Planning: Soundtrack

Me and Laura were searching for different soundtracks on imcompetech. They need to be intense and have rock theme to the soundtrack so it is epic and dynamic. We have found a few soundtracks that match this and we are deciding which ones to include and if we should edit some soundtracks together or alter.

Planning: Reflectors

We will be using reflectors which will help light our scene in the shots we need to take. We need to make sure the shots we take have a lot of light and each scene apart from the beginning and the end needs to be equally light as light beamed everywhere.

I will be making the reflector from cardboard and tin foil. I will be making this reflector as big as i can and i will try to make it durable so we can use it several times in our shoots.

Planning: Meeting about storyboard

Me and Laura discussed with miss that we are going to alter our scene lengths as we have found that if we go along with our current storyboard the film opening would be around a minute so we need to add some scenes in and increase the time in the shots we need to take to make our film longer to around 2 minutes.
