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 11:00AM 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. 10:30AM Meet up with Lewis and Tyler in Wickford town to prepare to film. 10:40AM Film meeting scene between Tyler’s character and Cameron’s character in alley way down Guernsey Gardens, Wickford. 11:00AM Film Tyler’s character walking towards, through and out of the underpass, located in Wickford. 11:20AM Search for an ideal location to film a meeting place for Tyler’s character and Lewis’s character to meet. 11:30AM Film this meeting scene in our chosen location. 11:40AM Record the audio of Cameron’s character talking to Tyler’s character through his ear piece. 11:50AM Pack away the camera and tripod and head home.
