Planning and Organising

I am to film in 2 weeks time. Running up to that, I'm going to film material that can be done at home or in town and applying effects too - this way, i'll have minimum fiddling about to do during the actual shooting/editing time, allowing better time management and organisation. The shots to be done before are very simple but editing them can be time consuming (luckily I've planned out how each one will be done - sources A LOT of royalty free footage).

I'll need to film at The Junction just for a few shots, using the green/blue screen after a couple of other groups as mine may be the least demanding - a stage may be necessary with a grid taped on with duck-tape, allowing perspectives to be correctly matched to sourced footage that would otherwise impossible to film. The stage would also be a good way of keeping the actors feet totally flat to the bottom of the screen via perspectives crteated through camera elevation and angle.

There wouldnt be props. none would be needed as all props featured are found in sourced material. But to be honest not many would be neccasary as the tsory has no proper plot.

For clothing I was mainly thinking of a good suit for the main character, coupled with an eye patch - creating a Bond villain look.
Another idea was just to have casual, strylish clothes mostly in white or grey - similar sterile + sleek bond-esque feel about it just with more understandable clothing.
I even considered doing something as mad as the Voodoo Cowboy's outfit, combining intense patterns and colours with jewelery and nice jackets/trousers/boots - for this music video though i was thinking more of a chavvy edge... Like joggers, trainers, hoodie, diamonds, "go faster lines" and Egyptian bits n bobs.

My back-ups for all of these are simple - bring/make extras (meaning: if I dont have the correct clothes for the mood, I'll have spares to mess about with. If I dont have the right effects/backgrounds/footage, I'd already have collected tonnes to choose from. To stop myself running out of time I'll have many of the scenes already compiled and in quicktime to import into the film when needed).
