Directions: Pre Prooduction

Storyboard 
As well as doing a storyboard for my self portrait I also did one for my Drama, this is just a very rough sketches of what I want to happen in my drawing, drawing this storyboard helped to make filming much easier for me and my actors. My actors were able to visualise what I want to happen and they followed these directions well. 







Shotlist 



Having this shotlist made the shoot much easier, I had this on me at all times when I was shooting my drama, it helped me to establish what shots I really wanted to capture, this along with the storyboard helped my actors to follow directions. 

Location
My original plan was to film in the woods and in a park, however that became harder than I though because by the time my actors were available in the evening it had become too dark for the camera to actually pick them up in the distance so I chose to change my locations all together and shoot inside a house. I still tried to keep the scenes similar to the original as much as I could. 

Casting
I had gone through many actors, at first I had the perfect two however I kept having people drop out of the production last minute meaning I had to keep pushing my production, I soon the found two back ups but they had also dropped out last minute, I also found people that were not available around the time that I would liked to have filmed. In the end I found two people that were willing to be in my production, however they had not had any past acting experience, but they were willing to try their best so I agreed to use them, in the end they came through for me and did the best they possibly could.
