Today the group agreed what script we would be using and the final conclusion that we would use the script I wrote "Once upon a Dream". We went through it and noted any problems that might occur such as props, actors and mise-en-scene due to the fact that it's set at Christmas however there are not to many problems and we can work around it fairly easily.
28th January 2014
After a few more read through's of the script we began to create a shot list for the first few scenes however we still need to finish this off for the whole script. After getting a few scenes shot listed we decided to make a start on the storyboards as we don't have to story board the whole thing and by doing it this way it also gives the whole group something to do. Each member of the group is story boarding a different scene which when it comes to film they will also be able to direct it and take control, this will help us in future projects as we will be more prepared and will have a coherent work flow.

Today we continued on with the storyboards however they are taking longer than expected. At the end of the day they were still not complete but we only have 2 days remaining for the pre production work so tomorrow will be our final day working on the storyboards.
30th January 2014
We continued with the storyboards again and they are nearly done with only a few more shots left to draw out and write about however despite the amount of time they are taking to complete the storyboards our coming along nicely.
31st January
With the storyboards still incomplete the group decided the best course of action to take was to finish them over the weekend in our own time so we can continue with other pieces of paperwork. Two of our members were out getting photos for the recce along with talent and location releases whilst the other two members were filling out the production schedule and risk assessment and with the paperwork coming to a close we will begin filming Monday.
3rd Febuary
Upon going out to film we realized we were missing a few things and didn't have some of the right props to go out and film so after realizing our mistake we sat down and decided to make a props list for each and every scene as well as going over our production schedule so that we know exactly what scene needs what props and on what day we need them. With that complete filming should begin tomorrow.
4th Febuary
We set out today and began our filming in the British Heart Foundation and the Flour and Bean cafe. We managed to film the complete scene in the British Heart Foundation today and also made a start on the cafe scene however it was a little busy today in the cafe so we did not film everything we needed there also the waitress who said she would be happy to appear in the short was not working today so we couldn't film that so tomorrow we will bring in a shirt so that one of the crew can be the waiter if need be. The group then decided to come back and edit some of the the footage we have as we couldn't film any other bits due to the time schedule and when we got back we noticed the lighting in the cafe didn't look great so we might use another location when we film tomorrow if it's possible other than that the filming went well and it will continue tomorrow.
