Plans For Shooting (Group Work)

Hair and Make Up
For the production, 'CAPTIVE' we aspire to use make up and costume as a significant aspect of our opening. We will acquire make-up to our leading character to associate our project with the conventions of media. Specific make-up will be applied to our main character in able to convey injuries such as bruising and cuts. Also we will make him look dirty to add a further realistic dimension to our opening. For this production we have contacted Lilly Pannifer, a local make-up artist with intermediate experience, who has clarified their availability on the dates of shooting. She has agreed that she will contribute and be responsible for this aspect of our film.

Lighting 
Due to the majority of our opening being shot in daylight hours we will rely mostly on the natural light source present on the day. The denouement of the film will be filmed into hours of darkness. For this we will experiment with lighting such as external flashes and strong torch lights to achieve the required effect. We already have the aforementioned light sources in our possession, so they are obtainable for our use on the day of filming.

Props

We will need many properties on the day for use to conform to the genre-specific conventions (mise-en-scéne). The props we will need to bring to the shoot are:

• Dolls (variety, china)
• Mirror
• Wooden Chair
• Tape Recorder
• Rope
• Fake Blood
• Black Hood
• Character's costume
• Character's Camera

Further Items items needed (not to be shown in film)

• Inflatable dingy
• Wheelbarrow for transportation
• Camera equipment ((tripod, filters, 3 DSLR's, Lenses (Fixed, Zooms, etc.) External Mic, External Flash)

Shot Types

Before the shoot, we have carried out extensive practise, in order to confirm the shot types that we will be using on the day. We have found that the shot types that we will be using most frequently are as follows:

• Close Ups
• Mid Shots
• Establishing Shots
• Extreme Close Ups
• Long Shots
• High-Angle Shots 
• Low- Angle Shots
• Tracking Shots
• Pans

Locations

We have finally confirmed the location of our shoot - North Weald Redoubt Fort. 87 Thornhill, North Weald Basset, Epping, CM16. This is completely accessible and we have made visits to the set in order to confirm any logistical queries such as transport and parking. The drive is approximately 15 minutes long and transport is not an issue, as our parents will willingly drive us. The closest public establishment is The King's Head pub, near to the car park of the building. This will be the place for us to visit in case of extreme emergency.
