Planning Update 2.0

From frequent planning in lessons and outside of them, I have made progress in the planning section of my coursework and I'm approaching the construction! The last few things I need to complete include the props and costumes lists, and organising equipment for filming, and I should soon be able to shoot a first draft to show to a focus group in a few weeks time. Here are the notes from my latest lesson:

Production Companies

Above is a brainstorm of a few small, independent film production companies I could use for credits in the opening sequence. After research, I've decided to use Patchwork Productions as it is a British company which would look more realistic in my low-budget, local film. I also decided to go with a company called Bandoola Productions in addition to Patchwork, as it fills the credits out and adds to the realism: a low-budget film like this would need the support of two small production companies to succeed. Bandoola fund films with Patchwork, so these two companies are what will be on the credits for this film.

Location Recce 4- House 2

This location is closer to our school than the previous house, and is a quieter street so will be much more efficient for filming in. The atmosphere worked for what I imagined the setting to feel like, and I think this will be ideal as a filming base. I think this location, along with the woods in the surrounding area, will be perfect for the film as everyone involved will easily be able to get here when I begin production.
