Filming thoughts

As i am collecting together my final thoughts for my teaser trailer, and i am working out the composition of my shots, i am also looking at things that could potentially go wrong and how i could prevent it.

• When filming and setting up the composition of the shots, i need to make sure that everything in the shot stays the same as i am going to use spit screen editing techniques to have my main female character in the shot at the sam time, so i need to ensure that nothing changed or moves within the shots,not any leafs or anything. To try and prevent this i am going to make makings on the floor with tape f where my tripod will be, and if i have to move then it will be in exactly the same place. Also its a particualy windy day and there is leaves on the floor than i may sweep them away to stop them blowing when i filming.
• Also i may have problems when filming because i am filming in public. This means that anything unpredictable could happen, so i need to be prepared to stop filming and points. For example anyone could walk up the lane where i am filming, or a car could also drive up. Again marking out on the floor with tape where my tripod and camera is going to be positioned will help to put the camera back in the correct place.
• I will also have to think about certain props that i need to use in my trailer. For example, i wanted my character to be holding a kitchen knife with fake blood on it, however i have to re think this as its breaking the law to have a knife in public, so i am going to have to re think a effective way of showing murder.
• The weather will also effect my filming, as if its raining or really windy i will have to postpone my filming.
• Because i am using the same character the whole way through, but in two different perspectives, personalities and looks, i am going to have carefully plan how i film, and film on look of the character first, then the second look after and then place it all in order when i edit it.
