Monday 7th December 2009 – Plan for Final Shoot

Hey guys, I think Nicola’s already text you about Annie finding us a room, but here are the details. It’s Owen 1027 and we have it booked from 11am-2pm. Josh that means that you can make work! Anyway me and Nicola were talking and we think that it is a good idea to meet at 9.30 tomorrow morning to have a full rehearsal – this obviously won’t be in the room but we can use the media base to run through it. This will be WITH the extras so that when it comes to the actual shoot we will be ready to get straight down to it.

PLEASE NOTE that Annie has said that the room we have has lots of windows which may cause us a few problems when it comes to lighting. Please bring in anything that you can think of to block out the light.

I haven’t got Mark’s storyboards, my battery went earlier so couldn’t ring him to bring them down for me AND I don’t have his number saved so I can’t call him to let him know – he’ll be panicking! Hope you read this Mark so you know.

Anyway the schedule for tomorrow is as follows:

REHARSALS

  • · 09:30 – meet in the upper café
  • · 09:40 – by this time we WILL be in the media base and ready to rehearse – we will run through the opening classroom scene first (page 1 of the script)
  • · 09:55 – Maths scene (page 3 of script)
  • · 10:05 – English scene (page 4 of script)
  • · 10:20 – Sean’s sabotage – throwing his homework away, changing his grade to an F (page 6-8 of script)
  • · 10:30 – Sean’s moved school (pages 8-9 of script)
  • · 10:40 – Sex Ed scene
  • · 10:50 – Go to the Owen 1027

We have no time to rehearse the parents evening scene. This isn’t ideal but as it only involves 3 actors we will be ok to rehears it for 15 minutes before we start shooting the scene.

SHOOT

  • · 11:00 – Set up equipment/scene
  • · 11:15 – The opening scene – Jack’s entrance (page 1 of script)
  • · 11:40 – Maths scene (page 3 of script)
  • · 11:55 – English scene (page 4 of script)
  • · 12:15 – Sean’s sabotage (pages 6-8 of script)
  • · 12:30 – Sean’s moved schools (page 8-9 of script)
  • · 12:45 – Sex Ed scene (page 2 of script)

We will then let all extras leave and use the remaining hour for the parents evening scene.

  • · 13:00 – Rehearse the parents evening scene
  • · 13:15 – Shoot the whole parents evening scene (pages 5-6)
  • · 13:35 – Shoot Nicole coming in for meetings with Mr Allcock
  • · 13:45 – Jack’s fantasy scene – his imagination
  • · 13:50 – Pack away equipment
  • · 14:00 – FINISHED!

I have left the sex scene until last with the extras as we all find it funny and have a laugh with it – which is good, but we’ll HAVE to speed it up a bit if we know we only have 10 minutes to do it in. I’ve also left Jack’s fantasy scene until last thing because I know how awkward it will be for you both...With only 5 minutes to do it in there will be no time for awkwardness so you’ll just have to do it!

Sam here is the props list for tomorrow:

  • · condoms
  • · plastic tray for the condoms
  • · posters
  • · a register
  • · coffee cup
  • · whiteboard markers
  • · hairdryers
  • · pads of paper
  • · usual white shirt/tie for Josh
  • · 3 nice outfits for Nicola – think she’s bringing them though!
  • · Items we may have to use to black out the light coming through the windows

I have prepared a shot list which I will bring in along with the storyboards. Mark if you bring in your storyboards I can look at them for a few minutes whilst the actors are rehearsing before the shoot and add them to the shot list.


We have just 3 extras so far, Josh can you contact Emily, Natalie and Ellen again please? And everybody else just try and get anybody!

IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT I HAVE MISSED OFF PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME ASAP SO THAT I CAN CHANGE IT. It needs to be sorted by tomorrow and I need to get some sleep!
