Production Schedule

This piece of pre-production is my Production Log. I have created this to list all the aspects of pre-production planning I have completed and to also have each section in chronological order of what I established them in. I have presented my production log in the format of a table as I believe it makes it easier to understand and also a lot clearer. I believe that when people look at this table they will think its quite organised and simple to comprehend.

Proof of equipment booking

This piece of pre-production is my equipment booking. I have completed this to make sure I can borrow the equipment from the Media Department at Sixth Form for when I want it, I have also listed the equipment I would like to borrow. I filled in the Media Departments equipment booking sheet and decided to take a photo of it and present it in this way for proof of booking. This will mean I will be able to access the equipment for the 2 days I want to do my filming.

Proof of permission to film in school

This piece of pre-production is my proof of permission to film in school. I have completed this as I thought it was essential to get location permissions as this would ensure I wouldn't get in any trouble. I presented it this way as I believed an email would be the best way to contact school rather than a letter. Getting permission means I have the all clear to film inside school and will avoid any problems.

Letter to local council

This piece of pre-production is my letter to the local council. I completed this as I knew it was very important to ask for permission to film in the locations I wanted to film in or I could potentially get in a lot of trouble. I presented this in a letter format and sent it to the Dinnington Town Council as I believed this would be the best way to get a response from them. This will mean I will be able to film in these locations when it comes to filming day. 

Contingency plan

This piece of pre production is my Contingency Plan. I have made this contingency plan as a backup plan/ plan B. This means that if something changes or plans fall through then I will have a solution for the problem. For example, I have already planned that if the location is unavailable then I will reschedule the filming for another day or try to film somewhere near the area. I have presented my Contingency Plan in a table format as I believe it presents it clearly for people to read. I believe that this will have an impact if something goes wrong because the crew members can just look at this plan and see what the solution is therefore showing that my contingency plan is informative and helpful.

Risk assessment

This piece of pre-production is my Risk Assessment. I have made this to try to eliminate any risks from happening during filming. The Risk Assessment is also a very important piece of documentation that needs completing; if not completed then you can get in a lot of trouble for it. To do this I had to think of all the health and safety concerns that could occur during filming and how these risks could be overcome and the steps I can take to avoid any danger happening at all as everyone's safety is one of my main priorities. All risks need to be taken into consideration and I believe setting my Risk Assessment out in a table format was the most professional way to do it as it also looks very clear and simple to understand. This Risk Assessment should have an impact to stop any danger or health and safety concerns from happening at all and if they do happen the cast and crew will know what action to take.

Location Recce

This piece of pre-production is my Location Recce. I have completed this to state the locations I am wanting to film at and how I am going to get permission to film in these places and who I am going to get permission from. I have presented my Location Recce in a table format as I believe it looks very understandable and straightforward to read. I have also provided pictures of where I want to film as I believe it helps people to visualise how things are going to look. This will have an impact as the cast and crew will already have an idea of where they are going to be filming eventually.

Call Sheet

This section of pre production is my call sheet. I have completed this call sheet as it is needed for informative details such as cast and crew roles, the different camera shots and what outfits I ideally want the cast and crew to be wearing. I have presented my call sheet in a table format as I believe it is a lot easier and clearer to understand in this layout. By creating this call sheet it is likely that people will be highly organised and know what days to come for filming and what they are expected to wear.

Production Log

This piece of pre-production is my Production Schedule. I have completed it to give myself a checklist of all the pieces of pre-production I need to complete to be successful. I have also given myself a target date for each piece of work to stick to meaning that I could keep up with all the aspects of pre-production I needed to do and giving myself plenty of time to do so. I have presented it in a table format as it is easy to follow and as this production schedule is essential to keep me on track it needs to be simple for me to look at. I believe creating this had a big impact as it meant I had a plan and a target for when each aspect of pre production had to be done and this helped me to keep on track.

Budget Plan

This piece of pre-production is my Budget Plan. I have completed this to work out how much things would cost and then I have came to compromised how I'm going to still get the materials I need but without a price as my budget is £0.00. I have presented it in a table format like most other aspects of my pre-production planning as it is easy to understand and doesn't overcomplicate things. This budget plan will have an impact as it shows the crew where we are going to be getting these materials from that are needed such as borrowing the camera equipment from Sixth Form's Media department. 

Release forms

This piece of pre-production is my Release Forms. I have completed this to send to the members of public that will be participating in my short film to make sure they have permission to be in my film and also whether they have any medical conditions or take any medication which would mean I would have to be extra precautious. The form also asks for their contact details and someone else's such as a parent or a guardian in case we need to get in contact with them for some reason. I have presented this in a form format as I believe it will be easy for people to fill in and quite self explanatory. This will be essential as I need to know whether people have medical conditions as I will have to take extra precautions for their safety.
