When/How are we going to shoot are scenes?

When creating a film, having set times and locations for shooting particular clips is very important. For organsiational purposes, as a group we have arranged what times we shall want particular times to be shot. Overall, there are 25 shots that we need to film in our opening scene (not including title shots). Filming shall start when we return to school after half term. We aim to film 5 shots a day, if all goes to plan, we shall start on Monday the 20th Feb and finish on Friday the 24th Feb. We are most likely going to film these shots during lesson time or between 5-6 o'clock after school, this way it will be a lot darker which will suit our opening scene; giving us the dramatic/actin effect we need. As there is very little dialogue in our scene a script is not going to be necessary, however we decided that we are going to film each shot multiple times in order to get it perfect. Then at the end of the week (and the week after if needed) we are going to go through the shots we filmed and pick out the best ones and then edit them together.

Whilst constructing our story board, we took the approach of using still shots (taken from a camera) instead of drawings. This helped us establish the location of each shot. The story board can be located further below my blog. All the locations we decided on are around the school, this makes it very easy for us to film. However we took a lot of time deciding where to do each shot as we want to make each shot look as if it is being filmed in an urban area. We did a trip round school and discussed which particular areas would should a particular clip. We came to a conclusion that the dust bins would be great for the parkour side to things; using stunts, variation and imagination to create a scene like the one from the opening scene shown in the video below.

 Also with the ability to get hold of a decent camera, hopefully this will make shots clearer and editing more easily. Sound effects shall be added whilst editing. Editing will take place on a Saturday and Sunday 25th/26th, if not then, we shall continue to edit on monday the 27th Feb. Hopefully our final piece shall turn out to be as good as we expect it to be.
