Week of November 30 - Planning Phase
As a team me and Callum will draft our first ideas on a piece of paper and decide on what our opening sequence will roughly be like. This is where we will define genre, sexuality, characters and the gender of people playing them and the nationality of the characters.
As well as this, we will also decide on our locations that we will be filming in. We are planning on filming in the grounds of the church in our town and we will then use the medical room in our school as a location for the hospital scene we need to film.
Once we finalise our plans, we will draw up a story board which clearly conveys the pivotal moments of the sequence.
Week of December 7 - Planning Phase
We will draw up a more detailed storyboard of the sequence accompanied with a script. This will make the shooting process very easy.
During this phase we will also make our own production logo for 'No Chill Studios' that will be used at the beginning of the video.
Week of December 14 - Shooting Phase
We will finalise all plans such as the storyboard and the script before going out to shoot the film on location at St. Editha's Church within the town centre. We will make sure we get multiple different takes of each shot to ensure we get the correct footage.
We will film - Owen, Joe, Callum and Ryan.
We will film the full opening sequence in this one day as we know exactly what we need to do to achieve our goal which is clear in our minds. This is due to the extensive planning that we put into our film and a clear, achievable goal that is within reach of our budget (£0) and expertise.
The angles we will film will be:
-Over the shoulder shots
-An establishing shot
-Medium shot
-Handheld shot
-Tracking shot
-180 fast pan
-Focus pull
-Low angle
We need a prop to represent a gun as well as a 'data cell'.
The equipment needed will be a HD camera and a handheld camera stabilizer. As well as this we will need a 'dolly' to achieve realistic and professional looking tracking shots. We'll also need advanced editing software to produce the final product post recording. We plan on using Adobe Premiere Pro on the MACs at school as it is a professional editing software that we've both had previous experience with.
Health and Safety
There are only a couple health and safety issues that could occur within the filming of our opening sequence. Due to a large proportion of this film being a chase scene, one of the actors could injure themselves or possibly other people. This could cause either minor, or major, injury which would slow down the production time and potentially damage the quality of the final product. Also, because we use the school's medical room there could be dangerous and sharp items, as well as chemicals, in there that could hurt us, to solve this issue we will remove as many 'dangerous' items as possible prior to filming to minimalise the risk of injury.
Permissions
We only needed permission to film in the school medical room, however we have no physical evidence as we were only given verbal permission. Without permission however, we couldn't actually enter the room so filming there is permission in itself as without it, we wouldn't have been able to film there.
Week of December 21 - Post Production/Editing
Me and Callum will come together to edit the footage into our final product. This process will take up an entire day, if not more, to ensure our finished product is the best it possibly can be. We will bring everything together adding in our studio logo, music and non-diegetic sound to give the sequence more ambience and setting.
