Production Schedule & Production notes

Production Diary

4th April - Edwins house


Today i commenced filming at first location, this being edwins house which is one of my actors and characters.
We filmed a bunch of shots that showed edwin getting up in the morning and getting ready for school. I enlisted he help of a fellow indie film maker - johnny bailey, which was very helpful.
Overall the filming went very well with only a few minor problems such as a dog that wanted to eat the tripod and a mum who wanted to be in the movie. I also learnt that starring edwin was a bad choice because he isn't a very good actor.


Production notes for this shoot

5th April - Outside scene

This was a waste of time. Firstly i was very rushed which is never very good. and to top it off, as soon as i started shooting it tipped it down. causing much distress with the female actor and her "hair". Luckily i was underneath a umbrella with the camera by this point recording everyone running around like headless chickens. I am not planning of using any of these shots as they are bad. 

I put together a bried video to show these shots.





This is the production notes of the outside scene, on same page as some more notes about the first shoot.


Edwin House 2 - Outside Scene


8th April - Anna's House

After some waiting on if i would be shooting on this day or not it was decided that i was. i gained access to annas house for some filming after school on a monday. It went very well as they was no one to cause any problems or hinder my progress with the filming. The shooting was fine though they was two problems, the light was a bit wierd and the battery ran out on one of the cameras.

29th April - Lockers

This shot was very fun. I got all the actors together after school one afternoon. the jock character was being a bit of a pain because he wanted to go homee. but we got through all the shots quickly and well. the battery ran out on one of the cameras though near the end of the shoot.

5th May - Ilkley

Today i quickly needed to do a few shots just to add into my opening to link the waking up scenes to the in school scenes while adding a few titles. i did them pretty well and pretty quickly and in the time i had i am very happy with the shots. 


Due to time problems and the fact that these shots were last minute i have not got a production log for these shots.
