The document outlines the plan for the first day of filming for a student film project. It details that the crew will pick up equipment, ensure the camera battery is charged, travel to the filming location on foot which will take 20 minutes, and immediately begin setting up on arrival. It provides instructions that the lead actress should get into costume as soon as possible. The filming will then commence, capturing 8 shots of the actress studying and interacting with her mother on the phone. At the end, the director reflects that some time was wasted but the group worked well together considering it was their first session.

Plan for filming day 1
Triple S Production

2. Pre-Plan for first day of filming: - only first scene
In school:
1. Pick up the camera from Adam, call sheet has already been filled in and
booked for the 10th October.
2. Before we leave we must make sure that the battery is fully charged
3. We must then make our way down to the location in which we had
previously chosen and requested to film in – we will get there by foot.
4. This should take us 20 minutes – maximum.
5. Once we get to the location, we will set up equipment straight away in order
to make use of all our time as we only have a few hours for this first draft.
6. The lead role – the character of Zoe – is to get changed in to costume as soon
as she possibly can.
7. Once she is ready, camera should have been set up using the tripod and then
filming will commence.
Steps of filming at the location:
1. Shot of Zoe listening to music, going through revision guides etc.
 Music must be loud at this point.
2. Mother calls and phone screen lights up notifying the audience that her
phone is going off.
3. She picks up, camera is closer and a different shot is used.
4. Takes her earphones out as she was listening to music – picks up.
5. Converses with her mother and at this point, the ”typical teenager” is
presented through her attitude whilst she is talking to her mother.
6. Hangs up after “I love you too, mum.”
 A few different shots should be used throughout but not too many
as it may over-complicate things.
7. Eventually ends up falling asleep, as she does, music is still blasting through
her earphones and her phone goes off.
 Caller I.D. is on unknown however she does not wake up.
8. When she does wake up, she checks her phone, and walks out of the room.

After filming:
How successful was this?
As the director, although I believe a lot of time was, to some extent, wasted,
we worked extremely well as a group and communicated very well
considering we finished what we had planned to. The next filming session
should mean that we will be prepared.
