Learning Aim D: Pre-Production Evaluation Plan

Image
I've done this activity because I needed to create a plan for all of the things that goes into pre-production and create a paragraph for each thing describing what everything is and why it's important to include them into the production and the plan. I created this document on word by adding pictures, tables and screenshots where necessary because it shows different versions of each thing comparing a real life example versus my example. I think this will have an impact on my film because I can compare different images and the film can work out well.

CAST AND CREW

  I've done this activity so I can show how to make a cast and crew form because it's important to show people who will be in a film and who the crew members are. I've completed this activity on a word document as it's easier to create tables for the different columns. I think this will have an impact on my work as long as nobody drops out of the film.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULE

Image
I've completed this activity because I needed to set up a schedule that I need to follow in order to make my film during the pre-production and the post-production process. I made this on excel because it's easier to add boxes and colour code them. I think this will have an impact on my work because I could stick to a schedule that is easy to understand.

Learning Aim A: Pre-Production Report

  Pre-production report My aims of the report are: ·          To go into detail in each section. ·          Explain as much as I can. ·          Everything flows. Pre-production : work done on a product, especially a film or broadcast programme, before full-scale production begins. Pre-production is just as important for non-scripted work as well. Even if you don't have a script, you need to figure out the message or story that you're trying to convey to your audience. It’s important to be careful with budgeting and how you spend because for example ‘Monsters’ film budget was $500,000 and the filming equipment costed $15,000 and the production budget was “way under” $500,000 compared to ‘One Mile Away’ as the budget was over £20,000 as it was initially funded and it was a documentary about gangs that are based in Birmingham so the cast and crew didn’t ...

LOCATION PERMISSION

  Location permissions           Location Permission needed from Format of request Permission required Home (upstairs) N/A N/A Yes Woods Council Email Waiting I've done this activity because I need permission to film at certain locations and writing things out to send to the person who owns the locations. I created this document on word by creating a table chart because it'll be easier to understand what to do. I think this will have an impact on my film if everything goes well and if I get all yes then the filming process will cause no problems.
