!!!!!

Our new filming date will be on Wednesday 24th of February.

This is some practice footage of the drug deal; in all fairness the clip was bad and there is quite a few areas that we will need to improve for the actual sequence.

Planning for filming

-Props
-Costume
-Lighting (design /effect/equipment)
-Make up/hair
-List of equipment
-Times and dates you want to film and back up plan
-Locations (maps? permission? photos>)
-Actors (photos and suitability)
-Production roles - assign role to each member of the group:

• Camera person, director/s, producers, production co-ordination
• Provide definitions of each role and each persons suitability for that role - experience? skills?
  

Analysis of other title sequences.

In preparation of making our storyboard we looked at four title sequences "Carlito's Way' 'Don't look here' 'No country for old men' and 'Heat'. We looked at the shot types and use of non-diagetic and diagetic sound and decided how to implement this into our sequence. A voice-over or narration over the top was effective in 'Carlito's way' and 'No country for old men'. We also thought the way the actual titles in 'Heat' faded and distorted was effective. The use of point of view shots in Carlito's way gave a different perspective and gave a way of the audience engaging with the character

Feedback.

Feedback session.

• Where are we going to shoot it?
• Very good.
• Would be very tense with the chasing.
• A lot of opportunities during some shots such as the running, hands exchanging.
• Could be jump cuts.
• Leave plenty of time to edit.
  
• Use a lot of effects such as filters and dissolves.
• Maybe think of changing roles for the main character, Simon could be sympathized with a lot easier by the audience. Whereas Jack is tall and could be seen more powerful and intimidating.
  

As a result of this feedback we will make sure that as a group we are organized so we leave plenty of time at the end of the shooting to edit, and make things as good as they can be. So we can use filters and dissolves, and change things if needed. During this time we can also experiment using different effects and and sounds when editing. After thinking about the characters, we feel that Jack is better actor to play the role of the main character, we think this because Jack is not meant to be sympathized with by the audience because he looks vulnerable, because this character is not. But because this character is meant to miss home and his family and his life. This is why we think the characters should stay as they are, although this was a fair point made during the feedback session.

This feedback made us as a group think of how much time we were going to spend on filming, we suggested we have one night of filming when everyone is free so we have the rest of the time to edit. We also thought a lot more about the location of where we are going to film. We came to the conclusion that we will be filming at the grand arcade. This is because its an enclosed pace and there could be a lot of potential there to film. We have also thought a lot about the organization of the group and who is going to be doing what and timing.

Action Points
...By the start of filming we are going to have achieved.

1. To have all props ready to use. ( we will all get our own props and if someone has something some one else needs, we will discuss this.)
   
2. A definite location.
3. How long were going to have the camera.
4. What time we will meet and end, so we know what time to go and what time to be picked up.
5. To know who'd doing exactly what.
6. Story board.
7. Definite idea what we are going to do when we get to the location when we are beginning to film.
8. What shots we are filming and in what order.
   
9. What lighting we will need.
   
10. If we need any more actors, or help.
