Post Production Schedule Timeline

As its coming close to the deadline, as a group we have decided to create a schedule to make sure that the film gets completed on time. 

We have each made our own individual ones too.

Shot and Action Schedule for Reshoots

Making sure that the Reshoot day runs effectively as possible I have created a Shot and Action schedule to refer back to to make sure we are keeping on track. The storyboards are also very vital to bring to the shooting.

Re Shoot

We are planning to reshoot Thursday the 17th of February 2012.

There is a story board of what we will be reshooting.

It will take place at my house in the same bathroom to continue contunity.

The Story Board:

My bathroom

Title sequence

Foley

Action plan to create foley:
We have the options of recording our own foley or getting sound effects off of the internet.
The foley that we will need includes:
-Smashing of the mirror
-The tap running
-Walking away of girl in heels
-Footsteps towards mirror
-Scissors snipping the hair
-Drip throughout the second scene
-Rustling of clothing
-Plastic bag rustling

From filming we already have:
-Smashing of the mirror

-Swinging of gate

Permission For Reshoot

As part of planning we have to get permission to film in the locations we have chosen.

I have been given verbal permission by the owner of the bathroom to be able to shoot in it providing that we do no damage or stain any other the counters ect. Permission agreement given by Carole Veal on the 17th February 2012. Any damaged equipment must be replaced.

Group Meeting - 06/2/12

We plan to meet at 12.15 in the  media room to discuss title sequence as a group.

Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment for A Suspense Productions:

Risk assessments are needed to ensure the safety of the filming crew at all times. If we do not perform risk assessments then we are leaving room for error and even danger. People must be aware of the things that could go wrong so that we have time to correct it before production begins.

Katie's House Location (House Bathroom)

Hazards:	No smashing of items. Making sure bathroom is not over crowded	Risk Assessment: low
	Do not let the electrical goods get damaged. Make sure all wires and electrical equipment are kept far away from any water substances or wet places in the bathroom otherwise this will have bad consequences which could mean imperative equipment could stop working, which will need to be replaced at a big expense. May result in tripping or electric shocks.	High
	To reduce damage to cameras make sure they are put back into their cases whenever not in use, also with the lense cases placed back onto the lense.	Moderate
	Make sure cameras are fully charged to prevent the risk of the battery dying and not being able to film all day.	Moderate
	Make sure we let the camera roll for at least 5 seconds when trying to record so that the risk of jumpy cuts during editing is not a problem.	Moderate
	No use of electrical products in the bathroom for example styling tools or chargers as water may get into the plugs which increases the chances of electric shocks.	High

Public Toilet Locaion:

Hazards	Make sure people are aware that we are filming inside the toilets to reduce the risk of interruptions during camera operation.	Risk Assessment: Low
	Make people aware of any counterfeit weapons we are using during filming to reduce public disruptions and even prevent wasting police time we can do sure by writing a letter of permission to the police.	High
	We must clean up any fake blood or mess that we make during filming in both toilets, out of respect. Someone may slip and fall.	Moderate
	Day light hours filming in public would safer then filming in the evening when it is dark and isolated around Dartford area.	Low
	The public toilets in Dartford are known to be grim and dirty so washing hands if people have touched handles or chains would be preferred to reduce the risk of spreading any germs on the camera which could spread to the next person using it.	Low

The aim of carrying out this risk assessments is to reduce the risk of things going wrong so that filming may be completed smoothly and efficiently.

Animatic Storyboard

Here is a link to our animatic:

The storyboard has helped our group because it has shown us what our film will look like, what shot it where and how long the shots will be and if this looks ok.

Call Sheet

Production Schedule

Storyboard Animatic

We have created a storyboard animatic so that it gives us a clearer idea of how our film will look.

Titles Map:

To make sure that our filming goes productively we need to ensure we know exactly what we are doing. This is why we made a titles map which will show us how many seconds we need to film each shot for, where the shots will be edited to and to see how smoothly our story-line runs.

This is our Titles Map:

Vox Pops: Audience Expectations of a Thriller.

Tomorrow I plan to interview people between the ages of 15 to 25 as that is the target audience of my group's thriller. I shall be filming my interviews tomorrow between 12.15 until 2.15 in order to get a varied sample of answers. I am aiming to interview at least 5 people for this. I will be posting the video after I have completed my task.

Communications: Actors.

In order to film our sequence we have to find some actors. I asked my friend Ben King to play the detective by text.

This is the exact conversation:

Katie: ''Ben, will you act in our media Thriller opening sequence? We're filming over the 14th and 15th of January. You'd be needed for two days, a rehearsal day and a shooting day?"

Ben: "What do you need me to do?"

Katie: "I need you to act as a detective, who has been shot. The locations are in West hill and Central Dartford."

Ben: "Sure, of course i will"

Katie:"Thank you! I will inform you when I find out the times"

Permission for locations:

As part of planning we have to get permission to film in the locations we have chosen.

I have been given verbal permission by the owner of the bathroom to be able to shoot in it providing that we do no damage or stain any other the counters ect. Permission agreement given by Carole Veal on the 11th January 2012. Any damaged equipment must be replaced.

This is the bathroom:

Test shots:

When planning our final Thriller opening we needed to get photo's of the actors we will be using. In the opening scene we are introduced to two of the main characters. Here are the photo's of the actors: 


Actor 1- Detective:

Actor 2- Psycho Girl:

I choose Actor 1 to play the detective as he looks very business-like in a suit which suits the character. The actor's name is Ben and he also has a lot of previous acting experience.

I chose Actor 2 to play psycho-girl because she has scary eyes and in our sequence there is a emphasis on the eyes. She looks rather old which is bonus because the characters are in there mid 20's. I know that Actor 1 who's name is Connie has lots of previous acting experience which is important when making our sequence look professional.

Reservoir Dogs: Script.

In order the to film the title sequence from Reservoir Dogs we needed to needed to plan out what was happening in every shot and the about of seconds the shot lasted. This task was hand written for practicality, we took it on the shoot with us in order to know which shot we were filming.
Whilst doing this we writing this we also figured out what the shot list was and what props were needed.
The actors provided some of the props as did connie.

Here is the script we made:
