Update

Due to the train tracks being worked on, we are unavilable to film on the dates mentioned in the picture. We must also wait until all the things have been cleared so we may film. We are resheduling again.

This is the list of dates the level crossing is shut for.

Props

These are the props we will be using for the project. We will be using a wrench, which is the weapon used to kill the person and also a tube of fake blood for effect. Since the wrench will be classed as a weapon and would appear intimidating for members of the public, we will alert the authorities of our plans for it so we do not get into trouble for having it in public. This will be done one day prior to filming.

Update

Due to one of the actors being unavailable, we were unable to film the first part of our film. We have resheduled for next weekend. In the meantime, we have taken shots of locations we thought would be an issue. We will also use these as a template to run titles over, so we can decide on which ones to use before we have the opening filmed. This will be done next Tuesday, when we have access to Adobe Premiere Pro.

Shooting Plan

We have decided we will be filming our clip over the course of 2 days, possibly after schools. We will film the first half in the woods with the discoverance of the body, and then the scene with the train the subsequent day. All actors will be notified of this 2 to 3 days prior of recording.

Railway Safety

In order to ensure complete safety near the railway, we have to take some precautions such as
-Whilst filming on the railway, we will always have 1-2 people accompanying the cameraman watching out for trains and other dangers
-My partner and I will ensure that the cast are behaving responsible and mature.
-The cast will also be told to remain on the level crossing, and not venture onto the tracks themselves.
-Unless crossing, nobody will be on the tracks by themselves.
-We are to vacate the tracks at the first sign of a train approaching, giving plenty of time to ensure everyone's safety.

Recce Shots #2

Preliminary Exercise

This is our Preliminary Exercise that we completed in September. It has been uploaded to our YouTube acount (Terrordronepro)

Update

Due to a communication error, I was unable to speak to my collegue over the Christmas Holidays. However, we have managed to complete our script and also recruit our whole cast. We will begin to film the actual opening as soon as possible.
