Pre-filiming preparation

Preparation for Filming 

Last Friday we visited our filming location and took recce shots of the location and inside the household. This then enabled us to decide which rooms we were going to film in, and whether all the equipment could fit in the provided space or not. In addition, one of our group members, Emma went to college in the afternoon and collected our equipment. This included; the camera, case&charger, microphone for the sound, the studio lights and stands, the light reflectors and tripod. Even though we were provided with a presentation from one of the technicians from school on how to use the equipment appropriately and safely, Emma and her father decided to test all of the equipment the following day, just to double check that everything worked and reminded herself how to use the lights etc. 
Another point to note is that I went to the local supermarket the day before filming and purchased a few items from our prop list. For example the medication and bottles. I then stuck labels onto the medication, which ensured that we were organised for the next day (filming).
