Corbon Hibberd Unit 4

 I have compiled together a schedule that spans from January 8th 2024 to 16th February 2024 covering both the production and post-production process. I did this by inserting the tasks I had to complete and corresponding it to an estimated time span going down. This results in the final film having all expected features as I can use this as a reminder of what I need to do that day/week.

  I have put together a contingency plan to prevent any set backs/problems from either occurring or getting out of hand. I've designated all situations with a rank of how likely an event is of happening to prioritise correctly. I planned out different ways of preventing these circumstances to keep the film on track for it's release. This ultimately will result in a film more likely being filled with less inconsistencies and releasing in as a well made production.

  I have created a table of all equipment needed for my short film. I have done this to get a better understanding of the equipment I'll need for the film to help when it comes to filming days. I did this by looking through my shot list and seeing what I will need for each scene. Once I decided what I required I looked through different websites to find what I was looking for. I have decided to hire most equipment where easiest. This should help the final film hold a consistent level of standards/quality.

  I have constructed a call sheet to have a full understanding of who needs to be where at what times when it comes to filming day. I did this by overlooking a scene a wish to film on that day and filling in the necessary information. This should help the final film release on time as I am more organised and so are the cast and crew.

I have chosen to create a shot list to with planning out scenes and the order for shooting them. I have done this by listing numbered scenes and adding details of where the scene takes place and who/what needs to be there. I followed this up by giving a general description of the scene. By doing this the final film should be more consistent as for when I return to the same location. 

I have completed tables of information to do with my cast and crew to fully realise what roles needed filling. I did this by asking close friends of mine if they were willing to be in my film as a cast member. Once I had done this I asked them for their information and put it into tables where applicable. This helps the final film have a select cast and everyone can get into character as they have fully decided roles.

 

 

  I have created a location recce to fully examine the factors surrounding where I've chosen to film. To do this I had to research the location and the area around it getting information vital to the filming process. The final film as a result should be more likely to be filmed well as I'm not debating different locations to use.

 

 My 4–5-minute mockumentary aims to entertain through comedy whilst also educating my audience the struggles of clashing ideas. The film is targeted towards teens as they are more likely to be engaged with the genre. The film will be uploaded onto the Jinjasnap Youtube channel as that is where they’re is most likely to view it. The themes used will be teamwork, and overconfidence. 3 young, aspiring workers attempt to create a film, but with clashing ideals and a director in over his own head, that may prove difficult . The characters include; an egotistical, director, an actor who is full of themselves. Finally, there is a grounded editor. None of them are given names to help the audience relate. The film starts with an interview with the director, who believes that the documentary is being made as of rumours that the film is going to do incredible numbers. We find out however, that the editor called them in to expose the director. This is followed by footage that shows off th...

  I have created this action plan to help the scheduling throughout the production and make sure the deadlines are hit appropriately. This also acts as a check list so if something has not been done then I have a reminder that it is yet to be done. I have decided to spilt up the timing into half terms and then further into weeks that span the pre-production window. This will be updated with year 2 closer to the time. I have colour co-ordinated the different half terms and production phases to make it easier to follow. This should make the final product looking more professional (in regard to editing, cinemaphotography and more) as we have all this prep to keep us on track.
