Finally we have finished all of the rest of the planning and research now this post is just here to say that we are ready to begin filming and i will also be covering how to transport the equipment and actors to the filming location.
Booking equipment is also important to avoid issues with other filming groups so a member of our group booked out the necessary equipment for filming the sense 1, 2 and 3. If there are any problems because there are three groups but only two of everything then we may have to give up equipment sometimes to help them out.
Here is a screen shot of our booked out equipment:
Printing documents:
Script and shooting schedules have been printed off. The scripts have been handed out to the actors and the shooting schedules have been handed out to each of our crew members. We have also printed off spares just incase some are lost.
Transport:
Most of our crew and carters live fairly close to the filming location (my house) but there are one or two who live more than an hours walk so they will be picked up by either my parents or Cameron's parents. We will also be asking either mine or Cameron's parents again for lifts from school so that we don't have to carry the equipment to my house, although this isn't very far it is still a bit of a walk to carry equipment.
Practicing for different shots/effects:
We know that focusing is the main issue with our filming so we will have to borrow the camera's and practice some of the scenes before doing the main one so as to get the focusing sorted out. We will do this by getting our actors to practice the shots with the scripts but still act and this will allow us to practice with the focusing and the actors to get used to what they have to act like for the characters.
Crew roles:
For this we have each set ourselves roles for the filming process:
I will be handling the sound equipment like last year because i felt pretty confident on how it all works.
Cameron will be in charge of the camera making sure that the lighting is correct in the shot and which angle suits the shot best.
Deanna will be the director again, helping us stick to the schedule and making sure that everything is correct before we begin filming.
Charlotte helps with each of these aspects really but we may need her to tie control of lighting and reflectors and help Cameron out when he needs help lighting a scene (obviously he can't hold a reflector and film at the same time)
