Filming for Tuesday (If all goes to plan?)

(if max isnt working)

Shooting in London Tomorrow
Tomorrow we are possibly thinking of filming as the weather is cloudy and sunny with no rain. The sun will rise at 8.03am in London and set at 3.53pm. So this would give us plenty of time to be there, film and go home for Max and Me to go to work.

As it is also coming up to christmas it would be the perfect time to shot as there will be busy crowds for us to focus on our character from a busy crowd.

Also, we will be bringing with us the printed documents which are stated on the London Borough Councils website about filming in London as well as all the equipment we will need for the day. I will also be filming on a little camera the set of us filming the scenes.

Essential Contact Details

Asset list

These are a list of things we will need for our opening sequence:


Props


- map
- pins (to stick into the map to pinpoint locations)
- photograph (like a sneaky photograph of a person without them knowing)
- records (of the criminal)
- table (for the interrogation scene)
- chairs ( x2 as there needs to be seats for both detective and witness)

Equipment


- camera (making sure its fully charged before London shots)
- charger (for our interrogation scene we shall check for plug sockets so easy to charge but our London scene we shall make sure the camera is fully charged)
- raincover/umbrella (incase it rains)
- tapes
- tripod
- camera bag (to protect the camera)

Test Shots

These are photos of the actors we will need for our opening of our thriller. We need two people to take part in our thriller however the casting could change depending on the circumstances. However, these are two pictures of two people who look the part of the two people we need in our thriller opening:

Recce

This shot would be our establishing shot.

These photos were taken in Picadilly Circus where we find one of our characters in. We get drawn into London by a map which is in the office of the Detectives. The scene keeps going in and out of London as we find our character wondering around busy crowds of people but we are not certain why they are there. 

Weather wise it would be ideal if the weather was dry, cloudy as it would save us worrying about the equipment getting wet. However, if it rained, this would make a good effect to our opening.

With the background noise with being in London, it would not effect how our opening is as it would add effect to where we are in the busy town. 

Interrogation Scene Location

For our interrogation scene will be using a room within the Leigh Technology Academy. We will be using the Studio. We have booked the studio out for Thursday at 12.15-3pm. 

Here are some images of the Studio: 

Storyboard.

Timeline for our opening scenes

This time line comes with both explanations of what will happen and pictures to show what will be happening at the times when certain 'time slots' are reached. This can all be seen below:

Map of interrogation scene

Here is the annotated map for our interrogation scene labelled from the first moves and camera angles used from the beginning until the end, there is also the added box which contains information on what this scene will do (how the scene is set up and what will be used to keep an audience interested in watching the rest of the film).

Permission from City of London.

To be able to film in London, it is courtosy to ask and let them know.
Here is the link for the website containing the information we need to know:
http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/LGNL_Services/Leisure_and_culture/Arts_and_entertainment/guidelines.htm

On this link it clearly states "On the basis that you are filming with a small crew only (less than eight people), keeping to public walkway, are using portable equipment only and you will not cause any obstruction, danger or offence to others, then you are not obliged to submit an application. However it is deemed good practice to submit an application for all shoots and we advise you do so as we can then notify relevant parties such as the Police and Highways that you will be filming and in turn we can send you confirmation that we see no objection to your filming.''


So..technically, we dont need to do one. But we will attempt to get a reply from them anyway. 
 Here is where i got so far, however we needed insurance information which i didnt have... :/

(after we have decided what days we can all do, we will then decide what times.)

BTW, ill have to find out what days i have work yet. so thats why this is just a preliminary schedule)

Research into Interrogation room settings.

Below I have put together what the interrogation room might look like for our first scene, and included with them are some possible shots and angles we could also use.

Here is also some more pictures of the layout we could use.

Research for costume.

I did some research into what uniforms detectives and police wear, and I have created a mood board of pictures of both uniforms.

Here is the uniform of some of the London and Met police. In my research the TV Drama 'The Bill', was a good source. For a police uniform, we could use a white shirt, black tie, and black trousers. We could customise the outfit by adding the black shoulder pieces, and by adding a fake badge.

Here are the images I researched for the costume for a detective/interrogator. There are a mixture of old fashioned, and more modern costumes for the character. The detective looks smart, a stripy tie or plain tie looks good on an interrogator, as I have seen it in a few movies. A man in a suit would be ideal for an investigator/interrogator. It wouldn't really matter what sort of suit it was, as a lot of the outfits I researched varied.

Here are some costumes and faces that may be useful when picking the actor as well. The costume the 'bad guy' would wear would be more of a casual suit, they will still look important, but not as formal as police or the investigator. Above is another good picture of what the criminal would look like, he is more of a business man criminal.

Here is also the type of coat one of our characters might have if we shot in London:

Practice shots for storyboard

 

We took some preliminary shots for our stryboard. We experimented with angles and which shots were good, and which ones are not so good.
