Organisation

I am still sticking to the plan to film on the 13th of December and film my entire trailer on the same day. i have ran into a problem that might not cause too much of a problem if everything goes to plan but i need to make sure im ready, because i need people to act in my trailer i have my cast ready but because im planning to film it all in one day i do not have the luxury of being able to re schedule if someone cancels on me at the last minuet so i am trying to get a minimum of 3 people to be my back up actors if people drop out as i need to film the entire trailer in one day so the lighting gets progressively darker as the shoot goes on and so my trailer looks and feels as if it takes place on the same day which is what im going for and will achieve easily enough. i will more than likely not have enough time to re-shoot scenes so i will need to do around 10-15 takes of each scene so i have backups if i need them which i will. i will also need to ask for a second camera battery because the camera will be on for a good three hours and im not confident in its battery life to risk having half a trailer. tomorrow i will try to get a camera from the school so i can test how the footage comes out in the type of lighting i will use and see how much lens flare i will get when i have to film the close up of the fire. im doing this early before shooting so if there is a problem i have time to fix it because i don't want all of this to be done at the last minute and have all of my footage being rushed and of poor quality.
