Filming Schedule

We have designated two days to the filming of our video, although we may need to find time a few weeks afterwards to re-shoot certain parts if we decide we have not captured footage which meets our high standards. 

Monday 27th October: We have planned for this to be the day that we take various establishing shots and to organise our props within the forest. We won't be filming any of the shots which contain our actor on this day, as he has already said he is unlikely to be able to make it. It will also give us a good chance to test out the lighting rig and ensure that there are no modifications which will need to be made before the bulk of the shooting begins. We plan to begin filming at about 3pm and to finish at about 8pm, as this will give us time to get a good collection of both day and night shots, and to experiment with the lighting rig.

Thursday 30th October:  This is the day where the bulk of the filming will take place, as our actor is available for the whole day. We plan to begin shooting at around 12pm and to finish in the early hours of the morning, as we need to record a lot of footage, and to ensure that we do each shot multiple (4 or 5) times to make sure that we have the largest possible amount of footage to make the finished product from. By creating our lighting rig, we will be able to continue filming in the night, which will work to our advantage as it will show a noticeable difference between the beginning and the end of our video. 

Monday 3rd November: On this day we will begin editing at my house, using Final Cut Pro X in order to add special effects to the shots before we take them into school to string them together using Final Cut Express.

4th November-30th November: Most days during this period will be spent editing the video, with a lengthy editing process being required in order for us to make the finished product to the quality which it needs to be. After this we will be finished with the video part of the coursework meaning we will be able to focus on making a digipack and magazine advert which are of similar quality.
