Holiday Work - Extensive Planning for Final Project Test Footage

Over the following weeks of the holidays, I have been completing my planning for my final project by finalising my storyboards, getting together some of the basic props and organising for my some test filming to take place next week which is still being confirmed with the required actors and actresses. Currently, my storyboards have had a few tweaks and are finally finished to give me a clear indication of how my shots should look when filmed. While finalising however, I noticed some parts would not work so I have added a few extra shots to compensate and fill in some elements of the characters and story too. The voice-overs I also have planned have been basically written, as in not finalised completely, along with some snippets of dialogue. Initially, I wanted to avoid any dialogue but it was inevitable as its needed to help quite the story I want to portray and add to the atmosphere of certain characters like the twisted side of Dacrual or the cold, blunt Matt character. So before I left school, I asked for ways to improve sound capture and got a few ways like separately recording it and adding but may sound weird compared to the scenes shot but we will work that out when it comes to it. In my following posts, I will uploading my storyboards and any prior planning I have done like cast list etc. Hopefully, everything will run smoothly if filming goes ahead and if not, I will work on the design elements of the course so the time is not wasted if filming falls through.
