DAY 1 - FILMING SCHEDULE

With a hectic shot list planned for Day 1, as well as the use of various locations it was made clear to ATM that the shoot will take many hours. This meant that it was important for us to breakdown the entire day 1 shoot, and figure out what we wanted to film, where we wanted to film it, and what time of day we wanted to film a given scene.

I based the timings within the film schedule on the length of the storyboards, as well as intuition based on my experience of working on set, as well as filming my own projects, as I have learnt that filming does take a lot of time. I have also accounted for a few takes for each shot, as in most circumstances nearly every shot would have to be repeated to make sure that it is the best that it can be, and that everyone is happy with it. Additionally, filming outdoors in public spaces is quite difficult, however to add to this we are also presented with the challenge of filming a few days before Christmas, so extra time will need to be factored into the filming schedule. Transportation and travelling is also something I factored into the schedule, as this will also take up some time.

The film schedule accounts for all of these factors, coming to a predicted shoot of just over eleven hours, much like what large production value TV, Film and Music Video shoots are like. The film schedule document I put together can be seen embedded below, and below that is the plan I created to aid me with organising the shoot.
