A Checklist to perfection

Before filming it is essential that a checklist is created, this will consequently avoid mistakes and wastage of time on the filming day. Here a few subjects that my group will need to focus on before we actually start the filming process.
Costume, what are the characters wearing and what will it bring to the thriller, also, how will it portray the characters personality and back ground, for example a business man would wear a suit whereas a homeless man may wear a rough old coat with some ripped tracksuit bottoms and sandals.
Lighting/time of day, this is very important for filming and it can also affect the continuity of a film. We will need to decide on what time of day we should film, should it be daylight, to get away from the stereotype of a thriller opening and to allow a wider range of atmospheric techniques. Or night time, which would allow us to introduce animalistic characters and a higher degree of suspense and thrill.
Props, what props will be used in the scene and how will it enhance the story and support the characters in the scene, are certain props necessary to help the scene progress, such as mobile phones of transport such as bicycles.
The set, this could also be affected by the public, should we film in a busy area with the risk of losing our continuity, or should we film in an enclosed area where continuity is infrequently tested. In addition, a public place could affect the sound, for example, if you wanted a very quiet moment whilst filming, but wanted to include diegetic sound, then a busy high street such as Oxford Street would not be a good location, due to car noises etc.
