shooting schedule

I am planning to shoot my music video in two days, as I am concerned the weather will change, thus hindering the atmospheric qualities of my my dream sequence which takes place outdoors. Furthermore, the fact that I am borrowing a smoke machine for the dream sequence means it will have to be returned fairly quickly.

In my opinion two days should prove enough time in which to shoot my music video. In order to achieve this goal I will have to be very organised and manage my time effectively. My actors have agreed to start early and shoot until all of the desired footage is filmed. I aim to maximise the efficiency of my shoot by filming the footage relating to the present on one day, meaning that only the male protagonist will be needed on the first day of the shoot. I will shoot the dream sequence and the flashbacks depicting the male protagonist memories (including the argument) as well as the male protagonist’s delusions regarding the female protagonist and her new lover, on the second day of the shoot, where I will require all three actors to be present.

Props needed on day 1

As previously mentioned, the shots of my male protagonist, which denote his present torment will take place in the location of a room in my garage ( post labelled "Photos of filming locations and a discussion of costume")). I have already set up this room for the shoot as it is currently not used. The props and mis en scene elements that I have already incorporated are as follows: a sofa, a writing desk, a chair, pen, writing pad, small table with, empty bottle of vodka which I will fill with water, empty bottles and beer cans, various posters, two photographs, a guitar, mat, more beer cans and general clutter. However, I still need to source a fresh rose.

Props needed for Day 2

For the dream sequence I will need a smoke machine, engagement ring and ring box.

For shots that represent my protagonist’s memories and delusions, I will need the following props: photos, wine and wine glasses, guitar and candles.
