Shooting Schedule 2 and Permission - Science Classroom

On Wednesday 1st November 2017 I filmed in a science classroom at school to use as a laboratory setting in my video. When arranging this, I first had to gain permission from the teacher in this room to see when it would be available. I wanted to film during half term so I wouldn't have any timetabling issues and so no one would be in school to disrupt the filming. Here is my email asking to use the area and whether half term would be an available time to do this in.

After sending this email, I spoke to this teacher in person and we arranged the time and place to film, being the 1st November, with the room being available from from 9:00am-3:00pm.

I created a shooting schedule to organise my time and how to use it the most effectively around my actors schedules, fitting in as much as possible while we were all in the same place and had access to the room.

I believe I did a good job at sticking to this schedule as I filmed everything I had planned to as well as preparing for what needs to be filmed in the future. We had a lot of time to film which was good as it took longer than expected to take some of the shots I needed. We had to rush choreographing the dance for the dream sequence as we began to run out of time, however we still managed to create a dance that would fill up up the amount of time needed for the video but didn't get much practice time to perfect it. I'll have to schedule this practice in on another occasion to get the actors comfortable with it and can perform it fluently for when we film it.
