We decided to film our film within the schools premises. We searched round the school to find appropriate locations which had good natural lighting. We have 6 different locations both inside and out.
TECHNICAL RECCE:
To prepare filming there are a few problems which could affect our filming during production. As we will be mostly be using natural light from the windows if weather forecasts predict bad storms it could make lighting more darker ruining the mood of the film. Another problematic situation is if the camera malfunctions and we are incapable of filming this could delay our timetable in which we use to plan out our shooting schedule.
As we are filming in the Science room there is a chance that the room could be booked or locked restricting our access to the Science room, or problems of people not part of the cast could come in causing chaos on set. Also as myself and the members in my group are from another school it was hard for us to film and to keep up with filming and editing.
During the stairs scene people could walk down the corridor student could come out of class and accidently come into shot going against continuity.
Risk assessment
Location - Stairway
One scene involves Gazza having to jump down the stairs whilst running, this could be dangerous as he could trip running down the stairs which could cause serious injury.
Corridor - Fire exits
In the event of a fire occurring during filming, the corridor we used for filiming had 2 fire exits and 3 fire extinguishers.
Science lab/classroom - Dangerous items
The classroom we used for filming was a science lab, before filming we made sure all fragile items were moved safely and we also got a science teacher to grant us permission to film in the room and made sure any danger chemicals were removed.
MISE - EN - SCENE DESCRIPTION:
Set Design/Location
The room is spacious and is a perfect school setting of a class room. It has 4 windows on one side of the room and stairs near by to create a quick exit.
Props
One light brown table and two red chairs opposite sides of the table. One black gun to show the tension.
Lighting
The main source of light will be the natural light coming from the many windows in the science room, we will be also using artificial lighting that is already provided to help make sure the audience can see everything that’s happening in the scene.
Character Movement
At the start of the filming ABDUL is walking into the school on his own texting . He then walks into the room and sits opposite to GAZZA at the table. After the two characters have spoken their dialogue, ABDUL shoots GAZZA in the leg then in the head, he then runs out and jumps down the stairs and gets away. We chose this character movement as it is straight to the point and has enough going on to show different shots.
Costume
ABDUL: Black suit, no make up, didn't need it.
GAZZA: Black suit
