Production Schedule (final update)

This documentation is evidence of my final production schedule. It shows that my pre-production tasks are completed and in the time that I planned when I commenced my pre-production work. I believe that this documentation will massively impact my final production because, it has kept me organised and professional with completing the pre-production process overall.

Props/Costume/Makeup

This documentation is a standard plan of my ideas surrounding props, costume and makeup. By completing this task, I have kept my ideas organised in a professional manner and therefore,  this can impact my final production by sticking close to my budget in this element of pre-production and pursuing these ideas when in comes to the filming process of the film production.

Sourcing Sound/Music (copyright free)

This documentation is a research task to explore the legal limitations of non-copyright free music and sound effects. After researching the laws surrounding this, I produced a table containing the (copyright free) sound effects and music that I will use in my film production, as well as where in my film I am planning to input them. I have completed this documentation in this manner as it will remind me of my ideas when it comes to the post-production stage of the film production. I have dowloaded these sounds and from this task, I will be refreshed on the specific aspects that I would like to pursue during my post-production work and therefore, have an impact on my final production using these planning and organising skills in a professional manner.

Production Schedule (updated)

This is an updated version of my production schedule. I have completed an extra week and have checked over my other pre-production work. I have referred back to this to keep myself organised and professional.

Contingency Plan

This documentation is evidence of a contingency plan. I have completed it in the format of a flow chart because I found that this way, it gave me a visual representation of what I need to be thinking about during the film ing process. If for any reason there were issues whilst filming, I can look at this to stay organised and reassured in the most professional way possible. My final production will massively impact from this documentation because without it, I may find myself struggling during the filming process. Compared to industry standard contingency plans, I would say that mine is quite unique with a good amount of detail.

Production Schedule

I completed a Production Schedule to help me to organise the tasks that I will complete and when. This document will be re-visited and updated weekly to show the progress within more tasks. I have completed my Production Schedule in this format because I believe that it is a very clear way to display my tasks. Additionally, long-term, it will become easier to update and identify any progress. My final production will impact from this because the visual data will show if I have had any set backs or missed deadlines and therefore, I can evaluate my choices and improve with my production work. Compared to industry standards documentations of production schedules, I believe that mine is at a high standard because of the organisation value and professionalism within the data I've shown.

Shot List (updated)

After checking my blog, I realised that I had made the mistake of ordering my shots in the order of my storyboard. I have realised that by doing this, I will be prolonging the time I spend filming and additionally, making unnecessary journeys and ultimately impacting the budget. Therefore, I have now rethought this mistake and have ordered then in the order of the locations that I will be in instead. This way, I will only be in each location once, depending on how long it taking to film there, and cutting the time I spend on the filming process down massively.

Call Sheets

This is evidence of my Call Sheets. I have completed them in this manner to clearly display the accurate dates and times that I would like each of my cast and crew to be available for. My final production will be impacted from these documents because, as I have said previously, the filming process will be made more efficient and organised because again (like with my location release forms) I have made multiple call sheets that are specific to each cast/crew member. Compared to industry standard call sheets, I would say that I have mine at a high-standard because I am very precise and accurate with the production arrangements and show professionalism within my display.

Shot List

These documents are evidence of my Shot List. I have completed them in this manner because I believe that it shows the clearest view of each shot in order. It gives simple descriptions of each shot that will help me to visualise them. My final production will be massively impacted by this Shot List because, it will help me to stick to the time that I have in each location and keep me organised throughout the filming process. Compared to industry standard shot lists, I would say that mine is at a high and professional standard because I show a clear and detailed visualisation of each shot, that I will take when filming.

Cast Release Forms

I completed some Cast/Crew Release Forms as a legal documentation that will allow me to film my cast and crew. I completed them in this manner to clearly state to each person what they are signing up to do and who they will be working with. My final production will impact from these forms as again, I will be taking no risks when it comes to legal and ethical factors and therefore have a more efficient filming process. Compared to industry standard release forms, I would say that because I have a smaller cast and crew, I have allowed specific location information to each member rather than a general overview which I believe will help in process and keep everything accurate and organised. 

Cast/Crew Contact Details

Once I had decided on my cast/crew, I added their contact details to the chart that I previously created. I believe that this format gave the most efficient result as it is simple and accurate. Compared to industry standard documents, I feel as though this document is at a high-standard because each member of my production team is stated clearly and accurately. However, I know that I have a small cast/crew, compared to industry standard production with, main actors, extras and the technology operators, this task may be quite complicated to complete accurately.

Cast and Crew List 1

I completed a Cast/Crew List in a simple form to initially identify who my cast will be. I spent some time moving the names around to end with a perfect cast and crew. The next step is to add the contact details to these lists. My final production will impact from this simple document as I have chosen my cast and crew with knowledge to their performance and technical abilities to have the best possible version of my short film when I have finished.

Risk Assessment

This is evidence of my Risk Assessment. I have completed this document in this manner as I believe that this way is the clearest way to visualise the potential risks that may occur whilst filming. My final production will be impacted massively from this documentation because I will have a clear understanding of any risks and I will immediately be able to mitigate these, if they were to happen. My Risk Assessment is quite minimal compared to an industry standard example because again, I am producing a small-scale production instead of a large-scale movie. Therefore, I don't have as many risks to assess as a Hollywood producer would have for example.
