'The Way' Progress and Development - DAVID

16/11/2015 - Set up the treatment for the short film, which explained the film synopsis, genre, opening scene and shot, ending scene and shot, and it being a single strand narrative.

25/11/2015 - Came together as a group of 4, including myself. All pitched our ideas and this idea of mine was the one we went for. Our second idea was Daisy's idea, which involved a surgery of a creature that spans way out of control.

10/12/2015 - We went out and started filming particular shots in our movie. We filmed a lot of tracking shots of myself walking to and fro from different houses and buildings.

16-21/12/2015 - 16th = We went out as a group to Old Coulsdon Village, filming long shots, extreme close ups on the actor's face,eyes and mouth. We also decided to film extreme close ups on the piece of paper the actor is holding with the missing address on it. This required myself, Tom and James (camera operator).

17th = We stayed inside Coulsdon College and filmed a lot of walking scenes inside the college. During the day, we filmed tracking shots of the actor walking into the college, through doors and walking into a room where his friends are playing card games. We filmed various mid-shots of the actor and the table. We also filmed long shots of his friends playing different card games whilst the actor has sad facial expressions and tries to play the game.

20th = During the day, we filmed most of the shots needed in Sanderstead, mostly filmed at my house, situated in the village. We filmed mid-shots of the character and head shots soon after his mother died to express sad emotions of the actor.

21st = This day was the last day needed for filming in Sanderstead. We filmed all of the shots needed at All Saint's Church, Sanderstead, where we didn't need any permission to film at the location. First of all, we filmed tracking shots of the church itself and the gravestones that surround it. We filmed full body shots of the actor and filmed a tombstone which did not need permission from certain persons. We lastly filmed extreme close ups on the actor's face and the gravestone.

06/01/2016 - Final day of re-shooting various scenes. Filmed head shots, extreme close ups of the teenager making research on finding his brother. We, as a group, filmed at Coulsdon College, and decided to take some shots of the paper and folder to emphasise what he was looking for. We also filmed outside of Coulsdon College in the village of Old Coulsdon. We decided to film mid-shots of the teenager running around different houses and trying to find his brother.
