Preparation For Film Day 1

Looking at our production schedule which Alex and I had both devised about 2 weeks ago which listed down the filming dates we have organised with our actors, we are now both organising our filming equipment, props and actors together in preparation for our first film day tomorrow with our main antagonist actor Harry in the city of Exeter.

In preparation for the first shooting of the city scene in Exeter, Alex and I have made sure to confirm with Harry that he can be picked up in the morning by Alex so that we can head off to Exeter to begin shooting the first scene for this short film at 10:00. Whilst Alex and Harry plan to make their way to Princesshay car park (location of our first scene) in the Mercedes-Bens A Class Car (prop car used for this short film for our antagonist villain character), I plan on making my own way up with my father who will have all of the filming equipment and sound equipment which we will need for shooting this scene. I plan to bring the Canon 600D DSLR, RODE NTG3 Mic, RODE Mic Boom Pole, Audio Recorder to sync all of our audio together and Alex's iPhone 6s to use as a back up camera in case of the camera batteries dying midway through shooting our scene.

In terms of additional preparation steps I needed to check, we made sure to inform Harry his costume he will be wearing on set. We said a black suit, tie and smart shoes will be the costume worn by him to illustrate the highly sophisticated criminal which he his. Alex also thought that the Mercedes prior to tomorrow needed a clean to make the car all shiny and brand new, to reflect again the wealthiness of our antagonist character.

The weather on the other hand is looking a little unpredictable as there is a mixture of both rain showers and cloud cover for tomorrow which to some degree could become a problem when filming, so we will have to see.
