Filming Day Schedule

We will be filming our opening sequence on the ............... In order for us to use our time effectively and wisely and for us to be efficient, we have produced a plan for the day we will film. This breaks down what needs to be done and tells us when we need to do it, it also allows us to be organised. 

8:30
 Brief to ensure that everyone knows what needs to be done and what we will be doing in the day and we have to come


9:00 
Make-up and costumes - the boy will be dressed In all black and the girls makeup will be done 


10:00
Run through - we will run through each scene so that everyone is confident in what they need to do 


11:00 
We will film the whole sequence every shot to make it easier for us when we edit. For example the first scene where the camera will pan across the polariods. The next shot is a close up of the mans hand so we will therefore run through the whole thing with a close up etc... 
14:00
 Lunch

2:45
Review shots (this is in case we decide we need to redo parts) 


3:30
carry on filming the different shots over again and make sure the shots run for the correct time. Also check any adjustments such as makeup and lighting. 


5:30 
Review shots and check that we have everything we needed and have not missed out anything. In order for us to be able to stick to this schedule, we will need the storyboard and shot list on hand at all times to ensure that we don't waste time filming things we don't need. We will also need to have a watch or a phone on hand so that we can be aware of the time.

Risk Assessment

When filming our opening sequence we need to make sure as a group that it is done safely as possible. In order for this to happen we need to be aware of what could happen, how it could effect our filming day and therefore how we could prevent this risk from happening.  

Firstly, there is going to be low level risks on our filming day which needed to be aware of. For example, there is going to be wires in the area which we film in, which we could potentially trip over and fall. To prevent this it is important that we make sure we are aware of our surroundings and what is around us. Also look to see where the wires have ben placed on the floor so that we can avoid them as much as possible. Another low risk could be due to that it is in a dark basement where there are low ceilings, one of us could bump into something due to the small sizes of the room. To make sure this doesn't happen we will make sure it doesn't get to cramped and we will space out making it easier to film and not get too crowed amongst us. 

However, there are also medium risks which are involved. This includes things like looking at the lights which could affect your eyes. Our eyes will not get damaged if we make sure that we do not look directly into the light when they are on. Also we will turn the all the lights off that we don't need when not using as they can get really hot and if we touch it, our fingers will burn. Another medium risk is handling with the knife which will be present when filming; this knife will be sharp so everyone involved will make sure to handle with it appropriately and hold it correctly so we do not end up with a cut, which could slow down our day. Lastly, as there is going to be prosthetic makeup involved on the girl it is important to ask her before if she is allergic to anything that is going to be put on her face and body. 

There are also a few high risks that could happen. One of these being that the equipment could break such as the lighting equipment and the camera equipment. To make sure this doesn't happen we will all handle this with great care so that we do not have to pay for anything that we have broken by accident. We will also hold it and put it all up sensibly and not in a rush to avoid breakage. When transporting everything from school to the location it could be stolen as we will be out of school. This is very severe so it is significant that everything is with us at all times and it is not left without us at all.

                                    THE END 

Effectiveness of Our Storyboard

A story board is a sequence of drawings, typically with some directions and dialogue, representing the shots planned for a film or television product. It enables the creators of the film to visualise the camera shots and story line that will eventually appear as a film on the screens

it allowed us to experiment and change certain aspects of our idea, for example – change the chronological order or the camera angles. From this we were able to organise our opening sequence into the right order.

            we used the website Storyboardthat.com in order to allow us to easily visualise what our opening sequence will look like as it has put it into a more realistic and real life perspective. This was hard as it took a long time and we had to think about the best way to illustrate and put our movie idea into a visual representation.

This process of visual thinking has allowed my group to brainstorm more ideas and play around with the film until we were completely happy with our final Thriller Idea.
