Second Meeting For Project

The second meeting for our project was based around the plans for our films. We looked at eachother's ideas and thought about practicality of suitable locations. As my film would be a transition between the modern and Victorian day, I needed seperate locations that would suit each of these eras. For the Victorian times, I decided the most suitable place would be the old town, specifically Trinity Square. I have decided to use a shot of the church for my establishing shot, and for interior shots, I shall ask for permission to film in the old Grammar School museum. I did my coursework for the AS film studies coursework in here, so it should be fine, but if not, I will film outside in Trinity Square. Either place would work, but the Grammar School is filled with Victorian props and clothing that would make the film realistic. A downside to this place though, is that the lighting is quite dark, and so it may not be suitable using a video camera there as the footage may not turn out very well. In the main room though, it is really good lighting, but there could be background noise, which wouldn't fit as the characters are supposedly in a room with no one else in it.
In this meeting, we also discussed possible actors for our projects. I decided to use Zoe Wood and Scarlett Baldwin as the two main characters as their personalities equal the personalities of the two main characters, so the acting will be more realistic as they can relate to them more. I thought about characters I will need in the Victorian times, such as a maid who the two main characters will speak to. For this, I decided to use Josie Robinson as she had the right physical look and has some of the clothing required. I then thought about how I can make the setting look more realistic through use of characters, and so I asked my friend Liam to act as a street urchin, begging perhaps as he has the youthful look I want in this character, he also has clothes which would suit it.
