Planning and filming

We should be finished all the planning before the Christmas term and hopefully start filming in January, we have planned a trip to Primark to buy all the clothes needed for our actors/actresses. The reason we have chosen Primark is because it is cheap, we can get more for our money and we only need them for a short time. Me and Dan have agreed to let the actors/actresses to keep the clothes if they wish, since we wont have any need for them any more.

Cast and Crew list

Even though we still need to find actors/actresses for majority of the parts, we know what parts people will be playing and what people will be doing for camera work and other behind the scenes etc.

Maisie Mae ( we possible need two actresses to play her)
Eugene (again we need two if possible)

Friends of Maisie (between three and six actors)

Jocks(four to six actors)

Bullies(again between three and six)

Extras, these are not important and not essential to our filming, but if we can get enough actors then we can use them, however if we can't find enough actors then it doesn't matter.

The extras would include:
Cheerleaders
Goths
Boyfriends and Girlfriends

Here is a list of crew members:

2 x Cameramen - Me and Dan
Lighting - Tara Tilly
Hair Stylist - Kayley-Jayne Hughes
Make up artists - Kayley-Jane Hughes
Editors - Me and Dan

Tara and Kayley are friends of the group, but don't go to our school. however they have volunteered to help our group. 

issues with filming

After Christmas, Dan is awaiting an appoint to have an operation on his knee, We will have to get majority of the filming done by then, however soon after Christmas I am expected to get a car, so if Dan has an operation then I can take him to where we need to go.

Location Scout

Like I mentioned in my last post, me and Dan went round our school and public library to find see the best places for our filming here are a couple of pictures to show the where we went.

Here are different shots of the Library.

Permission and location scout

Yesterday me and Dan spent about an hour around our school and Library searching for ideal locations for our music video. We also had to get permission from our headteacher and the library to use their premises for filming. Mr Lord, our headteacher instantly said yes and agreed for us to do it. The library said yes, however since it is a public place we have to sign a contract to show that we can use the library for filming, as soon as they get hold of the contract and get it signed, we can go in and film.



Here is a photo I took of Dan and our head teacher Mr Lord to show that he has agreed for us to use the school premises.
