Final Shot

We are shooting our last shot tomorrow (which is leaving a little late we know)
These are the photos of the new girl he is stalking:

We think this one is a little too close, not in a disturbing way, just in an unbelievable way

I really like this one because of the bush in the foreground it shows him hiding and i think it's a good distance

This one is also good as it's just simple, we will probably definitely use this one.

The shot will show one photo already up and he will put a new one up as well, but we haven't decided which ones yet

Pan Shot

Plan

• Pan starts half way across one photo (well this is where we will cut it for the start of the shot)
• Goes across 3/4 other photos which are all crossed out with red marker
• Comes to photo of Alix, crosses it out top left to bottom right, then top right to bottom left.
• The camera carries on panning to see just a photo of a girl walking a long the road/waiting for a bus.
• Then he puts a new photo up of this girl - doing something normal again, and he strokes the photo

Storyboards

Initial storyboarding of our first sequence:

Storyboard of new idea:



(Red arrows for camera movement and green arrows for character movement)


This storyboard was compiled during test shooting sessions at the exact location of our opening.

Another change of plan and a minor problem...

Now Alix is definitely acting in the opening sequence.

We decided that it's too short notice and unfair of us to ask Ciara to change her plans to suit us. And, since we weren't 100% sure we'd definitely be using Ciara anyway, it'd be even more unfair if we ended up not using her.

We also realised that although Lara had her own pair of white shoes, Alix doesn't have any... Alix might try to borrow Lara's, but they might be a bit too small. So, Angelie's bringing a pair of her white shoes to the shoot tomorrow to see if those will fit better.

Weather

A large problem of ours at the moment is the weather, these are the 2 local weather reports for Southgate/Palmers Green for this coming weekend.



Obviously the best day is Sunday as it has light showers and some patchy sunshine, however, if we leave it till Sunday and it does rain in the morning we would have to shoot our whole thing again so that all of our footage is in the rain - but we can't do this all in one day.
So instead we are going plan to shoot the second half of our footage on Saturday and if it rains then we will shoot our first half again instead. This is incase it rains on sunday - we will shoot the second half on sunday, and if it rains we use the first half in the rain, and if it doesn't then we use the first half which is shot in sunshine from the previous weekend.

- Does this make sense? It seems a little rambley

Thursday 29th November

During our meeting today after school we altered our shot list, there are still some gaps but we feel that it would be better to mark out the chase on a path in the woods and then just shoot her running and stumbling from many different angles over and over to fill in the gaps between our main events.
