Story Board and Filming Schudele

Issues Raised:

We found filming to be challenging when we first started planning it out as it became apparent that not all of the actors and group could make it on those days at the times allocated, and, therefore, we postponed  the filming until the week after on Tuesday the 29th when everyone was available.  Within the group we decided it would be better if we did the chase within the evening when it was darker to create more mystery and enigma around the characters as the audience has not yet developed and understanding, however, when filming at a later time we discovered some issues regarding lighting as with the camera we used did not have great lighting and, therefore, the picture would not show, we attempted to resolve this issue by using torches and spotlights to provide light and direct the focus when filming.

Furthermore, we had some issues with the location as I arrived late as I got lost and could not find Jess’ house where we were filming Jamie (Jess)’s wake up scene and routine where she would discover she is wanted. As we wanted to minimise the amount of time it takes to film, Beth and Jess began to film her morning routine at 1pm and shortly after completing this, Ashleigh arrived which allowed us to complete the scene including her news broadcast.

We then had to wait until Laurence was available to film after work, he brought along his costume with him; smart shoes, a shirt and sunglasses. These all reflect mystery and professionally which we want Hunter (Laurence) to reflect making him appeal to both genders within the audience as men would aspire to be him and women would find attraction towards him.

Unfortunately, we hadn’t filmed Hunter’s (Laurence’s) scene of getting up and his profession revealed when picking up the phone, this scene shows the contrast between Jamie and Hunters lives and how the news broadcast impacts both of their lives. Jess and Laurence were meeting up during the week and exclaimed that they would be able to film it then and then call me for any reassurance and checking that needs to be done.
