Planning We started off by discussing ideas for our two

minute opening sequence for a film. Firstly as a group we had decided to agree on what genre we wanted to use.

The options were: Horror Action Thriller

Decision We Decided to go with an action genre since it

was the most interesting genre to do

Roles in the group Director- Ifaz Chowdhury Cameraman- Conor Daly Editor- Barry Turi

Production schedule We had assigned different sections of the

production schedule to our group Ifaz was responsible to finish the schedule in

his own time.

Filming As a group we had decided that the best time

to film our production would be during the October half term.

We did this because it had suited all of us including the actors.

Location We will be filming at Barry’s house because it

was local for our actors to film.

Production schedule Completion of various tasks on our production

schedule such as the: Narrative structure Actor release form Pre Questionnaires

Deadline The deadline has been extended therefore we

no longer need to film during the October break.

As a group we decided to film later which allows us to focus on the final details in the prodcut.

Actors We are certain of who will take part in our

production, we need to inform them of the roles that they will be plying also we need to let them know the deadline for our project so they can free their timetable for our film.

Half term Since we had cancel filming during the October

break we had decide to focus on our coursework and focus on our production making sure every detail is perfect.

Letters of permission The letters of permission for our actors parents

have been produced, so now we have to distribute it to the parents. This will allow us to continue the process for our filming production

Production Schedule The production schedule has been adjusted in

terms of dates and so now our work is much more organised.

This allows us to give more time to our film so it can be s perfect as possible.

Location The decision on the location for our film has

now been settled. We have asked permission from the house

owner and have been confirmed access to it, so it is ready for use.

Filming Practice In preparation for filming we have agreed to

organise a rehearsal with our actors during December .

We will most likely rehearse during the Christmas holidays.

Budget As a group we need to discuss the budget

because we all have to contribute to the money we need to spend.

Therefore, we need to discuss about how much we are we are going spend on our production and what we are going to spend it on.


27/11/15

Confirmation We have confirmed the rehearsal dates with

our actors over the Christmas holidays so this allows us to be prepared for filming during the January period.

Location is ready for use.

Costume As a team we need to discuss whether our

actors will be using their costume or if we have to provide it for them.

If we end up providing our actors with a costume, we need to discuss how much we are willing to spend as a group.

Filming Schedule On Saturday 16th January, we have planned to

film at 12pm until 3pm at our confirmed location. Our actors have been informed about the filming date and where to meet.

Depending on how much filming we can get done on Saturday, we may have to film on another Saturday so we can complete it.

Camera equipment Luckily for our group Barry has his own camera and

the other equipment which had saved a lot of time when it came to filming since the equipment will be already sorted out.

The equipments we used were the: nikon D3300 Battery for camera Tri-pod SD card


20/01/16

Filming For our filming, we went to our location and

filmed our production. Filming went well but it didn’t turn out perfect due to minor mistakes such as the timing of shots and that there was not enough variety of shots.

However we were not able to completely finish the filming as we didn’t have enough time. We are planning to film again and also re-do the shots.

Planning Barry and I looked back over our work and we

had wrote down the things that need to be adjusted, added or taken out.

This list will be reviewed as we film next time so we can make sure everything turns out to be correct.


27/01/16

Filming update We are filming again on Saturday 5th February

which me and the group have decided to do as well as the actors.

We are re-filming specific parts such as the shoot out between the two gangs.


3/02/16

Filming Progress We have completed filming everything, we had

faced a few problems with the production such as the actors not being available for filming. This problem was overcome due to replacing the actors.

Editing Most of the Editing is almost completed, barry

(Editor) is in the process of finishing the film, he just needs to add in a few sounds and it will be complete
