Due to the short script being created, I have asked two friends to help me film it and they both seem quite keen to do so. However, due to it being the summer, a day for filming hasn't been set (because some of us are out of the country at the moment). As soon as we are all back in the UK, I will get in contact with them again and decide on a day to film. This will be an entire day, as I feel that if we restrict ourselves with time, we may rush a little and some shots won't come out as well as I'd like - causing the need for a re-shoot. We will spend so much time on each shot and try to figure out the best way of filming the sequence - keeping the required techniques in mind of course.
As for the location, our school is open most of the summer and so I will talk to the caretakers and see if they have a room we can borrow. I feel our school is a good place to film as there are many different rooms that are quite large and there are many tables and chairs we can use - perfect for what I have in mind for the preliminary task.
Now, for make-up: there is no need for make-up in the preliminary task, as no-one is harmed (blood) and I want to try and keep it as naturalistic as possible (no need for make-up as such).
For costumes: I haven't thought too much about costumes, as I feel it doesn't matter too much (they are just two men meeting for a chat - no formal dress code or anything). I feel the best course of action is to have the characters dressed in a 'smart-casual' manner, this way they are ready to make a good impression on the new person they are meeting, but they are not going to be 'over-dressed' for it.
The only props needed will be a table, two chairs and maybe some sheets of paper (to make the scene look a little more formal).
Finally, the equipment needed will just be a good quality camera and a tripod. Later, an editing software of sorts will be needed - but I already have that installed on my home PC.
All in all, pretty much everything is ready for shooting the preliminary task - we just need to get back from our holidays and set a day to film.
