Official Shooting Schedule

Original Brainstorm for Preliminary Task

Brainstorm:

What- the basis for the preliminary task that Mr Reid has given us would be to create a task that involves filming and editing one of our characters opening a door, going across a room and sitting opposite another person, they then need to have a conversation with each other. During this conversation the camera man needs to prioritize the 180 degrees shot and make sure he gets many of those between the two characters.

As long as we followed these basic guidelines we were allowed to do whatever we wanted with the genre and reasons in which they were having the conversation.

Idea- the idea that our group came up with was a comedy date between Kwame-Lola (Ben) and Diane.

How- we will be doing this by using Peniel’s camera to record the short film, gathering all of the actors at KFC and filming all of the shots then. Any additional shots that may need to be taken or re-done will be filmed on the following day.

When-ASAP

Who- the filming will be done by Jonathan and Peniel. The acting will be done by Ben, Taylor and any other additional characters that we may need.

Location scouting

Location scouting: The Task will take place in Waltham Cross KFC, this is the location that Jonathan has decided would be the best place to shoot the short film. They have given us permission to shoot in there so we will not be causing any trouble or unexpected problems for them. It will be at the back of KFC as we do not want to disturb their customer service area's.  

Shooting schedule

Shooting schedule: The shooting for our Preliminary Task will all take place on Wednesday 22^nd February. The group will meet up at around 5:30 pm, from there we will proceed and enter KFC, all scenes will be shot then.

Preliminary Task

Due to some miscommunication between our group and the teacher (Mr Reid) we mistakingly shot and filmed most of our main task during the christmas holidays when we in fact where supposed to shoot our preliminary task at that time. However after the christmas holidays in January when we found out about our mistake, we got together as a group and began to brainstorm on a new idea for our preliminary task. After our positions were assigned and the location, script and shooting schedule was completed we proceeded with filming.

The Preliminary Task was shot, edited and completed by the end of last week. We started and finished shooting on Wedsnesday 22nd Feburary 2012 (it didn't take long to film because of the fact that the task was supposed to be short). It was shot by me(Peniel), Dwayne and Jonathan. This was done at different times of the film because of the fact that me and Dwayne were slightly involved in the filming as actors. We then brought the film back into school with us on Thursday 23rd February and began editing then. We met up during our free time and asked Mr Ried if we could use the mac's for the editing, he allowed us to do so. The editing finished the following friday, this marked the end of the Preliminary Task.
