I decided that by panning times and having a rough schedule for each day of filming could work to my advantage, leaving plenty of time for re-do's and errors. I am filming in three different major locations; the river (morning and evening), the alley (evening shot), the house (more specifically the bedroom and kitchen with some lounge and kitchen scenes). Again, to my advantage, these locations are all very close together and does not take two minutes walking distance between all of them. To help me plan what scenes I were to do, I made a shoot schedule which planned out all of my scenes and I decided on dates and time which they were to be filmed on specific dates.
To enable my planning further I made sure that I had my animatic on a portable device so that I could refer to it when I needed to find out what came next in the process. This helps to reduce confusion and reduces time spent pondering on what comes next.
To aid me in my process of filming I am to use a large tripod for the majority of my outdoor scenes, to help me capture a steady and professional shot. Myself and the crew are well aware that the weather at the moment, is not the best and is very temperamental when it comes to cold snaps and rain. Therefore, as stated in my risk assessment, filming will have regular breaks where we will return to the house to get warm, or have our coats and flasks nearby for a quick "tea-break". If necessary, due to the cold becoming to unbearable for either of my cast then I will incorporate new clothing into their shots and still be able to maintain (for James) an Indie look and (for Lauren) a revealing promiscuous look.
Another worry on my behalf when it comes to filming is that afterwards when it comes to editing, whether I will have enough footage to edit my work. To eliminate this worry, I want to experiment with all of my shots and play with angles and techniques, this would give me enough footage to "play with".
As I had previously desired, I wanted an Indie look for James, therefore, I had some research to do. After I researched the "indie look" I decided an outfit for James. It consisted of a large sweat top, cream chinos, and brown leather boat shoes, all of which he luckily possessed, This outfit gave off a look of denial, regret and delusion due to the dark colours, such as the shoes and the sweat top. The creamy yellow chinos were chosen, as the colour yellow is meant to represent an emotion of hope, this idea of "hope" is that which portrays that his character can look past all of his wrong ways and get on a path of happiness instead on binge drinking and resulting to prostitutes "for a good time".
I also chose a second outfit for James, for the first scenes when he wakes up in a delusional state, this was simply a "scruffy" look of tracksuit bottoms and an old top.
For Lauren, this was quite an easy outfit to put together, I wanted something simple but effective, therefore I got her to wear suspender tights and a top underneath a coat which can be worn off the shoulders.
As a result I was very pleased with my chosen outfits. It suited the indie genre and conveys all the messages I want them to. I am excited to see how all of the outfits together.
