Preparation

Preparation
In the weeks building up t filming weekend we looked for locations such as the nightclub, burger shop and the house. The nightclub location turned out to be the hardest to pick as we quickly realised the difficulties of filming in one, loud noise levels and music that we would have to edit out due to copyright added with a difficulty in permission. We decided the best solution to this would be to use the Student Union for the interior shots as it wouldn’t be too busy and we were more likely to get permission for there. We intended to then use exterior shots of another club to make it appear that the shots were taken in an actual nightclub.
I then started to write the shot list, I did this by firstly writing a rough draft using the script and writing it in order of appearance so that I could be sure I hadn’t left any action out. I then re-wrote it in filming order, this turned out to be harder than I thought because I wanted to account for costume changes as well as locations, time of day and camera positions. The costume was the hardest part because we had the same actress wearing different at least two combinations of clothing on each day and the plot was set across four days.
