Filming Schedule

Filming Schedule

As we haven’t been very organised in our filming, we decided we would put together a filming schedule in order to make sure we get everything we need done, and to make sure we get it done with enough time to re-film if we need to. We thought by actually making a schedule, it would make us more determined and motivated to work through the Christmas holidays, and will allow us to visualise putting our film together. It is important to schedule the days of the shoots, to try and keep things going at the right pace and to make sure that everything is fitted into the day. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to film all of our scenes in one day due to our other commitments however we believe that even if we had the time, we would not have been able to do to the many different scenes and locations. Due to it being around Christmas time, the weather is very unpredictable and it also gets dark early, giving us a limited amount of actual filming time we can use, so we have put this schedule together to keep us on track.

Wednesday 20^th November – Fortunately, this is the one day a fortnight that all of our group members have a free period last, and no other commitments after school, meaning we were able to leave school early to film for a couple of hours before it got too dark.

Scenes 1 and 3

• 1.10 – Meet in the foyer and leave to go to Eve’s house
• 1.20 – Arrive at Eve’s house and have a pre-filming snack
• 1.40 – ­ Dress Christie in her costume – hair, make-up, costume
• 1.50– Leave to begin filming
• 1.55 -3.30 – Film the beginning of Christie’s running scenes

Wednesday 4^th December – Again this is the day in which we all have a free meaning we could leave before lunch, so we took the chance to do some more filming. Despite planning to film, we had not actually planned what we were going to film, so we left school and went to Christie’s house to film at a place called the Splash. When we arrived we realised we didn’t know what we were doing and didn’t want to waste time outside as it was freezing, so we decided to go back to Christie’s house and plan for next time so we could get going straight away without wasting any of the valuable time while it was still light.

Wednesday 18^th December  – As we were able to leave school early, we took the opportunity to do some more filming, and decided to try and finish Christie’s running scenes. We decided to do this at Ashtead Common rather than the Splash which is where we were before as it is more picturesque, and the location is better suited to our purpose. Lucky all of the locations we have chosen as situated close to one of our houses, giving us a base to start from allowing Christie, our protagonist to get ready to ensure she looks the same to keep the continuity.

Scenes 5 and 7

• 1.10 – Meet in the foyer and leave to go to Laura’s house
• 1.20– Arrive at Laura’s house and have a pre-filming snack
• 1.40– ­ Dress Christie in her costume – hair, make-up, costume
• 1.50 – Leave to begin filming
• 2.00-3.45 – Arrive at location and film the rest of Christie’s running scenes

Friday 20^th December – As this is our last day of school and the last day we have with Charlotte before she goes on holiday, we thought we better take the opportunity to film at her house. This will be the only opportunity we’ll have before coming back to school, and we are already over our deadline so we thought we needed to try and get the beginning of the antagonist scenes done while we can.

Scenes 2 and 4

• 1.10 – Meet in the foyer and leave to go to Laura’s house
• 1.20 – Arrive at Laura’s house and have a pre-filming snack
• 1.40 – ­ Dress Christie in her costume – hair, make-up, costume
• 1.50 ­­– 2.45 Film inside antagonist scenes and hostage abductee
• 2.45 ­­– 3.30 Film antagonist leaving house 

Saturday 21^st December – This is the first Saturday in the Christmas holidays and as we are already going to be together we thought we would take the opportunity to get some more filming done. Due to using Adam as the antagonist the day before, we decided to finish the following running scenes, with Christie, our protagonist returning home, in order to give Adam a break. After having filming this, we will have finished with all of our running scenes, and will only have the ending scene with both Adam and Christie to focus on.

Scenes 9 and 11

• 12.00 – Meet at Eve's house 
• 12.15 –­ Dress Christie in her costume – hair, make-up, costume
• 12.30 – Leave to go to location
• 12.40 – Arrive at location and set up equipment
• 12.45 – 2.00 Finish filming running scenes and return home

Friday 27^th December – This is the next free days in the holidays when all of us are available, excluding Charlotte. As the only scenes we have left are the last four, with our protagonist returning home and our antagonist inside the house, we have decided to do them both in the same day as they are in the same location, to finish them off, allowing us time to review them in case any need to be re-filmed.
