Planning

PLANNING

As covered in the lesson. PLANNING is anything that you do before the actual production takes place:

A detailed story outline for your first 2 minutes. This is sometimes referred to as a treatment and should include  how you intend to achieve your film. It is worth looking at the assessment criteria for guidance at this point.

A shot list - this will be easier if you have done your research properly.

A storyboard - not absolutely necessary but it may help you visualise the film better and identify potential problems before they arise.

A shooting schedule - to include locations, times, actors required for particular scenes.

By now everyone in the group should have at least one clearly defined role they can contribute to the group effort. It is inevitable that one voice more creative than the others may emerge at this point to drive the project, but each member needs to be able to account for what their input is.

If you do all these things correctly and make regular blog postings addressing these areas you have a good chance of doing well.
