Planning: Organisation of group

Our group will stay organized by constantly having meetings about the work that needs to be gone. Also by appointing each member with a job to complete on the blog. The materials we have created will help keep us on track, we will have a fixed idea on what needs to be done and on what day. The calendar we created will help us meet our deadlines and also help us with where we will be filming and the costumes that we will use.

Prefilming and organization

Planning:Filming location

Planning: Filming Locations

Filming location is very important as it's an aspect that sets the scene (mis-en-scene). It creates an atmosphere in the scene that links to what the character is doing and saying. As well as creating atmosphere filming locations also enhance that atmosphere that the character is trying to portray. For example in a war scene; an open field with a huge amount of space would increase the atmosphere of battle as there is enough space to film many from each teams try to kill and destroy each other.
However in our thriller film we have chosen to use common locations that would make the film be more relatable; and seem as if the situation that the character is facing can be seen in reality to anyone around you according to where they are.

In one of our filming locations for our thriller film we will shoot a scene inside the bus. Our production team chose this particular location because we want the audience to feel what that character is feeling as know matter where she is; her pain is still there. Porsha is in the bus staring at an old family picture of her family at a time when they were all happy. Her being inside the bus portrays that the pain of what her family could have been is so deep; that she would even express it in a public place. She's in a bus yet she doesn't acknowledge her surrounding as she thinks of the past; hoping that her pain of yesterday won't affect her tomorrow. She's on her way to a foster home where she hopes to find happiness within a family and the bus represents that; as its the transportation to her new life. So in conclusion her inside the bus creates a new beginning atmosphere; however its also a place where she remembers the pains of her past and want to endure that pain for one last time before the bus reaches to her destination of happiness.

Planning: Calender

We came up with this schedule by writing down the different days me and my team members will be available, and then decided to film on the day we are free and that is convenient for us. These are the dates we have chosen to film our movie. Even though its going to be difficult to meet and follow the dates we have chosen due to individuals work and plans, we will all have to make sacrifices to meet the deadline that has been given to us.

Planning: Mind Mapping

These are the different stories that were planned within our group. We made the mind map to help us plan our main story and decide what film we will be producing. We were able to combine different ideas from all three mind maps to be able to come with the right idea for our film.



And we chose Like It Was Yesterday
