When trying to ascertain feedback from the audience there are two ways of collecting it - Qualitative and Quantitative feedback.
Qualitative: This form of feedback provides us with very in depth feedback that tells us what is good about are work, and what specifically can be improved. However the difficulty with qualitative feedback is that you generally don't get it from as many people, and as each individual's opinions are subjective, it is difficult to know if the changes we are making works to the benefit of the collective audience, or just the individual.
Quantitative: This form of feedback allows for a much larger collection of data and opinions, which allows us to see what the overall view is, and helps us to see any general trends of opinions. However, the scale in which this sort of feedback is collected, results in a lack of depth and constructive criticism in the feedback. While it allows us to see what people like and dislike, it doesn't necessarily specify where we could improve or possible changes we could make.
Having reviewed these two forms of ascertaining feedback, I think it is very important that we in our group ensure we collect a mixture of both qualitative and quantitative feedback. This is to ensure we have useful in depth feedback, but also that we recognise the likes and dislikes of the audience as a whole.

Filming Schedule
The vast majority of our filming will be done indoors, and so the weather is not too much of a concern for us. However there are a few shots through a window, showing rainy and stormy weather, but as we will be filming in November and December time, this should not be too much of an issue. If however, we can't get a day with the appropriate weather then we will create the rain with the use of a hose pipe out of an upstairs window.
As we want to get the filming done as soon as possible, I looked at the weather forecast for this week. From it, I found that this Friday looks like the most promising day to get the filming in the rainy and stormy weather done.
Time of day is also not much of a concern for us as the majority of our filming will be done indoors with set up artificial lighting. For the few sections we intend to film outdoors, we will likely try to film them around midday, as this is the point in the day when the sun is at it's highest and most intensive, providing the best natural lighting possible. In addition, my partner Isaac, is also more likely to be available during the middle of the day, and it will provide us with as much time as possible to film with good light.

Actors
Are short film only has one human actor in it, the main characters are pieces of fruit. And so to begin looking at pieces of fruit that we could potentially use, we went to our local supermarket to browse the fruit available.
Our focus characters are an apple and an orange,
and it didn't take us long to find two appropriate
pieces of fruit. These ones are large enough to
easily film with, and would clearly appear as the focus in the frame. We consider the Orange to take the male role, and the Apple the female role, with this in mind we tried to find a particularly shiny and rosy apple, so it would appear as feminine as possible.
We also intended to have other fruits present and together, to try and exaggerate the loneliness of the Orange, and also to help fill up some of the frames, and give the impression of a more active and alive environment.
The unity of a bunch of bananas, we thought would be a very good method of helping to emphasise the loneliness of the Orange. We also thought grapes could work to a similar effect. Equally, these different fruits create some diversity of colour within the frame, which will help to make it look more interesting and appealing.
We have the choice of using red or green grapes, or possibly even both. The green clashes with the yellow of the bananas, but the red clashes with the apple. So we will likely use both to balance it out.

Risk Assessment
There are very few risks associated with the making of our short film. However there are still some things which could cause problems, and so we will have to ensure we have precautions in place to avoid these potential problems.
One problem could be, that the fruit we are using as our characters could be damaged, or possibly eaten during the filming process. To avoid this, we will ensure to keep the fruit in a safe place, separate from the other fruit when we are not using it.
Furthermore, there will be a scene with a car moving in it. And so to ensure safety during this scene, we will ensure we have a fully licensed driver operating the car. Furthermore, we will ensure there is someone overlooking the filming of this scene to ensure that nobody, including the fruit, gets run over.
