Children's Film: Filming Time Use

Today we have discussed in our group how we will use props and costumes in advance of filming. This will help us get to work quickly and to use our time effectively to film everything we need.

Day 1: In the media studies corridor and outside, behind C-block.
On day one we will focus on filming the chase/ superhero scene. This is because it will be the hardest part to film and will take the most amount of time. It also means we will only have to bring the costumes in at least one day (unless we don't finish filming that part). We will need to bring in bright clothes and a face mask for the superhero and dark clothes and a face mask for the bad-guy. On top of this we will buy an apple and a burger from the school canteen.

Day 2: In the C-block corridor
On day two we will finish up and bits we had not finished from the superhero scene. Unfortunately, if we do not get it finished on the first day we will have to bring the costumes and props in for another day. After this we will focus on the classroom and corridor scenes. We will not need as many props for this scene, but we will need an apple and a bag for the 'school kid' to hold to make him look like a student. We will also give him some big glasses to make him look like a stereotypical school nerd.


Day 3: C-block corridor and media classroom
On day three of filming we will finish up any scenes that have not yet been completed in the class room and corridor scenes. This will involve bring in the props like we had to in the previous days. however, our superhero scene should be complete by then and so the costumes for that would not be necessary. Once we finish on that day we will start capturing our video from the video and editing the video in final cut express.
