Planning for Short Film

Schedule-



The schedule for the 2020 Vision Production goes as follows: throughout the first week of December, we are going to wait on further guidance from our respective teachers, as the situation with the ongoing pandemic is unknown. Moving onto the second week, with an anticipated due date of early spring, we want to begin an in-depth plan on how the production process will go, including the shots, camera angles, mise-en-scene, and other various aspects. On the third week of December, the filming process will begin. On December 16th and 17th, filming will take place at actors' respective houses. This includes the scenes of the actors arriving at the houses, the news broadcast, and other various scenes. Then on the 18th, we will go to our local Publix, assuming permission is given, and then on the 19th, to the testing center. In the third week of December, we will first begin with planning the editing techniques and timeframe, and then follow up with 3 days of consecutive editing. Finally, we plan on being finished with the production aspects of the film by late December to early January, to meet the timeframe of the submission process.

Locations-

1. Car

2. Guard Gate

3. House

4. Grocery Store

5. Testing Facility

Each of these locations are in a very close proximity to one another, so it should be very easy for our group to get to each spot. These locations are key to use being able to properly convey the characters’ situations. The car will be essential to showing our characters traveling to their spring break destination and throughout the area of their rented house. The guard gate will serve as the entry point to the neighborhood they will be staying in. The house will be the location that the characters spend the majority of their time. The Grocery store will be a very important scene for the characters because it will show what the outside world has turned to. Lastly, the testing facility will reveal the plot twist for our character, Ryan.

Health and Safety-

The main health concern is making sure we are safely around each other during the Coronavirus Pandemic. We will all be getting rapid tests before filming so that we will know that no one will be spreading the virus. In most of the scenes, we will also be wearing masks. When filming in public, everyone else around us will also be wearing a mask. Any time we are in a car, everyone will be buckled in and legally driving. Parents will be present during all filming experiences to make sure all minors are safe. There will be first aid kits present throughout the process. All phones will be charged so that, if necessary, emergency calls can be completed.

Props Costumes-

For the costumes, Ryan, Jordan, Sky, Sabrina will be dressed in normal, everyday clothes. Each actor will carry a mask with them to wear during the grocery store scene and when they are around others. Props used in the grocery store scene will be a cart, food, water, and toilet paper. The covid-test administrator will be wearing a white lab coat, gloves, goggles, a mask and a face shield. The news caster will have on a suit and he will have glasses and a notebook as his props.
