Our Location and Actor Planning



What I have learnt
          By planning out the locations we are going to film beforehand helped us to plan out other things. These includes considering how we are going to get to that location and picturing which part of the location we are going to use for filming. Just to get the rough idea of how the scene is going to look like is really useful as we can then link the entire scene and create our storyboard and shot lists.
          The actors planning also helped us ensuring that they are available for filming and if they suit the role. We don't really want to ask someone who is camera shy to be our actor as the role of our actor requires courage since they are going to be lip syncing in public places. From past projects, we also learnt that working with more than two actors could get a little complicated, especially if they have different schedules. One of the actors can also opt-out as they could have sudden plans that they didn't know about. Luckily, that doesn't happen with our actors, although we do still need to consider improvising if any of those risks happen.
