Inspiration for Prank Style

After coming up with the pranking idea for our short story, we then researched into different pranks that people have done before for further ideas to develop our short story plot further.
Each of a us searched into pranks on the internet; on Google and on YouTube; after a simple Google search we found few useful lists of pranks, and from these we took the best ones that we thought were most do-able for us and created the survey with them.
As well as this, we came across this YouTube channel (see below); 'Pranks vs Prank'; a channel that is created by a couple who are always pranking each other; and this gave us the inspiration for our short story.

Prank Survey-Group

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey , the world's leading questionnaire tool.


Anyone who has clicked the link that we have sent out via our Facebook and Twitter pages and has ended up here, please click on the pranks that you think are the best ideas and would best fit a comedy short film that we are creating. 

This is the survey that we are asking people to fill out with their preferred pranks that we could include in our short film; we will close this down on Wednesday 8th October for us to analysis the results and finalise the pranks that we will use in our short film.

Sharing Survey on Social Network.

Gemma and Olivia put the link to our survey on their Twitter feed and Facebook page to gain audience feedback. 
We decided to post the link on these social networking sites because our friends and followers on these sites are the same age and class and our target audience - 16-25 year olds, working/middle class - therefore we are asking our target audience to give us feedback on the pranks that we could potentially use in our short film, and having their opinions included into our film means that we are more likely to target our desired audience.
.
We have set a deadline of the Wednesday the 8th of October so we can discuss the feedback as a group in our lesson and plan the scenes which involve information from the survey.


We have linked our SurveryMonkey survery onto a post on our blog - this is the link that we sent out.

Pre-Production Roles

To keep the whole production of our Short Film organised and under control for the three of us, we allocated roles that each of us could focus on to ensure that all of our pre-production planning can be carried out and the work load shared between us.
Even though we now each have separate roles, this doesn't mean we will carry these tasks out completely alone as we will always ask the opinions of each other to ensure that our tasks are carried out with all of the group in mind, so that we can all agree on all aspects of our short film.


Location Scout - As it will be in filmed inside the characters home, we will use someone's house as the location, and this has been decided by us all and we are all also going to take pictures of different rooms in our own houses and together we will then make a decision on who's house would be the better location that's most suited to our short film. 

Prop Buyer - Matt - who will also research into the props that we need to have to carry out the pranks and also to make the location affective.

Short Film Scene Plan

Our Short Film Synposis

Brothers and sisters have a natural rivalry. 
From getting each other in trouble on purpose and jumping out on one other when they were still in nappies; these two siblings have always wanted to get pay back ever since they can remember. And when constantly getting revenge on one another in the form of pranks starts to become more of a hobby for the two of them, they come up with an idea. The two decide to develop this past time of theirs and share the pranks that they pull on each other online so that the whole world could see, just for a bit of fun.
Prank after prank after prank get uploaded onto their YouTube channel. Little did they know about the online pranking sensations they were becoming, that was until they noticed the growing number of views, likes and subscribers the siblings were getting. 
Their thriving online fame becomes noticed by just the right people who make the pair an offer that just might turn their lives around.
