Shooting Plan - Bridlington

My Ideas

For the actual narrative of my new wave film, I want to get across the idea of travelling from a busy city with lots of people around, lots of things to do, lots of big tall buildings etc to somewhere that makes you feel relaxed and free. To achieve this, in Bridlington I am aiming to get lots of footage of the sea, the sky and footage of my subject just enjoying himself. 

Lighting

I am planning on most of my footage from this shoot in Bridlington to be filmed outside, in high-key ambient lighting - this will echo the idea of relaxation as it will be soft lighting. 

Audio

Most of my audio will be recorded in-camera, to reflect the new wave style in which most new wave filmmakers did not have the money or a large enough team of people to record audio with profession audio recording equipment and microphones. The audio may be fuzzy, either too loud or too quiet or may even pick up noises that I didn't necessarily intend to record, however this is all intentional in a way. I also plan to add non-diegetic sound in the form of music, as in some of Godard's films, he fades music in and out to reflect the mood of the characters or to add a comical vibe to the film.

Location

As I have never visited Bridlington before filming for my new wave, I decided to carry out some research into some suitable locations for me to film in whilst I'm there. Below are various maps and screenshots of places that I could potentially film in.

Equipment

• Canon EOS 700D
• 18-55mm  f/3.6 - 5.6 lens
• Tripod
• 64GB 90mb/s SD Card

Risk Assessment 

During the shoot, I will ensure that I consider all of the necessary health and safety rules. I will make sure that my equipment is clearly visible to passers by, my actor(s) and myself so as to avoid any trips or falls that may result in injury or damage of the equipment, as well as putting all of it away correctly when it isn't in use.
