the ship has taken .

Marketing and distribution of Stayed above. The marketing of Stayed above will include the opening sequence of the show as mentioned in the brief this will be displayed on adverts on the BBC 3 platform as trailers or short snippets or scene from the show saying Strayed Above coming soon. This will also be on other social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube this will entice the audience and will make them go onto the BBC 3 platform and search and watch the show.

How meaning is created in Strayed Above The final media product is in line with client brief due to the visual and special effects. The visual effects applied which include creating a mask path around screens , windows as well as compositing footage to fit within a certain scale. The visual effects show the damage of the  infrastructure to the spaceship as the screens in the spaceship go dark or down meaning the signal has been lost or damaged as before it was working fine before the explosion. The special effects makeup used within the teaser scene as well show how the explosion of the ship has affected crew members such as Kyle Black and in which shows how life is on board the spaceship as communication systems have stopped working and the crew have taken damage. The visual effects also create a sense of realism towards the final product as the visual effects display different space scenes and mask over windows to give the illusion that the characters are in space as we se...

Resolving Legal and Ethical issues When creating this product legal and ethical issues have to be considered for. Such as the music for the show we cannot take a music track which is not royalty free as this is illegal. This will cause complications for the product which might halt the time of production and also might not be able to even screen the show if copyrighted music is heard without the use of a license. The plot and the story of the show can’t be taken from another SCI-FI show as well as this will be just copying ideas and would be stealing another IP’s content for our gain so we should be able to research and create our own ideas for the show while including the brief which was given towards us. The ethical issues that may arise is the use of our makeup since one of our actors is Muslim the use of proper gelatine will go against his beliefs and wouldn’t be allowed so a substitute gelatine will have to be used when creating our special effects. When c...
