Research of our Film

Props needed:

Costume – Taxi driver is wearing light, coloured clothing. This taxi driver is the good driver and was the one who was supposed to pick up the girl

2 different phones for the girls in the taxi (the girls will have them)

Using a car from the taxi company (green-coloured car)

The other dodge taxi driver (2^nd car that pulls up) is wearing darker, more negative clothing compared to the first taxi driver but in the same coloured taxi.

We don’t need any set design because the sequence will happen outside and the light will be natural light

Dave needed at 9:30am on Wednesday 17 Jan to act as a dodge taxi driver.

We will use the car Dave has ‘Opel Astra’ to be used as the dodge taxi.

Shot-reverse-shot to show the continuous sequence in our shooting. The next photo is an example of a shot-reverse-shot.

Location:

The location of where we are filming is the main Hurtwood House, we will film the scene from 10:00am-10:35am. We’ll need the taxi driver and Dave’s car at these timings. The filming will be made on the soil, hopefully in the middle of the car park just so the audience has a sense of the surrounding area of the characters.

Cast:

Dave as the dodge taxi driver 

Nadeyia as coffee woman

James as the director

Vahe is sound effect

Sasha is lightning

Lighting:

We will use only natural lighting, no set lightning. At the times that we are filming it should be bright enough and we hope there will be no rain to make us reschedule our timings.
