Test shoot : Plan

We are going to be filming in the common room which is our test shoot location and as this is an open space we have needed to adapt to this setting as our real shoot will be done in a closed environment with hallways and different rooms. We have a brief idea of how we are going to layout this scene, for example: we are using the queuing space as the 'entrance' of the house which will lead us to the body which then leads us to the water station. We are going to use the tables and chairs as a substitute to the corridors and rooms to create the idea of a closed environment. 

In the real sequence we will be using a fake gun, but in this test shoot this prop is not accessible to us therefore we will be using an innocent smoothie as a replacement. Also in the real sequence we will be using a prop fake knife but as we also do not have access to this, we will be using a white board marker as an alternative.

As this is a test shoot and during lesson time, we are very limited to cast members so therefore we have to improvise and use our crew members. Due to one of our crew members being absent, we are going to be using an individual who is free during this time period. Neave is going to replace Matilde, FBI agent, I am going to be the camera operator and the dead body and Calum is going to play Mike, the intruder/murderer.

This test shoot was a small outline of what we will be filming for our real shoot. The FBI agent walks into the house and looks around to see a victim lying on the ground who is wounded, this victim then says that the intruder/murderer is in the house. The FBI agent then proceeds to walk around the house and as she is walking through the hallways, she turns a corner and sees the intruder/murderer. This individual comes charging towards the FBI agent and as he does this the FBI agent then proceeds to shoot him dead (twice). Once the individual is dead then the FBI agent turns away and leaves the building.
