Filming Schedule - Miss Georgiou

A filming schedule is important to have as it means that everyone in the group is away of when and where we are filming each section of our sequence. Additionally, it will help us in organising what props or equipment will need to be taken to the filming locations and what actors are needed for when we film as on some days we might not need both actors there. As well as this it will help us so that when we are filming we don't go of tracy and we film what is needed to be filmed that day. 

While filming we mainly followed our filming schedule, however we changed and added in a few shots while filming in the dark room. We added in using a panning shot when the antagonist enters the dark room as otherwise we felt as a group that by using only one camera angle for this it dragged the shot out to much and made it boring for the audience. Whereas by using multiple angles to show the antagonist entering the dark room it keeps the audience intrigued and interested in the sequence. Before we decided on using a panning along with out point of view of the antagonist entering the room we experimented with many other camera angles and movements until we used the panning, which we decided worked best. When filming we also had to film additional shots of the victim in school this is because when looking back over our footage we realised that because we had filmed on different days our female victim actress was wearing a different type of skirt and had her hair in a different style, which we would effect the overall outcome of our work. Also, in our footage for when she is by her locker there is a teacher in the background who is looking directly into the camera and so we had to re film this scene because him looking directly into the character effected the suspense of the antagonist leaving the note in the victims bag. Furthermore, we added in a classroom scene of where she found the note at the start of one her lessons. We added this in because it was a better shot to show of her finding it instead of her just fining it in her bag, which wouldn't of been as conventional to the other scenes around it. From the role of a filming schedule i have learnt that it is important for production to have one so that you can check of each shot as you film it and work out whether there are any shots you need to add in to make the sequence run more smoothly.
