Research and Planning: Actress Situation

Jade was not available when we needed her, so we changed our actress to Holly Rankin. Holly also suits the character and has a sweet, caring look.

Research and Planning: Current Filming Status

We are currently going to be filming this Saturday as it is very good weather:

Research and Planning: Alternative Idea

We have been thinking of an alternative idea as our current idea may not work out due to weather and actress availability. We were thinking of doing it in a studio with projections on the back screen/wall in some shots. I got this idea from Rihanna's song - "We Found Love" ft. Calvin Harris. This is just an option that we will consider if we cannot film in Burnham Beeches.

Research and Planning: Shot Listing

We shot listed so that we were prepared for filming on the weekend. We shot listed where each shot would be filmed and at what time.

Research and Planning: Mad Max 2

In our lesson we had shots from a film clip called Mad Max 2 which we had to put in order. After we put them into chronological order, we watched the clip and we only had a couple of shots in the wrong place.

 

 

We then reflected on the process we went through to put them in order.

 

 

The class was then split into 2 groups, one group was going to work on expanding time and one would work on shrinking time. My group was working on expanding time, we decided we would do this by adding more shots, more detail to create tension. Below are some of the shots we decided that we would add into the clip. Also there are some notes in the reflection box above.
