Construction - Preparing for the shoot

For the shooting we will need:

  • A HD camera

  • A tripod

  • A clapper board

  • Our shooting schedule

  • Props (according to what scene we are shooting)


We had to check the weather reports for when we were filming in the woods as we had to be sure we could get all the wood scenes filmed in one day in case we had bad weather.


We will all be responsible for the camera work and directing, we may just naturally select roles when we get to shooting. By sharing roles it will be easier and we will all know what is going on, by choosing roles this may upset group members, or leave people out of the 'loop'.

Shooting Schedule

Shooting Schedule
A shooting Schedule is very important as it lets all members of the group and all your actors and cast know where they need to be at what time. It lets people know if they need any props, what scenes they are doing. It's generally helpful for everybody, it's a great way to organise your team.

Animatic


A shooting schedule helps you to film as it shows you the order of the scenes and what is meant to be happening in the scenes. This animatic was produced using Final Draft Av. The animatic can be used for referencing in both filming and editing stages.

StoryBoard


This storyboard was produced using Prezi. By having a storyboard you can see clearly how your narrative is going to pan out and how it will work out with the other scenes.

Props List

PROP LIST neck of the woods
All props are relatively easy to get hold of and really cheap to buy so we should be okay with getting them.
