TIME'S UP Production Schedule + Planning

2nd December
Ella and I will start to begin planning for our opening scene. We will begin brainstorming ideas of how we wanted our film to be or look. We will look at other examples of films in different genres that we are interested in, we will think about the different representations we want to include in our opening scene. We will decide on our main actors who will portray the two main characters in our opening scene : Harriet and Louise. We will think about the storyline of our opening scene and how we are going to include an enigma within it which will draw an audience in. Also we will think about where we could film it to make it look realistic to the storyline.

Next we will begin storyboarding and constructing a script to show what would be said and done in our opening scene.


9th December
Ella and I will begin storyboarding for our opening scene, where we will decide what shots are crucial to note down and draw so it will make the production and filming of the scene easier and faster.

We will also ask to be shown how to create the titles for our opening scene so we can apply that knowledge for when we create our own titles.


18th December

Ella and I will begin filming for our opening scene: Time's Up. We will ask permission for a camera and a tripod in order to give our film a more professional and steady look. We will film upstairs at Amy's (Louise) house for the scene where Harriet wakes up and gets ready and downstairs in her kitchen to create the essence of a café.

Ella and I will take turns in being in control of the camera so we both understand how to film the best and take multiple shots in order to ensure we get the best shots possible for when we are editing.

We plan on getting the following shots:

• close ups
• medium shots
• an over-the-shoulder shot
• vertical tracking shot
• establishing shot
• horizontal tracking shot
• long shots

8th January
We will record the voiceover which we will use during the birds eye shot of Harriet writing in her diary. This will symbolise the end of our filming, we shall then upload all our footage onto a MAC and start to edit our footage to look like an opening scene.
