Preparing to Film

Hello! Today, I'm going to be talking about my group's preparations when it comes to us filming our movie opener. 

When we are preparing to film, some of the challenges that we could encounter is making a schedule of when we are filming. Things like our availability and where we live could affect our schedule and slow down the filming process. Filming itself might also be a challenge as we are trying to act and get satisfactory clips. Niliem will mainly be recording while the rest of us will be acting. The easy parts of preparing a film is gathering the props. We'll all contribute to bringing props.

Actors: The actors contain Veronica Madrid, acting as Dr. Elena, Kamryn May as the patient, Claire, and I’ll be acting as both the ill husband and the receptionist at the “clinic.”

Costumes: The costumes that will be used throughout the film is casual clothing, formal attire for the receptionist, and a doctor’s uniform

Props: The props we are going to be using is fake blood, possibly a stethoscope, a computer, stacks of paper, clipboard and a cloth.   

Locations: The locations where we will be filming is at someone’s home and at the school, hoping that we're able to get permission to use the clinic.

Dates and Times: The dates we have planned so far to start filming is January 28th, February 4th, February 11th, February 18th, February 25th, March 4th and so forth. All the filming will take place from 3pm-6pm.

Scripts:

Scene 2:

Doctor Elena: "Alright Claire, I will call you once I get your labs back. Have a good day"

Claire: "You too, bye." 

Scene 3: 

Doctor Elena: "Hello, am I speaking to Claire?

Claire: "Yes, this is Claire."

Doctor Elena: "Hi Claire, this is Dr. Elena, calling from the clinic. I'm calling you regarding the results that we received from your recent labs a few days ago. I'm afraid that we have found complications regarding your heart. 

Claire: "What is it?"

Doctor Elena: "On our charts, your blood has shown very elevated troponin. Have you felt any symptoms recently?"

Claire: "I haven't felt anything, what does that mean?"

Doctor Elena: "Feeling no symptoms while having high levels of troponin could indicate asymptomatic heart failure, early stages of heart failure. If possible, I would like to schedule an appointment with you at another clinic to talk about possible solutions, in 2 days at 6 pm. Are you able do that?"

Claire: "Yes, that would be fine."

Scene 4:

Receptionist: "Welcome miss, do you have an appointment here?"

Claire: "Yes, it's under Claire, for 6 pm."

Receptionist: "Alright, just sign your name on this check-in sheet and you may enter her office now."

Claire: "Thank you." 

Scene 5:

Doctor Elena: "Hi Claire, sorry for the short notice. I wanted to make sure you get treated as soon as possible."

Claire: No worries. What are my treatment options?"

Doctor Elena: A safe and efficient option that I would highly recommend is a CABG surgery, which can help improve your cardiac functions. May I proceed with it?"

Claire: Yes. When can I start?

Doctor Elena: "Now."

Claire: "Wha-" 

Film Equipment: The equipment that we will be using is our personal devices like phones, and a microphone to capture sounds throughout the film.
