Effectiveness of the pre-production process

The planning of the sequence has tought me a lot about film-making,
for example that you have to be flexible
(our group changed our idea all the time even on the shooting day) and can't stick to one idea all the time.
I also learned that planning is very necessary and that this is a lot of work.
We struggled at first with deciding on a final idea, but in general we worked well as a group.

Shooting schedule

We first wanted to shoot all the scenes in Hurtwood and we wanted to go later to Ewhurst to shoot there in the corridors, which we did not do in the end, because we changed our idea and because we were not allowed to go on the roof there. We planned to speak priefly about what we were going to film and we wanted to speak to the actors about what they needed to do. We wanted to complete the dummy quickly and put the wig on it and we wanted the actors to try on their costumes. After that we wanted to start shooting the first shots...We wanted to do 'Billy's fall as the last thing and do some shots of James on the floor after the fall.
