Progress Report - Part 3 (End of Pre-production)

Thomas Allison 0051

Our pre-production is now complete and we are now ready and able to film. We have hired out the equipment and bought a tape listing it to make sure and double check we have everything we need. We have organised times and set a plan for the locations we need so the states can open the rooms for us. To enable nothing goes wrong we have visited the rooms and completed detailed floor plans stating any doors, hazards, lights or PowerPoints. This will help us see any dangers and make sure we have room for the camera and where the actors will be running. One problem as occurred with actors and rooms. Firstly 2 of our actors had pulled out on us and we had to make some last minute changes but thankfully we planned to have some backups. As I write this blog this is the day before our filming and one of our actors has made plans that will occur after filming and so we have had to change the times for when we film her role to fit her schedule. Thankfully the other actor is flexible and can work around our new times. Our other problem involves lighting levels and college opening times. We need the college to be fairly dark and quite in order for our trailer to have the right effect for our diegesis. We have had a few concerns about getting permission at the times we need the college but all seems to be sorted and arranged now. Our props are gathered and We have briefed our actors so the next stage is filming.
