Planning: Practising with the Camera

For our opening scene we are going to be recording with a  Sony mc2000e. In order to experiment with focus pulls, zooming and different shots and movments, we practised with the camera.

Planning: Filming Schedule

A filming schedule is a plan of what dates/times and locations your cast and crew will be doing the filming part of the production in addition to how many scenes or shots you're aiming to shoot in the time frame you have set. It is also important to make note of what cast member are needed for different scenes and what crew is required for each day which ensures that everybody knows when and where they are needed.
This will make the filming process a lot easier for us as we will have set an organised plan of what we need to achieve each day of filming so we are using the time we have efficiently.

Planning: Mise-en-Scene

Mise-en-Scene is an important element within a film; it enables the audience to decipher the visual codes and create impressions on the characters based on their costume.

Here we have listed each characters costumes and our reasons behind them, as well as the props and equipment our group will need on the day:
