Storyboarding extra scenes

Yesterday in lesson we talked about how to get around the problem of the horse shot. We did think we could put the actors in a trolley or sit them ontop of a car but we realised that this was not very safe or practical. In the end we decided that we will have 2 people carrying the 2 actors on their shoulders running along behind each other pretending to be riding a horse. THough this may still be quite tricky to film we will only need a few seconds of it that we can put in between clips of the horses hooves (to be filmed whislt someone is riding the horse and we are on a quad bike alongside filming) with the sound of the hooves over the top to make it appear realistic. We will need someone to ride the horse and 2 people to carry the actors, we have already sorted this out and they have agreed to help us. The only propblem that we may encounter is that we are having to do this one evening after school as the actors have other comitments at the weekend so we will need to be quick and efficient so that we get all the filming done before it gets dark. Given that we will not reach the location untill 4:15 and the light begins to fade at 5 it will give us roughly 50 minutes to film. To give us enough time (and because the horse is in a different location to the actors) we will film the horse one night and the actors another. We have already storyboarded the changes to our plot and are aiming to get this done next week so that we still have a week to finish editing.
