Day 2- Filming Script

Day 2: Filming- 2nd January 2016

Location:

Xena's grandma's house and an alleyway- Staplehurst

Meeting Point:

We have arranged to meet at Xena's house at 10:00am and from there we will walk to the alleyway to get the filming done before it begins to rain. 

Props:

Xena: Xena will bring the filming camera, tripod, polaroids and picture board. 
She will also arrange to use extra props available at her grandma's house. 

Mindi: As Mindi is the actress she will bring the costumes (three different ones) along with jewellery. She is also bringing a spotlight, briefcase, documents, fake money and a typewriter.

Zayanah: Zayanah will provide the fake cigarettes, a tape recorder and a tape to play inside the recorder.

Hazel: I will bring the parcel which will be used by the detective in the opening scene and the venetian blinds prop which we can use to create the shadows.

What will be completed?
Actors will be informed of what to wear before they arrive. By the end of the day we hope to have filmed all of our scenes. We will complete the alleyway scenes first, where Xena's dad will act as the detective, a family friend will act as the kidnapper and Mindi will act as the femme fatale. All of the actors will be filmed in the alleyway where the exchange of money will take place and Mindi will be revealed as the real villain. 

Next we will film in the detective's office (Mindi's grandma's house). These scenes will only require the detective (Xena's dad). In the office he will receive a package, pack his briefcase and listen to a tape recording. 
Sounds and music will be edited in after this day therefore we do not need to worry about this.

Finish time = 3:00pm

Day 1: 22nd December 2015-  Setting up the location and Taking polaroid shots for picture board prop

Location:

Xena's house and her grandma's house- Staplehurst

Meeting Point:

We have arranged to meet at Xena's house at 10:30am and from there we will walk to her grandma's house which is not far away. 

Props:

Xena: Xena will bring the filming camera and her polaroid camera. She will also help us to decide what items can be used as props within her grandma's house for example chairs, glasses, lamps and a desk.

Mindi: As Mindi is the actress she will bring the costumes (three different ones) along with jewellery. She is also bringing a spotlight, briefcase, documents and fake money.

Zayanah: Zayanah will bring the fake cigarettes with a lighter which will be used by Mindi in the polaroid shots. She was also bring a tape recorder which will be used by the detective.

What will be completed?

By the end of the day we will have taken all of the polaroid shots of Mindi needed for the photo board prop. These pictures will be taken in various places around Xena's grandma's house and garden. Some of the locations will need to be cleared in order for the shots to be taken.For example the garage will need to have a corner cleared and a chair placed in front of a wall in the corner and we will need to clear the office so that all the modern devices, such as a laptop, are not seen in the shots. We will also prepare the detectives office with the correct mise-en-scene so it is ready for when we come back to film. In addition to this we will also agree a time to next meet to make sure our actors are ready to film.

Finish time = 1:00pm
