General Planning

Presently planning to meet at Maisie's house at 7 (to ensure the setting in terms of weather matches the story that begins at night, in a dark street). It was decided to use Maisie's house as the location as it was suitable in regards to the surrounding streets as well as being convenient for us and easily acsessable.

We have shared the responsibility of providing the different props, and equipment. For example I am supplying the HD Camera and costume whilst Maisie will have the tripod and crucial prop that is the house telephone. I am currently in charge of the Production Booklet therefore I will be bringing that to enable the completion on it during shooting.

Shauna (our main actor) is going to meet me at my house before we make our way to Maisie's where our secondary actor will join. Actors have been carefully chosen to suit the requirements of the roles.

We hope to have all filming done in no longer than 3-4 hours, as it could  be difficult to replicate the positioning of props, weather conditions, actors make up/hair ect.

Notes for Filming and Editing

Short hand version of the general order and vague details of the going-ons in the opening sequence to keep nearby when filming. And then again when editing to save time.

Filming Date

Filming was suppose to take place Sunday 30th January, however due to complications with various factors such as unavailable actors and unsuitable weather, therefore it has now been postponed to Thursday 3rd February.

Blog Checklist

This is a checklist I wrote to ensure we would have everything we need to on the blog and know exactly what needs to be done. I also gave a copy to Ella so she also know what we needed to do as a group and give our best efforts to get the best grades possible.

Script

This is the script I prepared for both the actors (to learn in advance dialogue) and the Camera crew/ Director (for other purposes such as knowing where to be and where to shoot from) to use when rehearsing and filming our Opening Sequence.

Film Production Guide Booklet

The following scanned in pages show what was completed during the Pre Production stage.
