Filming preparation

As we have now completed our planning stage of our trailer, film poster and magazine front cover, it was time for us to begin filming for our trailer. Before we could begin, we needed to arrange a date and ensure that everyone was available for it. In order to do this we decided to originally send round a group text to everyone:

Above is a screen shot image of the text that we sent round to everyone involved in the filming of our trailer. In the text we included information on the date we wanted to start film which was 2nd December, how long we would be filming for and what they needed to bring with them.

Unfortunately, on the day of filming due to extreme weather conditions we were forced to cancel our original date for filming. Once most of the snow had cleared up and it was safe for us to travel, we decided to schedule another date for filming. Instead of sending a group text, we decided that a better way to communicate with the group wold be through a thread (email) on the extremely popular social networking site, Facebook:

We decided on sending an email round because it allowed us to have a group discussion on when everyone was free. We then decided that 7th December after school was the best date for everyone.

The plan is to leave school at 3:30 and meet at White Hill, this is where we will film the first part of the trailer in the car. After this we will then move to Caterham Valley where the house is located. We will continue filming the rest of the scenes and then finish this with the woods scene which is opposite the house. It is crucial that we film all of the shots that we need in one go, this is so the continuity of the trailer is acceptable.
