Pre-production of recreating A Blonde in Love - Plan

Pre-production
Equipment: For this task we will be using a Canon 5D mark II camera to film, a Canon 40D camera to document the process, camera battery x2, compact flash card x2, and a fluid head tripod.

Lighting: We will be using natural lighting, as new wave films are filmed naturally and spontaneously, without a need for artificial lighting equipment.

Sound: Classic new wave films feature natural noise of the surrounding environment. Subtitles are widely used, especially in foreign new wave. For our recreation of A Blonde in Love we will be using natural diegetic sound with the use of subtitles added in the editing process, however with no dialogue.

Locations: We will be filming around King Edward VI college and the surrounding area. We will location scout the area first to find buildings/places that resemble the locations featured in A Blonde in Love. Shooting around college enables us to film whenever is convenient and re-film any shots that we feel necessary.

Weather: Looking at the weather forecast before shooting will help us to decide which day/which time of day to shoot. The scene from A Blonde in Love features overcast foggy weather. We will aim to film at a time of day closest to this, however the weather is not a major factor, so long as it is not a stark contrast e.g. heavy rain or snow.

Dates: We plan to film on 15/09/2014, 16/09/2014, 17/09/2014, 18/09/2014. As we plan to film over a 4 day period, we will be able to shoot shorter shots at each time and plan more thoroughly, as opposed to rushing the shots and it not resembling the scene of A Blonde in Love.

Roles within the group: I will be documenting/logging the group by taking photographs for evidence, Rory will be directing, Jordan will be operating the camera, Connor will be lighting and location scouting, and we will be using actors from an AS drama class at the college.
