Planning: 8 key questions

Planning: 8 key questions
1.) Is it practical?
Our film opening is going to be fairly practical to do. It is based in two locations, one location is at school so easy to do, and the other is in Lincoln where we have arranged to all meet up on Sunday.

2.) Is it an idea that works to the strengths of the group?
I think we can all work together well with this idea, we have all got different roles to add to the film opening.

3.) Will it show off the skills you have learnt so far on the course?
I think our opening will show that we have learnt because we are using a range of shot types and from our preliminary task we learnt to do a shot/ reverse shot and we are using a couple in our opening.

4.) Is it something you can reasonably shoot and edit in the time available?
I think it will be fairly easy to get it filmed and edited in the time, if we start to run out of time we will come in at lunches and after school to get it done.

5.) Can you get access/ permission to shoot in the chosen location at the chosen times?
For when we are in Lincoln, we are using a public place so there should be no issue for when we are filming and for when we are at school, we have permission to film.

6.) Can you organise lighting to use in that location?
For the scene at Lincoln, we are doing it in the day time so we are using natural lighting and won't need any artificial lighting. For the dark room scene we are going to use a phone spot light and torches for the appropriate lighting. 

7.) Have you included dialogue? If so, will it work to shoot conversation in that location
There is only dialogue in our opening in the flash back scenes, and even then there isn't a lot.

8.) Do you have guaranteed high quality reliable actors to play the characters?
Our actors are committed in helping us and they are reliable people. They look the part for our characters.
