Shooting Schedule

We are mostly filming around Kent, and have decided to film everything over a two day period. We have planned the order we are going to film as the lighting conditions change throughout the day, and we require different conditions to clarify emotions.

Setting. Characteristic of setting include the domestic, anti-romantic, empirical and secular contemporary world, frequently set in middle, lower-middle and working class settings, urban or suburban, and with an emphasis on leisure activities rather than work settings. Does this general description fit our media? Could we produce a 'soap' about the Aristocracy?

During our half term, Rebecca and myself have chosen the 17th, 18th and 19th of February to shoot. The story boards/action plan we have created should set us up for an easy day of filming. All our locations are designated within a 20 mile radius of Wilmington.

Swanley Park, New Barn Road, Kent-
We are planning shots of Tom and Rebecca who are also an off-screen couple, so the chemistry isn't artificial. He is unable to afford the nice dates and wouldn't be able to conduct himself accordingly, consequently there in a public park. Weather is looking promising, which will set a nice backdrop for their love scene.

Swanley train station -
Is a good destination since its a busy station were there will be regular commuters who will play as extras in our trailer. Were heading to start filming around rush hour about 5pm-onwards. The other commuters should make our trailer realistic, and highlight Rebeccas character as she almost swallowed up within the commotion.
We are also planning to use Rebeccas father as he is a licenced black taxi driver, as an extra at the end of the trailer.

The Rising Sun Inn & Inglenook restaurant, Fawkham green, Kent-
During the weekends I have shifts in the Inglenook restaurant which seats forty people and combined with a bar, provides a relaxing ambiance. Ideal for Rebecca and Simons' dates, the popular country location, which Simon arranged means he is away from being noticed.
Although lighting may be an issue as the restaurant is very dark, perhaps we need to discuss extra light equipment.
Whilst we were filming, My manager inquired into what the plot was and kindly allowed us to film in one of the rooms. This impromptue decision meant we had to think quickly about how Simon or Rebecca could insinuate physical attration, since its necessary for the plot. We also think the shot is effective because of the scene where Rebecca and Tom kiss in the park shows a physical relationship between the two, therefore the scenes with Simon are comparable.


West Kingsdown- My house
We are going to use my bathroom as its cluttered and a typical bathroom, it is also decorated accordingly plain and white, it creates the atmosphere we intended to make, whilst emphasising Rebecca and her facial expressions.


POSSIBLY
Dartford, Princes Road -
Situated underground of the round-about, its used by the public to walk from one side to the other without disturbing traffic since its a busy round-about. This subterranean walk will be used in as straight cuts, to help make the story but break the focus.

Whilst shooting is in progress, I am going to refer back to the brief and focus on the auxiliary tasks, the poster and magazine cover.
