Pre-production

We started a production plan of when we will be filming and what we will be filming.  We created our production plan by printing of an A4 sized calender of the months February and March 2014 and started to fill in what we will plan to do on each day. 

We decided to shoot the scenes over the half-term which was between the 17th February and 21st February so that we have enough days to get all our shots in. The time frame we planned to shoot in was between 10-3pm so that we don't have to go through the peak times which are mostly around 9am and 4-5pm. In the time frame we chose the stations are not as busy which means we can capture shots easily without worrying. We have also arranged to hire the schools DSLR camera and Steadicam before we break up for the half-term as we wil need it for shooting.

Mise-en-scene
We have planned a list of props that each individual person needs to bring on the day of shoot:
Hayely
-Glasses
-Handbag
-Watch
-Lipstick 

Aaron
-Blazer
-Tie
-Watch
-Umbrella
-DSLR Camera
-Steadicam

Me
-briefcase/work bag

The costume style for both male and female character will be smart business wear as they are both posh formal people who live in London. The setting of our title sequence will be up Central London as we want to give the hint of the film being about two British people who are based in London. On the day that we will be shooting the lighting outside will have to be quite a sunny bright day as the genre of our film is a romcom and we want to set a happy romcom feel towards the audience. This will mean that our shooting dates will be flexible (between 17th-21st February) due to weather conditions. The make-up for both the female and male character will be subtle and natural. The performance and facial expression to be shown on both characters will be getting excited and being in a good mood due to both characters meeting up with each other and going on a date.

Cinematography
The cinematography that we are planning to use are extreme close-ups, mid shots, 3/4 shots, long shots as well as wide shots, crab, pan and track. We will use a tripod and Steadicam as much as we can so that the camera does not move too much and is steady.
