New Shooting Script

        We decided to update and change our narrative slightly after we had to change actors in order to make the story flow better and become clearer to our target audience. We decided to have the split screen section of them getting ready at the start instead of towards the end. Also instead of having the artist singing whilst in the story, we decided to make the narrative and the performance seperate, and create and on going cross cutting sequence between the story and the artist's perfomance. We also decided we needed quicker cuts to match the music, so we also took this into consideration when planning the new shotting script.

Here is the updated shooting script:

Update

                 During filming we had a lot of issues in being able to have our actors there because of various commitments, therefore our actors and actresses have changed and we have also had to change some locations again because of availability.

                Now the main actress is myself, however although I am on the screen the majority of the time I will help set out shots and film the majority of the couple scenes which I am not in. We have also changed our bar location as it became very busy and hard to film in due to the amount of people around, so now we are filming in a small cafe that is in the park for the date scene as it is more convenient and quieter in the morning so there is less risk of people being in shots.

Due to these events, we have updated the filming schedule:

Date	Location	Cast and crew	Purpose
January 3rd	Central Park, East ham	All cast and crew	To film some of the couple scenes and artist shots
January 4th	Central Park, East Ham	Connie and Nicky	Shots of Artist singing
January 10th	Nicky’s House, Stepney	Connie and Nicky	Boy’s bedroom scene
January 13th	Central Park, east ham	All cast and Crew	Filming of end scene and some more Artist Shots
January 17th	Connie’s House, Plaistow	Connie and Nicky	Girls shots to match artist
Friday 25th	Central Park and Connie’s house	All cast and Crew	Film some singing artist shots in the room and more abstract shots in the park
Sunday 27th	Nicky’s house, Stepney	Connie and Nicky	Extra shots of the boys bedroom scene

                The main issue with our filming alongside the fact our actors have let us down is that our video and editing is mainly based on a lot of filming as we have a big concept and haven’t got quite enough footage to cover it and elaborate properly. So far all dates have been filmed on, and currently all we need to go out on it’s the 25^th and 27^th, so after then we shall have all the footage we need to finish our final cut. The first draft is practically done, all that’s needed is to do a little bit at the beginning but that should and will be done by the end of the day. As well as this we had intended to film the weekend before (19^th-20^th), however the snow caused issues for us filming outside so we didn’t get the opportunity. But the snow has cleared now so filming shall go ahead as scheduled over the next few days.

                As we have changed one of our locations here is a Reece and a Risk Assessment for the new area:

Risk Assessment:

Location	Risk	Who is at risk?	Level of Risk	Control Measures
Park Cafe	Uneven flooring	Actors and Crew	Medium	Make sure to find somewhere that’s quite smooth and make sure people are aware of obstacles
Park Cafe	Wet floor causing people to slip	Actors and Crew	Medium	Make sure everyone is aware of the damp ground and being careful

Reece: 

Location	Potential risk to production	What would be affected?	Plan
Park Cafe	Stolen Equipment	Equipment	Make sure that no one is alone with the equipment and that we look around for anyone suspicious
Park cafe	Weather	Equipment and Cast	Look up the weather forecast a few days in advance and plan around the weather
Park cafe	People getting lost	Cast
Park Cafe	People in shots	Filming

Update for First Draft and Shooting Dates

      

                        When finding and finalising ideas and locations we had problems finding a good room to do the scene where our artist rolls out from under a bed, therefore as a group decision we decided to cut that bit out in order to save time when filming as it just became hassle trying to film at a location. Instead we decided to extend the park scene as there was more area to play around with and in doing so we have more time to make the story clearer and create a star image in one location. So far we have filmed the artist at the park, however we aim to go back and do some more, tight framed close up shots of our artist to create an image and do some scenes with the couple. We also aim to get the last scene when they walk down the road done at the same time as it will be easier because all characters will be present. We also decided that we would change our main actor to Nicky as he will always be present when filming, making it easier and the previous actor had a lot of conmmitments so changing was the best option in order to finish filming.

Here is our Current filming time schedule:

Date	Location	Cast And Crew	Purpose
Monday 12th November	Connie’s House	Connie Main actress: Tiffany	Test Shoot To see how she acted on camera
Monday 3rd December	Central Park	Connie Main actress: Tiffany	Scene One We got all our artist shots
