Hopes For The Day Of Filming. -Jack

As we all no the deadline is creeping up on us, so as a group we could really do with sitting down and setting a date, so we can therefore ask and organise for our actors and actresses to turn up, to gather all of the props together and to dress the location. There have been minor complications so far, for instance one of the girls (daisy) is in the latest stage of recovery from an operation, she has re-assured us she is going to be fine, but as a close friend I cant lie that i'm slightly worried about her. But we have to continue planning as though she is going to be there and then if she isn't have to find a somebody else. I have had words with a few other friends and Alex Lovatt has agreed to help us and stand in last minute if needs be which is a massive re-assurance to the group. 


Also the weather. Ideal weather for the shoot would be a cold but bright day, preferably no rain, but of course we can not control the great British weather. I like the idea of the girls maybe being in big coats, maybe fur or thick leather biker jackets with studs which probably would look right if the weather was hot (fat chance of it ever being hot). 
As myself and Emily have yet to go to see the location (we have seen pictures and video's so don't worry too much) we would be interested to see if a car could fit on the inside enabling us to light the room, so that it stays consistent for filming. We are all planning a few meetings before the actual shoot so the girls can see wardrobe looks I have pulled and to collectively look at what we have all done to hopefully decide on an amazing plan. We are still unsure wether we will be filming for more than one day so we are hoping if that happens that the weather stays as consistent as possible. We also think that making Trinny come before the other girls is essential as she will be in the majority of the shots and we dont want the other girls to have waisted their time. Even though on saying this i would like Hannah their to asist her wardrobe and makeup this presuming that myself Vic and Emily will be too busy sorting out the location. 
After talking to the teacher ablout weather apps and sun up and down times and how to add them onto the blog may seem helpful to indicate the weather times and how long we have to film in the day.

  1. Jack you can add a weather app to your blog which gives a 5 day forecast, that might minimise the negative impact on inclement weather.

    You'd also be well advised to find sun up and sun down times so you know when to start filming and how long you will have to film.

  2. I agree with Mr Smith's advice.

    Also you need to construct a shooting schedule for the day. This will work in conjunction with your storyboard.
    Your day needs to be planned as carefully as possible. You need to leave as little to chance as possible.
