Pre-Production

Moving Image and Chicago Town

Knowing that it would soon be our last day of filming I knew it was imperative we were prepared therefore I asked the guys to meet up to go through some of my ideas and incorporate everyone else’s so we were all clear on the plan of action.

Moritz and I met up in the afternoon to go over our third scene, whilst enjoying a nice Chicago Town pizza. We discussed scripting, location and shots. I wrote down some rough notes and later on typed them up. 

The main aim of today was to secure the location for the third scene. K-bar is ideal; I talked to the supervisor and am waiting on an email from the manager to give us the go ahead.

I have also come up with a back-up scene if K-bar doesn't go as planned, which I ran past Moritz and Stephen who liked it.

After K-Bar Moritz and I looked at the edit Moritz did of the first scene, which was really good. We edited the second scene and changed a few things on the first. At the moment it looks good but is a bit long and hasn't got any overlays.

We met up with Stephen, showed him the edit and discussed the third scene and the back-up scene. He came with me when I followed up the K-bar supervisor a few hours later with no new news and when I talked to a few friends about being extras in the back-up scene. 

For the back-up scene we will probably use my kitchen, which is easily accessible. Thankfully my kitchen isn't in the first scene because we want it to look as if he is going into a friends’ house and so continuity may have been a problem.

It will be a bit tidier when we shoot of course, although it will add to the 'studenty' vibe.
