FILMING ORDER - PREPRODUCTION PLANNING

[The filming movements and shots can be found on the list of shots post]


Key:
Red is all the flashback shots that don't need to be filmed at or near the train station.
Green are all the shots that involve being on the platform
Purple are all the 2 shots
Blue are all t he POV shots
Black is everything else

First of all we are going to film our story cronologically so that the  actors can get a better feel for their roles but then when we will film for a second time in sections and so we have grouped them here.

  1. You don't have timing here. This should really have been planned before you filmed. There is good detail otherwise though.
