Filming Schedule - Miss Georgiou

Filming Schedule

The purpose of a filming schedule is to provide all of the group members with a detailed outline of what we are going to need to bring, and where we will need to meet in order to film our sequence. The schedule will keep us on track and motivated to film our sequence, and it will keep our group communicated with each other outside of the classroom. The filming schedule helped my group to plan our opening sequence as we now know when we need to get certain frames filmed by, and what each frame is going to involve. We also became more aware of what iconography and equipment we need for each frame, and who is in charge of costume, hair and make up. Also, the schedule will make sure that we all know who is needed for each of the frames so we will be able to film on the days that we have planned to. It was important that we made a plan before we filmed our sequence as this would ensure that we knew exactly what we needed to do so we wouldn't miss anything out while we were filming.
Or filming schedule is:
The beginning of our sequence will start in our school which will show the antagonist as he drags a chair through the corridor and into the basement. The idea is that the school will look empty which will cause the audience to feel sympathetic towards the character as there is no one around to stop him from killing himself. We decided to use my house to film the dinner scene between the mother and antagonist due to my house being and looking older than Molly and Jakes, which will therefore help us to create a more eerie atmosphere. We planned on filming the last frames of our sequence at a bus stop that is local to Chigwell station. This was due to the area around the station being quite isolated which will once again create an eerie, lonely atmosphere. We also thought that this would prevent people from walking into the shot or disrupting us as we film. In the end, we decided to film the last frames on one of the backroads near our school instead of at the bus stop. This would look as though the girlfriend was on her way to the antagonists house and therefore was still in the dark about the fact that the mother is dead. As the girlfriend walks out of camera shot, the audience will then see the antagonist standing behind her, who then follows her as she walks away. The audience will be left wondering what is going to happen to her once she has found the mother or what the antagonist is going to do to her.

  1. This demonstrates a basic understanding of what a filming schedule is and the purpose that it has to a production and this is because you have not fully explored the role of planning in enough detail. The table that you have included however, demonstrates some good group planning, but aim to be more specific with your locations.

    Did you follow your plan or did you make any changes?
