Filming Preparation

We are planning on filming our footage during the half term as we think this will be the best time as at weekends some of has have jobs and its hard to get everyone together. We are filming at one of the girls in our group house as outside her house is quite quiet and the layout of her rooms are good for us to use. With knowing when we are going to film we have began planning a shedule of the day so we know what we ve got to do and i think it will also help us keep in time with eveything we have got to shoot. As well as the shedule we have made a prop list so our friend knows what we would like her to bring in and also lets us check that we have everything we need.





These lists will help us keep organised and our storyboards that we have produced will help us rememeber what we have to shoot and roughly for how long. Even though we are using our storyboards as a guidline of what we need to do we know from previous filming that our ideas may change slightly from the orginal storyboard ideas as sometimes shots may look better a different way on the camera than what we originally imagined. When filming we are going to make sure that we have enough different shots, angles and versions so we have enough to chose from when editing and also it is hard for everyone to be free again for filming so we want to get the majority done on the day. We are going to use the flip cameras as we think they are easy to use and to put in different angles as they are quite small and also the quality is quite good. For our prelimiary taks we used different cameras but have decided to go for the flip cams as we have seen other groups use them in our class and we think that the quality of the shots are better. We are going to use tripods for the camera so we can keep are filming steady causing no wobbles and to help with things like zooming in and out in shots.
