Planning for filming!

So I thought I could do some planning to get ready for filming, we decided on 2 days for filming and we thoroughly discussed what scenes and shots we need to film at what times.

Our film is set in the morning, and in 'real time' it would only span across about 5 minutes, therefore the time of day needs to look like it hasn't changed at all - this is going to be extremely difficult because obviously filming each scene will take quite a long time. To solve this problem we thought about the lighting we are going to have in each shot - the only scenes that need natural lighting are when the dad is in the house waking up, when he's driving and when he is searching for the family in the 'fake' barn. The hostage shot wont use any natural lighting as we will be using halogen lights in the hostage shots as we believe this will create a certain atmosphere. So the hostage shots don't actually need to look like it's in the morning - therefore we will film these shots last as it wont matter if it's become slightly darker!


We will film the shots of the dad waking up and all shots in the house first thing when we film - as these definitely need natural light for these shots and it needs to look like it's in the morning.
We will then film the shots of the dad driving to where he thinks his family are being held hostage - as these also need to use natural lighting which looks like it's straight after being in the house!
Thirdly we will film the shots of the dad at the 'fake' barn where he thinks his family are, as once again these shots need to have natural lighting and needs to look about 2 minutes after the dad leaving the house.
Finally we will film the hostage clips, as like I said this does not require natural lighting therefore it doesn't matter if this is slightly later on in the day!!

I think this plan for filming will make it easier for us to film, and as we are so organised we will be able to inform our actors of this information once again meaning the filming process will go smoothly and with less mistakes and troubles.
