A filming schedule is important to have because it tells all group members when they are going to be filming and what props need to be on set. It also tells all group members if they are needed and what they are going to doing so that they are prepared and ready to start filming.
We did not always follow the schedule when filming. For example, we weren't able to film on the 23rd November as Leo was ill meaning he was unable to act. As a result we had to re-shedule and film on a different date. Also, we were unable to get the radio in which we needed in time for that day of filming. This radio is necessary to have in this scene because the antagonist needs to turn it on and is also creates the non-diegetic sound used. We also had to re film the scene with the locker because we realised that Rhiannon had her hair the wrong way so it didn't match the rest of the scene. Also, a teacher was waving his hands in the background making it look less realistic. We also had to re film the scene when Rhiannon walks out of the school because she is wearing a different skirt to when she gets killed and also has her hair down when it needs to be tied back.
In addition, we had to film extra scenes like when she is in the classroom and she finds the note. We did this because we felt that we needed to show her finding the note instead of just looking in her bag. We thought that if she found it whilst getting her book out in a lesson, it would look much more realistic. Another shot we added was when the antagonist knocks on the door and walks in to the room where the victim is laying. This was done as a panning shot to show him walking towards the victim. We were able to show that he is much more dominant and she is only weak.
I have learnt that a filming schedule doesn't always go to plan because sometimes people can become ill or are unable to attend a certain time. I also learnt that to make the film make more sense, you have to add in more scenes or even do a different shot to make the scene more conventional to the genre.
