Initially we decided to shoot in our free periods in school time as we are all together but this was an issue as Georgia has school as she is younger than us and lives around 45 minutes away and also we didn’t have similar frees altogether. When we planned this the props were not ready and thought through properly. We planned to film the whole thriller beginning in these free lessons but as we discussed this we realised that this was very unrealistic as it is too much to film in single hours. Also we would not have had time to get to our location, film and get back to school in time for our lessons as the location is 40 minutes’ walk away.
As a group we planned to film Sunday 20th March 2011 at 9am. We planned to film the whole of the thriller in one day. We found out that we cannot all film that day as Mary Sullivan, Rachel Wardley and Charlotte Mackenzie all have work on that Sunday at 9am, also Georgia Fresco has an audition for the Olympic children’s choir that day at 2pm which means she cannot make it either.
The next time that we have planned to film to shoot is Saturday 19th March 2011 at 6pm as Mary, Rachel and Charlotte finish work at 5pm, so we can all be at the location by 6pm. We are hoping to film as much as possible with all the props and scenes that we have planned earlier. If we do not get everything filmed in that one day then we are going to organise the next time we meet up that day. We all have allocated jobs to do. Rachel is doing a health and safety risk assessment on the area we are filming to make sure it is safe for us all to go in and film. We are all asking for permission from the owner of the land where our location is set. This is a diary of what we are going to do when filming:
6pm – Arrive and set up for our first scene on the road side.
7pm – Moving to our second location for the middle part of our thriller
8pm – Moving to our third location and filming the last part
9pm – Finish
