Planning - Opening Sequence



Brainstorm - general ideas for Opening Sequence



Filming

The filming of our Opening Sequence generally went really well and I'm pleased with our progress so far. I would have liked to have more time, (perhaps started slightly earlier) and it probably would have been a good idea to film at the weekend rather than mid-week, as towards the end, both director (me), camera operator (Maisie) and actors (Shauna, Freya, me) were exhausted and gradually become quite agitated. But apart from that, I enjoyed it and view it as great experience. We haven't yet discovered any faults in our clips during editing resulting in the re-shooting of that particular scene so touch wood! I expected there to be minor complications such as family being in the places we needed to film in the house, people forgetting props or equipment - however, I was proven wrong! Overall, great success.

General Planning and Thoughts

Currently planning to meet at Maisie's house for 7pm (to ensure the setting in terms of weather and time of day matches the story that begins in a street at silly hours in the morning). 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 all (not spending a long time on travel) and easily acsessable.

We have shared the responsibility of the providing of different props, and equipment. For example I have booked out and will be supplying the HD Camera and organising costume whilst Maisie will be in charge of the tripod and crucial prop that is the house telephone. This way we save time by not relying on eachother for things they had no idea they were responsible for ect. I am currently in possesion of the Production Booklet also, therefore I will be bringing that to complete the shooting logs.

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 (personality, appearance, experience).

We hope to have all filming finished in no longer than 4-5 hours, as it could  be difficult to replicate the positioning of props, weather conditions, actors make up/hair and therefore there is a demand for us to film the same scene in a range of angles so we have a selection to choose from when it comes to editing.

Changes to - Filming Date

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