Shooting/Editing Schedule:

 

The document shown above is the shooting schedule that I have constructed. This gives an idea of where, when and how we will be filming for our frame-by-frame remake of 'Don't Go' by Wretch 32 and Josh Kumra. I have chosen to film in the morning because this is similar to the time the Wretch 32 music video was filmed, therefore if it was filmed in the dark, it wouldn't match the aspects of a frame-by-frame remake.
   Our schedule, however, runs of only 2 days because these are the days of which the camcorder is issued to us and also the amount of work we need to complete in the future. It is important that the filming needs to be completed on day 1, to allow a good time to edit the footage and to distinctively complete a frame-by-frame remake to high standards.
