Booking Equipment:
Before we can actually film anything we have to book all the correct equipment out on the days we are filming and if on the weekend book it out for the entirety of the weekend. Jack was set to do this and be in charge of the equipment however we will all be looking after it out on set so us other three members of the group are listed as participants of the booking.
Scripts and Storyboards:
For this we will print off 5 copies of the script, one to give each actor and two for us to look at on the day. The actors will be receiving the scripts A.S.A.P to ensure they understand what they are doing and they will also be given a link to the Animatic to look over what we are looking for. As for the storyboard, we will use the master copy of the storyboard when we're filming save having to print off so many sheets of the (extremely detailed) storyboard we're all about that environmental life. We will only take the pages we need as we're not to loose pages we have yet to do.
Transport and Locations
For most of us, getting to and from the locations is easy, with each of us having at least one location that is only a short walking distance away from where we live. If that is not that case, Jack has accessibility to his own car and can drive us if need be, and if thats not available then we have our parents and their cars.
Once everyone arrives at the locations at the designated times, we will prepare the location for what we want to shoot that being clear anything out the way, move things into the shot, collect props and what not. Then we get onto the filming as soon as we can, we will make sure that everything is suited and looks good preparing the camera to be in focus and the quality is good enough for us to film and get good shots.
Camera Work
Non of the shots we want to perform are especially tasking or hard to perform, other than that of the crane shot that will be the opening of our film. We have decided that as a group we will try and get the chance to practice this before the day of filming to make sure that we know how to correctly perform it and make sure the shot looks good. Here's an example of what we want to achieve:
The Crew
Before we even get on set we need to establish our roles and responsibilities within the group so theres no confusion with who is doing what and where they're meant to be. So we decided on these roles for the group.
Director - Charlotte Billingham
Camera Work - Jack Parkes
Camera Work - Jack Parkes
Sound and Foley - Tom Bentley
Framing, Costume and Props - Lucy Smith
Having these roles in the production, makes sure that no one feels left out in doing anything due to the amount of work that has to be put in to achieve what we want to do.
