Titles test and creation

As we couldn't arrange for the whole cast to be able to film last weekend we when out and filmed afew of the shots and angles so we could create and play around with titles over the video. By doing so we can save time in editiong process as we will have a good idea of what titles will look like.

Brief shooting plan and back-ups

As our media piece can be shot on multiple days and needs to be in multiple locations we have decided to split our shoot into to days and only bring the cast needed for that day as it will be easier to organize and be easier to control. As the weather may change we have also decided on an idea that was brought up earlier in the planning process which would be that the story doesn't have to be consecutive and can have a gap (possible time wipe or a quickly cut video sequence).
We also made 2 alternative/ Back-up plans if we couldn't do the second shoot for whatever reason.
1) We edit the starting sequence differently to include title of the film during the scene.
2) We use what footage we have as well and taking a couple of additional still photo's to make the scene we shot more of a prologue to a movie instead of the start of the main story line.

Railway Safety

After disusing the railway scene with my partner we decided that we should outline any issues with health and safety.
-We will have to have at least one member of the shoot days cast or crew watching for trains.
-We will organize someone to be always watching the cameraman's back so to avoid accident.
-We warn everyone before hand to be careful when crossing even if only a few people should need to.
-Myself and my partner will make sure that none of the people present cause a risk to themselves or other by acting immature.
-The cast and crew will also be reminded not to walk on the tracks unless crossing at the crossing point.
-We have made sure there will always be someone who isn't needed to shoot to watch for trains.

Story Boards

Rail way scouting

After further developing our story the new location that we had chosen was either side of a railway crossing. So we went to take pictures and note down good angles for shots when we come to film. While we were there a train passed, so before we film we may have to see what times trains pass by so we can time our shots around that.

Survey

A while ago I made the small questionnaire to the side and asked afew  people on their opinions but after collecting the questionnaires and reading tho there were only a few which we could properly use as alot of the immature people had written inappropriate comments which were un-usable but after handing a few more out and making sure people answered correctly we were able to analyse a few. We were also able to tell from some of the answers that people wanted to see action as well as a little bit of relatable romance.

update

After finishing are Casting list and getting all bar one location photographed we are also able to shoot.
before we do so though we still have some audience and target infomation to upload and anaylse aswell as prop and costumes to sort out.
