Shooting Schedule- How it went!

We shot our opening sequence on March 3rd 2012. Here is a detailed description of from start to finish of our day.

• 10:45am- Our male actor arrived at "Makeup Artists" house to commence makeup. To see post on this with detailed description of how makeup was done, follow link. http://foundationportfoliowg3.blogspot.com/2012/03/mise-en-scene-of-our-opening-sequence.html
• 12:15pm- Our child actor then arrived at the same house to start costume and hair. Our male actor was also asked to get into costume at this time as his makeup was finished by then.
• 12:30pm- Once all costume, makeup and hair was complete we packed up our "Kit" which included all our essentials for makeup touch ups, props and camera equipment. We then left the house on route to location.
• 12:50pm- All actors arrived safely to the location, however we were running a bit behind because makeup took a long time. From this time till 1:00pm we set up all the equipment to start our filming process
• 1:00pm- As none of the crew drive, we had to borrow someone else's car. For this reason we decided it would make sense to film the shots including the car first because we did not want to owner of the car standing around all day waiting for us to follow our storyboard.
• 1:00pm till 1.45pm- The person who loaned us the car waited until we had finished our filming which only took roughly 45 minuets and we tried to do the shots as fast as possible with no mistakes as to accommodate the owner of the car, we did about 3 takes of each shots or more to assure we got the best shot as possible.
• 2:00pm- We commenced filming from our storyboard, following each shot how we planned it as this would make it a lot easy for us to edit once we had finished. It took about 2 and a half hours to film these shots after the car scenes, not including the time we spent waiting for planes to pass and people walking past or being in the park.
• 4:15am- We finished filming completely at roughly 4:15pm. By this time the light was still strong, other noise had died down and people were not walking past as regularly. We packed everything away and left location at about 4:30pm.

We felt our shooting day went very successful with only minor obstacles and disruptions. After watching our footage back also, we feel fairly confident on how we did on the day and hopefully we will come out with a good Opening Sequence.
