EARNEST - Rescheduling the plans

It's come to light that the original date we had for filming wouldn't work for our two actors; Connor is working and Aneurin has a test the next day, and isn't allowed to go out. We're having to reschedule our plans.
Originally, we changed the date to the 8th of April, but that would be too late for proper editing. It's going to have to be some day after school this week, between the 28th - 31st of March. Connor can come down town after school on the Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday, Aneurin can do the Wednesday, which is the 29th.

This presents a new set of problems for filming the first scenes in my house - We can shoot the scenes downtown after school, but it'd be too dark afterwards to shoot the opening scenes of my street. We're going to need two separate filming days, and this splits up our team.

The weather for Wednesday the 29th
The weather isn't as good this week as the week we originally intended, but it should be decent. So long as it doesn't bucket with rain, I think we'll be fine, and the weather for the second day of filming doesn't matter, because they'll be mainly indoor shots. We'll be filming the downtown shots on the Wednesday, and then the opening shots the Wednesday afterwards, in my house.

The actors are going to have to bring their change of clothes into school with them, and on the second Wednesday, Aneuirn is going to have to get the train to Finaghy, whereas our team and Connor can walk there from school.

I am making a fake Facebook account for 'Oscar Hilden' to use during our film for a few seconds and we're filming the close ups of myself and Caoimhe for the cameos the girls provide. Rescheduling isn't ideal, but we can handle it. Even if we need to use next week to shoot the opening shots, I think we'll have it done in time.

Research for EARNEST - The Importance of Being Earnest (2002)

Image
The movie I'll be analyzing today is The Importance of Being Earnest (2002) directed by Oliver Parker. I felt like this was the best movie to start off with seeing as we're building our own one off of the story. This movie won the Nastro d'Argento for Best Costume Design, so I'm hoping to pick up some good tips and inspiration for our own short film. For all other movies, I'll only be analysing the first five minutes, as that's how long our own movie has to be, but seeing as this is the story we're building our own one off, I decided to watch and analyse the whole thing. Our groups needs comprehensive knowledge of the plot line and characters if we want to make something from it. The Importance of Being Earnest is a story of two young men in Victorian London, who use the same pseudonym to escape the restrictions of their lives. They are discovered when their fiancés meet, and brag about how they are both to be married to 'Ernest' This movie is a...

EARNEST - Day 2 of filming

Image
Due to a technical error, the media that we recorded last Wednesday wasn't actually recorded, so today, Monday 3rd of April, we're going into town to reshot the scenes downtown with Aneurin and Conor. Both boys are available to redo our shots and at least this time Conor can bring a whole costume instead of just his shirt. The weather will be sort of the same, and we'll be able to use the same location. We need to remember to get some establishing shots of City Hall too. -- Keeping Aneurin warm between shots Dapper Stork Cinema vs the Elements The god-awful weather So, we redid our filming yesterday, in the same space as last time, but it was really miserable weather, and started to rain. The last time we filmed, it started to rain lightly, but then died off, so we decided to wait it out and just start filming anyway.  But, Mother Nature wasn't on our side, and the rain only got worse. We tried to film anyway, but things were getting very cold and ver...
