Post-Production: Filming Dates & Shooting Preparation

Possibilities for date of filming will most likely be one of the following:

Saturday 22nd December 2012
Friday 28th or Saturday 29th December 2012
Thursday 3rd or Friday 4th or Saturday 5th January 2013

We will have to take weather, cast and crew availability, ongoing events at the locations, and a number of other factors into consideration before setting a date for shooting the opening sequence. There are also many other things which we must have fully prepared before setting off on our shoot, for instance the fact that many of our cast members have prior commitments over the Christmas holidays, thus we will have to ensure that we are all available. Delaying the shooting till after the holidays would prove problematic as our cast is comprised mainly of those who have module exams during the month of January, and leaving it till the next month would be result in a heavily rushed post production, something, I, as primary editor, would rather not be forced to undergo.
