Shooting plan – March 15

We are back from vacation! It seemed like a long 2 weeks actually but ready to get started again. We are working on the Project Video and Cloe is supporting us with this task by creating a document to help with directing the project. It is called a shooting plan template.

Today we are going to meet in Las Catalinas because that is where we are going to shoot the video.

The objective for today is to make sure that we are ready for next Wednesday. Cloe will be here to help us film the video and give us pointers on the process. We need to inform our cast of their role. They need to know when and where to be next week. We need to be organized so that shooting is efficient - we only have a finite amount of time. And we need to know our roles and be able to execute them.

Spark: Discuss and write what is the explanation for the project.

I am going to print out our shot plan and cut it up for them to organize in a way that makes sense for the day of the shoot. Nate and Eitan will work on this to fill out the shooting plan while looking at the shot list. They can discuss their ideas and fill out the form. They need to think about timing, lighting, location and the characters.

Then Oliver needs to work on contacting the people that will be in the video. Explain why we are creating the video and what part we would like them to play in the video and why. Then we can ask them if Wednesday after 3:30 would work for them to come and take part in the video. If so, after Nate and Eitan finish the video, we can give them a very specific time and location for shooting on Wednesday. Oliver will be in charge of working with the actors next Wednesday - costumes and location.

Oliver can also go and get some B-roll. B-Roll-(Trees swaying, waves crashing, shots of, active beach club, active copper and stone, active tennis courts) B-Roll--(Bright outdoor events—Beach picnic, plaza games. Closer shots of handshakes, laughter.)

Nate - is the writer and the photographer - Director

Eitan is the producer. 

Assistant director - Oliver - goes to the next station and gets the actors ready. Works closely with the director. 

Let's make sure that we communicate with each other and the cast so that we are ready to roll right at 3:30 on Wednesday the 22nd with Cloe.
