Monday: Test Shoot

Monday is our first day to test out all our possible shots so we need to make sure everything is organised in advanced. We need to screen test myself, Holly and Laura, to see who would be best as the role of the girl. As we plan on using our dads as the killers, and they will have work on Monday, we will fill in for them and purely test out the different types of shots we will use.
Other things that need to be done before Monday is the first draft of the script (it can be perfected after this as adjustments may need to be made.) We will need to make a test shooting script, as well as think about sound, if we decide to have sound in the shots. Consider lighting in our locations and if we will need artificial light or not, and if so what lighting will we use? We need to make a detailed list of props and costume that we will need, and check if we have theseor not. It is not essential that we do for our test shooting but it will give us a clearer idea.

Generally our test shoot is a time to test out any possible shot type or angle, and get a feel for how the whole piece will look. We should experiment to find out what works and what doesn't but also be very critical, as this is a time for learning and analysing. But most importanatly we need to have fun ( be quick and professional or course but have fun.) This is after all a learning experience but that doesn't mean we shouldn't enjoy it.

So now we need to start some in depth planning to make sure we are prepared
Can't wait :)
