Shooting schedules
In preparation for the filming of our production, we created a shooting schedule. This gave us a rough idea of which parts of our production we should be filming at certain times and gave us an idea of how long we would be out filming. We believe this was an important thing to do as it helped us plan out of days of filming and enabled us to see how long it would take. The following schedule is one we made in preparation for our day of filming in Southend-On-Sea.
10:30AM
Board the train from Wickford Station to Southend Victoria train station
10:45AM
Start filming on the train journey- film the conversation between the gang concerning their plans

Continue filming just outside of the police station adjacent to the station
11:10AM
Search for ideal spots in Southend to film an establishing wide shot
11:20AM
Film the establishing wide shot in the location we have chosen
11:30AM
Film the gang walking towards their intended target
11:45AM
Board train returning to Wickford from Southend Victoria station
The next schedule is one we created in preparation for our day of filming in Wickford.

Age: 20
Personality: Hard working, committed, intelligent, confident with work, determined, law abiding and innocent

He is a very confident in his work and always determined to get the job done. He has great physical ability as well as intelligence making him a well-respected officer. He is a young and fresh minded officer who grew up in a rough area in London, making him street wise and aware of gang violence. He lives on the edge and isn’t afraid of danger however has an innocent side which makes him prone to failing, even though his confidence suggests otherwise. He brings a different perspective to the police force, making him a unique officer and one that gets results however also brings mixed opinions from fellow officers who question his loyalty and seriousness. A lot of his work involves being undercover therefore he moves location regularly and is secretive.

Character Profile
Protagonist/ Antagonist
Police name: Officer Vincent
Undercover name: Vinnie Flag
Age: 23
Personality: Originally a good person who is a high up detective in the police force, handles sticky situations well, respected, easily distracted, unlucky and hardworking despite constant problems.
Description: Averagely tall and young looking man who focuses on his set task in order to get a job done well. He is very dedicated to his job but he finds himself in sticky situations more often than he should. Unfortunately he does get very easily distracted which tends to make him fall behind and be careless and that’s why he ends up in these situations. Although normally good under pressure and being well able to handle himself there are times where there is not a way out. He does what he is told and is very disciplined but does it all for the high pay that he gets because outside of work he lives a very good life. He doesn’t have a girlfriend or anything and this is a cause of problems for him. When he takes a liking to someone he becomes overly loyal which gets him stuck in the middle of things.
Clothing worn: Jogging bottoms but nicer and classier due to him pretending to join a gang but it shows he is high up from the nicer clothing. Casual and comfy clothing to fit in with the gang members, smart suit for the police parts.
Props: Hidden earpiece and microphone to contact police when he has information, carries a phone and headphones. Wears a watch at all times and always looks at it to show he is keeping track so he knows when to give feedback to his police unit.
