A filming schedule holds all the relevant information on when we will film and in what location we will film it. We have information on the shots, the date and time, the location, the content and action, the shot type and duration, the costume, hair and makeup, the iconography, the correct actors that we will include and also the equipment we will be using.
A filming schedule is important to have so that we don't get confused when filming and try to keep everything as organised as possible. It will ensure that there is no mistakes made as everything that we need is noted in our filming schedule and therefore we can keep referring back to it during our filming process if we get unsure on anything that we had previously planned to do that day. Although we made our filming schedule exact to the available times we could film we did end up changing the days we we're going to film which shots due to the availability of some of our actors. We still kept the same shots and the content the same however we just planned to film it on a day where all the actors and camera crew we're available throughout the majority of the day. The changes we made didn't have an impact on our film as we still got all the relevant content filmed and finalised ready to edit in class the following week. These changes consisted of switching many of the days round which we were meant to be filming on. We had to do this because the actors that were supposed to be meeting us on these days to film became busy and couldn't make it which made it harder for us to all work out a day where everyone could film. If we were to do this again we agreed as a group we wouldn't use as many actors as there was bound to be at least one person who couldn't make it and this would sacrifice it for everyone. Due to trying to follow our filming schedule we also had to make changes in our actors. This was mainly due to the times set on our filming schedule. We had to think quickly and effectively as an hour after school finished it would begin to get dark which meant we were unable to film. That meant we had to find actors who were willing to meet us at the location at an appropriate time where we could get everything that we had to filmed in the appropriate brightness ready to edit in lesson the next day. These changes caused us some difficulty but we overcome it in the end.
This post demonstrates some understanding of what a filming schedule is and the benefits that it has to a production. The table that you have included, helps to demonstrates some group planning.
ReplyDeleteAim to elaborate on the points that you have included on changing your schedule in more detail, to demonstrate further understanding of this post.
You have made an attempt in developing your points on why a filming schedule is essential to include. But your table only documents 4 scenes, where your group storyboards demonstrate more. Therefore you need to refer back to your storyboards and change this.
