This week I started work on my pre-production planning, I
finalised my idea and planned all of details of my production. I
am know far more prepared to make my production.
The biggest issues that I encountered this week was my time
management, some aspects took far longer than expected to
complete. I spent most of the week working on my script and
storyboard which meant I had less time to complete the other
tasks but luckily they did not take that long. I also had issues
with my actors not replying to confirmation messages but I
spoke to them and get them to reply.
To ensure that my storyboard was completed I first wrote the
script so that I could picture what I wanted to be on screen for
each line. It also helped me to envision what mood I wanted to
set for each scene so I could decide what camera angles I
wanted to use. I also took my time drawing each frame as I am
not the best artist but I still wanted it to be clear.
I now have a much clearer plan as to what I am going to
create, before doing the planning I did not know the specifics
of my production but I now do. I know exactly what actor and
location I am going to use as well as costumes and props. I also
know the full story and what exactly is going to happen and
when.
To make sure that my script was completed to a high standard
I took my time when writing it to ensure that I did not make any
mistakes. I also used my research to present the characters
who I wanted them like making the gang member very
manipulative towards one of the friends. I also put a lot of
thought into it so that it would make sense and so that the story
was clear.
Before planning I checked with my actors when they are
available so I could plan to shoot scenes with the actors that I
need on certain days. I am the only person in the crew so all
that needed to be organised was the cast.
I am on track for this week.
