Schedule/plan for filming. 29/11/10.

  To begin scheduling the filming, I decided to sort the shots out that we need to do in order of difficulty, with what I believe will be the most difficult first:

• The bathroom scene I think will be most difficult as we need the most characters at once in this scene - Huntley actor and actresses for the two girls - also, the location is more difficult as it's harder finding time to film indoors to fit in with other residents than filming a highstreet for example. We also need the two red tops for this scene.
•   The shot with the police actor searching through bins and finding the burnt red tops will be the second most difficult, as it's tricky finding an area with open bins where you can film someone rooting through them. Also, having to burn the red tops will be dangerous.
•   The interview between Huntley and the police actor will need a script written for it, also we'll need to find a suitable place with houses in the background where we can safely film.
•   The newsreader shot will be fourth as again, we need to write a believable script, possibly create a background for the newreader to make it look more professional or simply organise the mise en scene to make the shot look believable to the audience.
•   Showing the girls walk out of the door will be fifth hardest as other than timing the filming around the other residents of the house, the shot will only take a few minutes to film.
•    The girls walking past houses should be easy enough, if we can find a way to film from a high area to achieve the style of a CCTV shot. The outside of the houses the girls walk past however, must fit in with the outside of the house we just saw them walk out of.
•    The forest scene will be the second least difficult to  shoot, as there shouldn't be disturbances when filming in an open area such as a forest as there are no laws against it.
•   The least difficult to film I think will be filming the newspapers falling onto a table as other than making the props of newspapers with headlines related to the Holly and Jessica case themselves, the actual shot can be filmed anywhere, on any table which is convenient.

 We have the deadline of the 10th January 2011 to finish our filming in preparation to begin editing  the shots in our lessons after the christmas holidays. This gives us approximately six weeks for the filming. However, my partner and I are aiming to finish filming by the beginning of the holidays, so around the 17th December, giving us three weeks to complete filming. We would like to finish by this time as it's more than likely that shots will need to be re-done or altered, which we can do in the new year.


  To organise our filming over the next three weeks, I created this table. To create this, I asked our original cast when they thought they'd be free for acting:
