Planning Issues I will face and overcome
Planning For Theoretical Problems
Problems I may encounter when
researching and planning
Cant contact an expert on my genre / field
of work
Target audience is too broad
Eg. Too many ages in one category or an
overflow of information and pointers to
include in my production / research
No useful response to surveys
Unable to find any books or written work
Planning for practical and technical problems
iPad loses storage
No suitable shooting location for a hospital
Camera battery dies / Camera stops
working on filming day
Difficult schedule with actors
Weather Disruption
Storage issues
Unsaved Edit of Production
_ X
How I plan to resolve these problems
Do extra research on interviews with
professionals - Research more techniques
Research their work instead and take notes of
any pointers or lines within the work to follow
and add to my own
Limit main work and research to the most
popular age group within my target audience
[eg. My film could appeal to people 16 - 45, but
the main audience could be around 18 - 25
people
Gather a responsible group of people who still fit
my target audience and send the survey to them
Analyse more videos and pointers, Or go back to
look at interviews
Save each frame I draw / animate to my USB
stick and my laptop just in case I lose any
frames or work while in the process of editing or
Create a mock scene from materials I already
own / buy materials
Bring extra camera / phone with storage in case
I cant film
Direct shots that can be filmed on different days
and plan scenes which include actors on
confident days of availability
Most of the filming will be done outside and rain /
bad weather suits the atmosphere I am for. If
days are not as planned, either find another
suitable day or colour correct when editing if no
days work
Empty SD card / Buy an extra SD card just in
case
Same with the USB stick
Save regularly and organise save files when
editing and not editing

Mid Production [after research] Check Up

Some of my struggles lay in the technical work of it all. I wasn't confident in the aesthetic
that I was going for as while I was researching, I found great inspiration for my short, but no
useful edits or features to include in the future editing process. I was happy with the vieo
research i had put in, in reference to Petscop and The Walten Files, but was discouraged
as I couldn't research further on Local 58 and The mANDELA cATALOGUE as i felt those
related to my aesthetic and how my production would be set up. However I was still able to
support my production with the rest of my research. Another issue I had was facing my
location. I wasn't sure on how I would plan with filming. I found that finding a location of a
plain white room, or one similar to a hospital that I could film in. That would be something
that I would figure out when my planning started.

End of Production - Check Up

I struggled with animation throughout the beginning of planning, more so in the 2 weeks of
half term and the following week after, as I had lost the iPad I was using to animate. I was
unable to create any work for my short film and felt useless for the weeks that I had nothing
to do. I was given a WACOM style tablet from the college to use but found it to be too
difficult to use for the time frame I had and the energy it would take to create the many
frames I would have needed for the short. Luckily I had found the iPad in time to still
animate and have time to edit. Another struggle I had was how I was filming with my actors.
One of my actors had contacted me the morning of shooting telling me he wasn't able to
come in, however the script was able to be changed as he only had a background role for
aesthetic purposes so it wasn't much of a loss for my short. I then found out about 10
minutes after filming ended that he was at college and told me he was able to film but we
had then finished so i used the footage i had filmed for the final short.
