Location Recce
When we first had a rough idea of what we wanted our film to be like, we decided a few locations to film it. We thought that when our actress needs to look at an offer that reminds of her of a moment, which takes the audience to a flashback; we thought that we should film it in Harrow shopping centre. Harrow shopping centre consists of St Ann's, and St George's. These were are first locations for that scene.
We also thought that for our chase scene we could do it at the park next our school, Centenary Park in Stanmore. We thought this was best fit for our scene as it had lots of space for the chase scene , usually empty and looks very gloomy.
However we came to realise that the harrow shopping centre was too public and has many extraneous variables that could affect our filming and make it very difficult for us. We also needed permission from the council to film in the shopping centre. Moreover the distance between the Park and the shopping centre became an issue for us.
So we thought of another location which could be more beneficial to us. My partner has relatives that own a beauty shop in harrow wealdstone and right next to that ,she had relative who owned a flat that we could use. There was also an alley way nearby to use for our chase scene. We had 3 locations in one which made it so much easier to film. We only needed permission for the relatives who willingly let us use their shop and flat.

Shotlist
Here is the final shotlist that me and my friend used for our film. It was very important as it helped us film smoothly and quickly with no hesitation about what shot that we're supposed to film next.

Equipment
Choice of Equipment: school camcorder, Sony HD camcorder, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3 or Samsung Camera, and standard tripod.
School camcorder, had limited pace, and we didn't feel
comfortable using it. Our phones had good cameras to record, but space would've
been a problem. As well as using a certain type of tripod to do specific shots
with our phone this isn't available. The Samsung camera was good however; it ran
on 4 AA batteries, which seem to run out with a short period of time, so it
wasn't as efficient we wanted it to be. The Sony camcorder, produced good video
quality, was easy to use, able to fit on the tripod had great flexibility for us
e.g. flip screen. So we chose this camera to record the opening of our film.
