Prior to our shoot we all met and had a talk about finalising all our arrangements. We discussed locations and checked that we had confirmation on the house we were shooting in. We looked at the travel arrangements and got directions from the house owner and then gave the directions to any of the cast or crew driving themselves there.
We checked everything was finalised with our casting and contact each of our actors and made sure that they had received our call sheets and storyboards so that they were briefed on all that was expected from them and what they needed to do.
We discussed the props that were still outstanding to collect. Our main issue was what child’s toy we would use as the object that the mother finds outside. We were told that the actor playing the little girl owned an ITeddy; we decided that this was a suitable toy so we had to make sure that it was all charged up and ready to be used for the shoot day.
Like for props we didn’t have many issues that needed to be thought through for costume but we contacted each of the cast reminding them of what to wear or bring. We felt that it was important to put the intruder all in black as it automatically told the viewer that he was bad.
The envisaged time management for us was going to be very difficult to stick to as we had a lot of shots to shoot when it gets dark, but we had to be back at school by 6.00. We just made sure that we would all follow the shooting schedule religiously so that we didn’t get too pressured with the timing.
We then called it a day and left with our fingers crossed!
