Week Five - Planning
PLANNING
What did you learn from your planning
this week?
What issues did you encounter and
how did you overcome them?
How did you ensure that your location
recces were completed to a high
standard?
How did you ensure that your props list
and crew list were completed to a
high standard?
How have you ensured your
production schedule includes enough
detail?
How well have you managed and
organised your cast and crew to be in
available when you need them?
Are you on track for the week? If not,
how far behind are you?
What work do you need to complete
outside of lessons to stay on track?
This week I finalised the details of my plan for my production, I
now know exactly what I am going to do when filming as I
know when and where I am filming and I know who at what I
need to film with.
I found it hard to make sure that everything fitted into my
production schedule when I needed it to, in order to make it all
fit in I had to shuffle things around and do more on some days
but in the end I managed to make it work.
To make sure that the location recces where completed well I
firstly found images that showed the locations off best and
showed the exact area that I wanted to use, if no photos
where available I went on google maps and took a screen shot
of the location. I also research the address and nearest train
station and bus stops to ensure that in information was
accurate.
I carefully thought about what props I would need and gave as
much information about them as I could such as what it was
and what it looked like. I also listed my actors and what role
they would be playing.
When writing my production schedule I put as much detail into
it as I could, I included what locations and actors would be
needed on each date as well as what scene we would be
filming. I also included when I would be doing other work apart
from filming.
I sent all my actors a copy of the production schedule as well
as a separate text message telling them what dates I needed
them to film. I had already organised with them when I needed
them but I sent them these as reminders so they would not
forget.
I am on track for this week.
None.
