In today's meeting we managed to secure the use of : x1 camera, x1 tripod and x1 set of lights for our first filming shoot (on Friday the 23rd of November). We also contacted - via emailed the band's (The Vaccines - who are chosen track 'If Ya Wanna' is originally sung by) management in order to properly secure permission for borrowing their material.
We also contacted 'Costa Coffee' in New Malden to receive permission to use their cafe as a shooting location - luckily we were granted with the go ahead and now have several public (more professional looking) locations as well as our own houses, making the ratio much more even and hopefully visually more effective. With the rest of today's planning meeting we carried on with our storyboard sequence which we have done three quarters of now and are rapidly approaching the stage of transforming our drawings into an animatic presentation.
Finally we started to plan out shot sheets, noting down : cast, costume, props (we also managed to source & then track down an authentic 1920's silver wear dining set to use for our Jazz age scene) location, date and briefing of each of our scheduled shoots. It was a rather productive day today in which most of our admin was finalised or came close to completion. We knew ( especially when recounting on previous struggles & lack of organisation in our AS projects) that having a well thought out structure and clear division of every element was critical. Thus we spent much more time on thoroughly completing all of our prep rather than rushing into creation without a clear structure - which last year made editing a much more strenuous and stressful task!
