To begin with, the class was seperated into boys and girls. To begin to plan our re-make of Reservoir Dogs we had to appoint jobs to people. This was so people to focus on different aspects of the clip we got given. I was appointed Director and so I had to watch the video many times to figure out all the parts that we would need to clearly to know in order to successfully film. For example which character is which, the running order etc.
After appointing jobs we watched the clip over and over again on a projector screen. This was so everyone could be sure to catch the important aspects they needed such as the camera person to get the camera shots correct and for the costume designer to figure out which character was wearing what.
Once we had established the running order of the clip we turned to make our storyboards, this was what we intended to stick to when filming so we knew exactly what to do and when. After this, we began planning the props we need for shooting on the day. Such as the costuming ideas and the props on the table that were in the cafe this was so on the day we could be well organised before filming began.
After discussing all of the above as a group, we decided on our locations that we would use and actually went to look at some of the places that we could possibly use which meant that we could find the best suited places. Once we had done this, the group were ready to film.
