Based on the trial and error of the rehearsals I

made a few notes on what I wanted to too


happen on set as the actors played out the shot.
For example where it says: Ridley sits down
before he says In Life
Beneath that I then have the notes I took on the
day.
The first point Jeffrey wanders towards Ridley
looking him closely in the eye is what is written
in the shot-list. The arrows beneath that are then
possible alternatives to that due to the location.


For this scene the notes detailed are the ones that
occurred on set.
I outlined how I wanted to shoot certain lines
that I felt held great emphasis.
At the bottom:

CU of J leaning on bed
That is me keeping count of what is left to film of
the scene so that I could update the cast and crew
to keep them motivated.

Just like Scene 7 above all notes were made on set.
In the same format of alterations from the shot-
list and notes to myself of extra shots to include,
i.e.: Cut to close up of J picking up bottle
As originally Jeffrey was supposed to kill the
waiter with a lamp, but we didnt have one and
so I improvised with what we had on set.


To refrain from getting out and putting away the
track and dolly, we decided to leave all the
tracking shots to the end.
During a break I made a list of all the tracking
shots we needed to do within each scene (based on
the shot-list) so that we could stay organised and
focused.


Notes of how the scene should be carried based on
what I have decided on set as the actors run
through the scene before we hit record.

At the bottom of the page is me noting the
additional shots that I did.

This, Like in the Hotel is because I hadnt seen
the location prior to filming and so I discovered
new shots that would be effective, something that
occurs regularly as we filmed in the hotel.








The location we discovered we filmed this shot
was a lot narrower than anticipated and so I had
to improvise by getting in a few extra shots than
the original One Shot.
I sometimes write in visuals as I cant get the
words out. Once I have drawn what I can see in
my head it then makes it easier for me to put the
words down.














This is more of the same layout as my other pages,
deciding on how to action shots based on run
throughs.




Due to the layout for the theatre interior, all
scenes not on stage had to be winged this is my
quick list of the shots I needed for the scenes.


Left: Again this is me making notes of shots to add/adjust that werent on the shot-list or script
Right: As time was fast spent I took a moment to write what was left to do and number them by
their importance, so I knew which ones to prioritise.

Left: All notes made on the day, changes needing to be made and things for me to remember.
Right: In brackets I jotted down the props that we would need. On the day I have the time that
Josh needed to leave and then more on the day suggestions to make the most of the location
