OCCULT PLANNING DOCUMENTATION

In our production meeting we planned the shots that we wanted to include. In terms of the light shots, we would go out and improvise depending on what we could see. With the actor's scenes, we planned 18 specific shots that would be shot over one day (plus cutaways). These shots would be filmed during the late afternoon so that we could catch a dusky natural light. In our location scouting we found a great demolished warehouse in Sylvester Gardens, Sheffield, where these scenes would be shot.

Before beginning to shoot our piece, we had to collaborate our own personal schedules and find time to shoot, record and edit our piece. In light of this particular discussion, and as producer of the film, I decided to draw up a schedule to stick to in order to complete the work on time. 


(Apologies for the difficult screen-shot. I had trouble getting the spreadsheet onto the blog)


I also drew up an equipment list so that we had everything we needed to start shooting.
