Production log

What have you contributed to this week?

This is the first week of pre-production and so far me and my partner have divided up the work equally and have started to plan out the dates of filming, and the actual idea in more depth so that we know what to include in each shot. Also during this week we went around looking for stores and asking permission if we would be able to film inside there store and got a reply back from the manager of Lakeside asking for permission to film, but unfortunately she said no to it, but she said that we might be able to ask individual stores.

How does this fit in to your production schedule/job roles/overall ideas of the project?

With the production schedule it could become an issue, due to not knowing when or if we would be able to shoot the shots we want in the store and maybe result in us changing the idea of those shots, but hopefully that wont become a issue as we both we go out again during the week and asking more stores for there permission to film.


Were there any problems?

During this week the only problem that has came up is that during the weekend we went to Romford to ask shop owners if they would give us permission to film in there store, unfortunately we go denied for filming due to store policy s. Two of the shops we went to said to come in during the holidays and it will be fine, but it doesn't seem the most reliable option as its not for certain that we would be able to film, so it would damage are production schedule. But other than that this week has gone quite smoothly towards the pre-production stage, and now we have also thought out our idea in more depth so we have a clearer image in our heads of what the outcome of the shots will be.



What are your plans for the following week?

 For this week the plans are to expand are locations further by visiting other shopping centres so hopefully by the end of this week we might have a place to film the scenes. Also this week we will be finishing off our location recces and getting the cast members to sign the form that shows that they know what they have signed up for, and also we will be finishing off are 100 shot list.

This here is a permission form that me and my partner made
for the stores that we visited, outlining what we plan to do in there store.
 Unfortunately  though we didn't get any signed.
