Overall Update So Far - Story Board And Locations

We have drawn up a story board, to give us a fairly detailed idea about the sequence of shots in our opening and give us a structure to work from when we actually begin filming. however we still need to work out time-span for each shot, to make it even more specific, so we know exactly what shot we are doing, and how long we expect it to last within the time frame. I will take a picture of the completed piece to upload as soon as possible.

Also, for research, we created questionnaires and distributed them to possible audience members to get their opinion and give us an insight of how we can achieve a preferred viewing and get an understanding of their expectations of a romance film.
We have recieved some feedback but have more to hand out in order to get a vast range of information to compare and analyse.

TARGETS
1. We need to do a health and safety checks for our locations.
2. Establish a film schedule.
3. In prepiration for filming - discuss props such as a wedding dress, picture frame containing wedding photograph, and other objects we may require.

ALSO, we have just been talking about a possible destination for the "incident" scene which differs from our origional idea of using a derelict building alongside a road in our local area. a group member, Jodie, suggested an area which is located within the school grounds but is not really in use anymore, meaning that filming would be possible without interruption from students or us causing too much of a disruption to anyone else within the school.
an advantage about using this site is that during the "incident" scene we require the male lead, and extras to run from the building doors, creating a chaotic atmosphere. the school location, unlike the other, isnt near any roads, this means that when running around, there is not the danger of on-coming traffic.
i think this location would be more convinient, and easier to gain permission from, however we will look into both the locations first, then make a decision on which is more appropriate for use.
