While Amirah chose the names, we both decided that these characters would be able to be played by either male or female actors that would be in our opening, depending on who would be available; Amirah used 'they' rather than 'he' or 'she' in the script, timeline and shot list, although O'Connor is referred to as 'he' in the synopsis. From this we wrote a schedule of the possible rooms that we could film in and the available times we could do it, along with props and resources for filming:
Location: One of the corridors and subsequent classrooms in
school
Possible locations:
·
Study block – corridor, computer room and its
centre tables
·
ICT 1 – villain hiding behind computer, jewel on
centre table. Check w/ Mr Ali for details of unused periods and days. – P2 mon,
P1 & P2 Tues P3 4 weds P2 3 Fri.
Times & periods: Actors
(can be male or female), myself and Amirah will determine whether it’s either
free/study periods, break time, lunchtime or after school during this week or
next week - P1 & P2 (Mon, Tues), P5 (Weds), P3 and P4 (Fri).
Cast: Tom, Claire.
Props: wooden sports bat, tennis ball (borrow from PE dept.),
prop gun?, jewel in a box, which is in a suitcase (provided by Amirah).
Resources: script, shot list, storyboard, a camera.
Unfortunately, we found out that the students we initially wanted to film were busy with other things and we were also unable to find other students in our year who would be able to film; while most were busy, another refused as she didn't want her face to be shown, despite me saying that we would find a way to avoid this, i.e. film her back and not her front. This led me to propose to Amirah that we could film each other - I would film Amirah playing one character, and she would film me playing the second.
