I decided to keep the number of locations small for my film opening so that filming is as easy as it can be.
My main location is the local library which is very close to our school. I plan on filming Monday, March 13th, when school ends.
My actresses and I will walk over to the library when school ends and will begin filming in the library since it will have people populate the background that is coming out of school and they will be around the ages of my actresses and characters. I will then be filming the outside portion once all the schools have let out and the streets are more clear and safe to film on to make sure that everything is as safe as possible.
On the day of filming, I will bring all of the equipment I need to school and keep it in my backpack until I need it during filming. I will also ask my actresses to bring specific costumes that fit their characters and any props I can't provide myself. They will carry these throughout the day to have when we shoot.
I will give my actresses some time to change into their clothes in the library bathroom before we start filming and then I want to start rolling, filming in order of what happens within the library in the script.
We will start filming with Sophie (who plays Amelie) walking into the library and advancing to the back desks. Once we shoot that we will film all the scenes of Sophie sitting at her desk and leaving the desk. Then, we will film the scenes that take place at the bookshelves with both Male and Sophie. Then I will film any scenes that have them together like Sophie walking to the bathroom and Male putting the book on her desk. Then, Male will film all of her scenes inside the library and that will mark the end of all of the scenes inside the library.
After all of that, the streets should have had time to clear from the crowd leaving school and we can film the outside portion, starting on the sidewalk and then moving on to filming on the street. This should be quick and we will only be in the crosswalk for most of it. After this has been filmed we will quickly move on to filming Sophie walking toward the library and we will be done.
This filming schedule will help keep me on task the day of filming so that my actresses and I can be done and leave as quickly as possible since all of the filming has to take place in one day at a certain time. I've never written out a filming plan like this before, so hopefully doing this will help keep me focussed and get all my shots filmed quickly and easily.
