Shooting Schedule 3

Date:  31/03/2012

Time: 10AM-5PM

Location: Gratton Road, Olympia 

Shots: Every shot on storyboard

Actors: James, Callum

Crew: Pierce (cameraman, props, director, etc)

Costumes and Props: Casual clothing, money, briefcases or bags, fake drugs

Equipment: Tripod, camera, tape, etc

Potential issues: Weather- if it rains we may have to postpone filming because it will disrupt the camera. Audio of camera hampered our last session so regulary check the camera for any faults.
This will have to be our last shooting of the film as we will not have enough time to edit and create the movie in order for it to be sent off for the deadline, so hard work must be done in the upcoming days.

Filming Analysis

Filming Saturday 10th March 2012 
  • From the footage we have filmed, we have established that we need to stick to our original storyboard. 
  • Therefore we need to re-film our entire movie again on Saturday 17th March at 10AM. 
  • The footage we have already recorded therefore is not suitable for our movie.
  • We tried accommodating new shots within our film, however, this did not go as we planned. 


Saturday 17th March 2012

As a group we were scheduled to re-film on Saturday 17th March. We met up as planned at 10AM , set out  1st scene up to be filmed with the camera all ready and mounted on the tripod. Pierce began to film the scene and as the scene was filmed we knew we had encountered a technical difficulty. Reviewing the clip it was clear to see that the audio on the camera had a fault as dialogue was broken up. As a group we decided that filming was not suitable for the rest of the day. This further set us behind compared to the other groups.


To set us up to be on level with other groups, after school work is key to improving our current grade level. Filming will again take place on Saturday 24th March at 10AM in order for all our filming to be done by Monday 26th March. We have realised that editing will have to take place after school and during the 1st week of half term.




    Cast

    1st cast member: Callum Bates would be best suitable for the drug dealer role as
     he is taller and more rough looking best suitable for the protagonist role.












    2nd cast member: James Cavanagh would be best suitable as the victim as he looks the most innocent and smaller than the protagonist therefore most suitable for the role.

    Locations

    We have picked the most suitable location for our film. The first part of the film will be filmed in Pierce's living room.








    Then the rest of the film will be filmed on Pierce's road and surrounding roads amongst his road. The main scenes will be filmed in an alleyway nearby.



     Analysis of location
    We have decided to pick Pierce's houses as it was the most pratical for our group to travel and film. With his house being the most central. On further research the surrounding roads around Pierces houses seemed pleasent and quiet for filming. From our research it is best we film road scenes early morning as this was the time it seemed most quiet during these times.

    As for the alleyway, which is a public one. This is not used much by the oublic therefore it is practical enough to set up filming our fight scene there without any difficulties.

    Shooting Schedule 2- Evaluation

    Shooting did not go well on this day. The camera we were given was faulty and could not record images or sound. All previous footage we had filmed on the camera was covered by big black boxes, and all sound was muted. Once again, filming will have to be postponed to a later date.

    Shooting Schedule 1- Evaluataion

    Filming did not go well on this day. Our group tried to break away from our original storyboard and come up with something new, but it didn't work. No scenes were filmed from our storyboards, and filming will have to be postponed to a later date. The only scenes filmed were of us playing a computere game- this was meant to fit in to the new story. We will have to now follow our old storyboard.
