Filming Schedule
A filming schedule is a timetable that enables each member of the group to follow a clear structure of the process of the creation of the sequence. It's a table that displays what is to be filming on each chosen day and states exactly what is happening and what is needed. It will also show what characters are needed for each individual day as all characters may not be needed everyday. A filming schedule is very important to have in the process of our planning as it enables us to be more organised and also gives us a clear structure of what is happening on each day we film. Furthermore, this would also tell us what we need to prepare and bring to the scene on each day. In addition, it will also make it easier for us after we film so if we need to come back and film anything again due to any errors we can have a clear structure of what we need to do and what to prepare. The schedule will show who and what we need each time for different scenes. The schedule is also important because it will ensure that all members of the group will have a equally good understanding and structure of what is taken place when and where.
We followed the filming schedule with the exception of few occasions where we had to keep rescheduling the days that we film due to illnesses within the group and also ensuring that all members could be present on the same days. Apart from the difficulty in terms of coming to an agreement on the days to film the sequence, we followed everything else that is displayed within the schedule. We also had to film certain parts again because previous lighting was unsuccessful as the lighting was too dark and did not provide the ability to see any of the characters therefore we had to do this again when the lighting was more sufficient. We had to make these minor changes, however because we kept to this fitted schedule in terms of all elements apart from the dates×, our filming was successfully completed.
In the future, to prevent these problems that have been created, we can carry out certain tasks such as checking the weather on each filming day so that we have the ability to see when the weather will be inconvenient within our filming therefore we can choose a day where the weather is suited towards our production. Furthermore, before we create the filming schedule it is vital that we discuss each members availability otherwise it will just delay the filming therefore giving us less time to improve and edit which would then make it less successful. Also, in the future we will plan earlier times so to prevent the lighting from becoming too dark and so that the weather does not disrupt our filming. In the future, if we were to follow these statements then our filming schedules can work sufficiently and prevent less disruptions and delays.
This post demonstrates some understanding of what a filming schedule is and the benefits it has to planning a production.
ReplyDeleteYou have made a start in considering why you had to change your plans, but this needs to be explored in more detail. By reflecting on what you will do in the future.
The table that you have included above, only indicates 4 scenes, when I know you have more in your group storyboards. Therefore, you need to refer back to your storyboards and develop this.
