The new 'One day ' trailer was also very interesting to watch and has given us another source of inspiration. As did the Birmingham university location where we shot our first few shots.
We are planning to complete our trailer this week, in order to do this we need to shoot intensely over this next week.
due to techniqal difficulties , we will have to re shoot some of our existing footage because it was too shaky and not clear enough.
we had a change in or cast line up due to some of our original actors not being able to make it to the shoots. our cast now is - The bullies : Aqib , Zakariya , Asad and saif.
and the victims : Mobeen and wadud.
While shooting we also found that the use of two camaras was very useful as each camera gave us a unique dimension and a diverse range of shots.

Monday 9th Nov - Friday 13th Nov

This week we have completely organised the schedule and step outline of our production.
We had a meeting at Thursday 12th of November to finalise the step outline and structure of our shooting , this meeting was productive as we also got a chance to discuss final locations and adjusments to cast members.
On friday me and yasser visted Birmingham University in order to see exactly where we were going to shoot. This was really useful as we gotto explore the university and see were we would be able to get our best shots and which locations would fit our brief well.
Were going to begin our filming tomorrow morning at our first location . We hope to get half our main shots completed tomorrow due to the full day advantage that we have.

This week we have successfully co ordinate the next few steps that our group is going to be taking in order to create a successful 3minute trailer.
We have distributed responsibilities for example it is my job to write the step outline and script as well as schedule our filming times.
I have begun work on the final script and i have completed the step outline . As a group we have nearly finished making our final adjustments to the shot by shot planning we did , just leaving us to adjust a few undecided camera angles on the first and 15th shots.
We had a meeting last Friday were we discussed locations and saw pictures of possible sets that Wadud (who is primarily in charge of finding locations), we now need to go see the locations we have shortlisted and make the final decisions as a group.
we also discussed props and organized a car that will be essential to the flow of our trailer. This responsibility has mainly been given to Yaser who will be organizing the timings that the car will be available.
Furthermore, this week has been pretty productive and has mainly been devoted to organising key elements of the trailer. We intend to start the practical elements of our trailer from week commencing the 9th November.
