FIlming schedule

A filming schedule is a project plan of the shooting required for the production of the opening  sequence. It represents a timeline stating what events happen at what location and at what time. The resources are also stated; mostly involving basic filming equipment used along with a camera.The shot type and its content is also shown so it is clear when filming. This enables the shooting of the sequence to run smoothly as it has been previously organised. The filming schedule can be used alongside the storyboard whilst filming. The scenes have been broken down  into shorter and more manageable sections with all equipment and props outlined in advance. This prevents wasting time on going back to get forgotten items.Each shot is estimated to take fifteen minutes to film however contingency time can be used in case of the scenes taking longer to set up and film.

When filming, the filming schedule was strictly followed however an extra scene had to be added in between scene 12 and 13 to show the main character get from one location to the next. Due to the fast pace of the scene, it was decided that the character should walk rapidly; slowing down before getting to the bedroom door. It is also unknown whether the ending flashbacks will be used due to the two-minute limit of the opening sequence. This will be decided in editing where all scenes will be put together.
