Finished filming;

Due to bad rain on the first day of filming and lack of clear view due to outside getting dark early i decided to film the rest of my short film today. This doesn't resemble my story board as i had planned to shoot it so that the storyline is all in one day, i changed my mind on this because i thought it was unlikely that two people would bump in to each other on the exact same day and also i felt that the story happened all too close together and needed separation between the scenes. I have decided to keep the scenes from the first day of filming to show that it is on a different day which is clear because of the weather difference on the days, the scenes shot were the female being kicked out of her house, her seeing the male help a women up and the male killing a women. i have also filmed outside getting dark and am planning to film the sun rising in the morning to show the difference of the days.

Today (6th january) the weather turned out to be good for filming my short film, i decided to change the time of day in which the male finds the female in the alley way so that it is clear and easy to see. Also because the female has had to sleep in the alley way because she was thrown out of her house she isn't likely to stay there all day so i chose to change it to the morning/midday so she is more likely to still be there from the night before. After this i filmed the pub scene and then the scene where she walks out of the pub and in to the woods getting away from the man which worked out well because after filming the pub scene, outside was slightly dark which fitted in to the woods scene. 

shooting plan;

The order in which i will film the scenes due to the locations i am at;

In daylight; 

1. The scene of the female getting kicked out of her house.

2. The female seeing the male helping the female who had fallen over.

3. The male killing another women in the woods.

4. The scene in the pub

5. A scene in a house of the male drinking and eating with the drink and food going down to show that time has gone by and also maybe a candle.  - I have changed this scene to the male looking at his knife collection but kept a candle burning in the shot.

When it is getting dark;

6. The alley way scene

7. The male chasing the female through the woods.

8. The male killing the female. 

Script;

The script for my short film is basic at the beginning and end but is more detailed in the middle where the two characters are having a conversation.

At the beginning of the short film there will simply be a women shouting 'get out' which is when the female character gets kicked out. The next bit of script we here is when the male character asks the women fallen on the floor if he could help her with her replying yes please. More dialogue begins when the characters ask about each other in the pub, the girl will ask why he isn't having an alcoholic drink, what he does for a job, the male character asks her why she has fallen out with her mum, what she does and says that 'the favourite part of my job is to watch flowers blossom, wither and die' at this moment the female leaves and he says 'where do you think you're going' the last bit of dialogue is the male saying 'now its time to watch you wither and die' when he kills the female. 

Time scale and locations;

I am going to film on the 30th of december between the times of 3pm - 4pm in the scenes which need day light and then again as it starts to get dark at 4:30 pm to which ever time is needed to get all the darker shots done.

Locations;
Blackwell avenue 
Mousehold woods
An alley way in Sprowston
A local pub

This is the weather forecast for the day i am planning to film, due to my short film being a thriller the weather will suit the genre better being dark and gloomy which is expected on this day. If there is light rain, as long as there is a clear view on the camera i will carry out the filming but if there is a heavy rainfall i will need to reschedule.
