Shooting Schedule

Shooting schedule


I have posted this because I want the reader to know what exactly our group will be doing when we start the filming process, and so that we know what we will be doing after a scene is finished, so we know where we are filming next.

A shooting schedule is information that everybody who is working on a film (mainly the dirctor) can use to see where certain actors, props, sets, etc are used, and how long each scene should last.


This is the shooting schedule that we will be following and will be keeping on time with.

Props List

Props List New
A prop list shows the use of objects in a film that an actor interacts with.

I have posted this because I want to show the reader what each of the props that our group are going to use in our film.

This is a list of the props that our group will use when we are filming.

Costume changes

I posted this because I want the reader to know what our teachers and students will look like, by the end result.

Our group doesn't need to worry about costume changes, as our film is set in a school enviroment so everyone in our film will already be in uniform.

Mr Jones will be in a smart suit, which he does not need to change. one Male teacher will be used in our film.

Miss Smith is in a smart suit also, which she does not need to change. One female teacher will be used in our film.

The children are wearing the exact same uniform, only some of the uniform will need to be a bit loose and personalized, while the other uniforms will be neat and tidy. We will be using 10 children (Boys and Girls). 5 will be brain washed children and the other children just as background pupils, going to and from classroom.

These are a few costumes that our characters will be wearing, they are from the Tv Series, Waterloo Road.

Mr Jones

We have looked at a few teachers, researched by ourselves and have asked others members in our media group, what teachers should look like. The overall results were;

Image 1 - Geography / History

Image 2 - Head-teacher / Senior Teacher

Image 3 - Drama.

We can identify that our headteacher (Mr Jones) can fit the describtion of picture two  becuase of this characters smart business clothes with his cufflinks showing and his top button done up. Picture 1 is a young teacher, stylish shirt, loose tie and shirt, showing that he is new to the job and is very relaxed. Where as picture 3 shows a older member of staff in a plain shirt and tie. We can also see the importance of each character because of the way they dress.

Miss Smith

We are going to cast our character, Miss Smith, in line with the photos above. We have researched the pictures from google and have found that common female teachers should wear;

Cut off blouse (simple colours - blue, red, pink and white)

Cut off High Jumper

Black trousers.

High Heeled shoes or stilettos.

Jack Costume

For the general costume for the students, we are going to use the standard GWPAHS uniform;

Jack  - White trainers (reason for detention), Black trousers, White collared shirt, tie and Spiky Hair.

Boys - Black trainers or Shoes, Black Trousers, White Collared Shirt and Tie.

Girls - Black shoes, Black trousers or Skirt and White blouse.

Animatic

I have posted this because I want to show the reader what our finished film will look like.

In animation and special effects work, the storyboarding stage may be followed by simplified mock-ups called "animatics" to give a better idea of how the scene will look and feel with motion and timing. At its simplest, an animatic is a series of still images edited together and displayed in sequence. More commonly, a rough dialogue and/or rough sound track is added to the sequence of still images (usually taken from a storyboard) to test whether the sound and images are working effectively together.
This allows the animators and directors to work out any screenplay, camera positioning, shot list and timing issues that may exist with the current storyboard. The storyboard and soundtrack are amended if necessary, and a new animatic may be created and reviewed with the director until the storyboard is perfected. Editing the film at the animatic stage can avoid animation of scenes that would be edited out of the film. Animation is usually an expensive process, so there should be a minimum of "deleted scenes" if the film is to be completed within budget. (Wikipedia)



This is our animatic, which is an animation of what our final film product will look like.

Location Research

I have posted this because I want to show the reader our set that our group is going to use when we are filming. We have wrote same peices of information on each picture which tells the reader what is going to be featured in each of the location pictures, and we want our film to look like it is in a school enviroment.

We have decided to film in Great Wyrley P.A. High School, because our film is set in a school and is about brainwashed students.

Here is a picture looking down the main corridor of GWPAHS. We our planning to use this corridor to track Miss Smith walking down and meeting Mr Jones. We are able to use several camera angles to produce a good edit.

This is our chosen location outside of Miss Smith's classroom where the two  brainwashed students obstruct the entrance to Miss Smith's classroom. 

Here is a picture of Miss Smiths proposed classroom, we have taken a photo from the corner of the classroom where the CCTV effect will be created. We have chosen this classroom as it is a good size and we are able to create the whiteboard opening titles effect along with the door and teachers desk being in a good place. The classroom is also near to the corridor above so it will be easier to film with  less jump cuts.

Here is a picture looking up the corridor, which we will use to film the running scene. We have chosen this location as we are able to position the cameras at many angles to show a fast paced running when editing. We can film from outside in through the windows and use both the top and bottom of the corridor.

Here we have added a picture of the location where we will filming the Head Teacher in his office, and also the place where Miss Smith gets dragged into the Head Teachers office. The camera will then go to black out and the door will  slam shut. We have chosen this office as it is along the corridor in which Miss Smith will be cornered into, with it also being very close to other shooting locations so the travelling between shoots will not take so long and easier to film.
