The Pre-Production Phase

The shotlists and screenplay and the storyboards are now completed. This will make filming a lot easier as I have a clear idea of what to do when we are on location. It will reduce time wasting on the day of filming and is beneficial for the actors as they know what is expected of them. In an attempt to further reduce time wasting and possible hazzars whilst filming, I have created a risk assessment and a rough time plan for the day. This phase of production is arguably the most important as the aims for the day of filming must be made clear. If this does not happen, it is possible that the right footage won't be captured on camera and I want to avoid re-shooting as this poses major problems to the continuity of the project.
