2. Managing People
Logistics
I will create schedules which will ensure that people
are at the right place at the right time
Finance
Creating a budget will give me a good overview of
how much each person would cost me.
3. Management of
Resources
Logistics
Creating schedules will help me with the management of
the staff I will be working with.
Booking equipment on time in advance would allow me to
have equipment sorted at the right time needed.
Finance
Booking equipment on time in advance would help me
get equipment when needed and it will make it cheaper
too
4. Managing Time
Logistics
Schedules and storyboards would me manage time
in a more efficient way without wasting valuable time
when on set.
Finance
Also if you manage your time properly you will
ensure that you are within the budget.
5. Being Professional
Logistics
Being on time is one of the key aspects of being professional.
Meting deadlines is also really important part of being professional
Another important part of being professional is keeping up with the
budget.
Finance
Creating a professional budget and creating the budget based on the light
house budget card.
Making sure you stick to budget and paying your crew and actors the
rates based on BECTU.
6. Ensure Progress
Logistics
It is important to sustain a progress so you don’t fall
behind on dates.
I will ensure this by gathering regular meeting and
developing a sustaining progress sheets which will allow
me to keep up with tasks.
Finance
Ensuring to sustain a progress will allow you to also keep
up with costs
7. Managing Risk
Logistics
It is important to manage any risks throughout filming because it could
slow down the production progress
One of the ways is to complete a risk assessment this will allow you to
take into account any risks and prevent them
Completing a Recce also allows you to see any risks at your location in
advance
Finance
Managing risks allows you to keep up your progress of the movie and not
fall behind which will include more money for actors and crew.
8. Managing Crisis
Logistics
It is important to take into account any crisis that could
happen in the progress of making your movie.
I would allow some extra time just in case if anything was
to occur. For example instead of 6 days of filming I would
allow 7.
Finance
Not taking into account any crisis could extend your
deadline which will lead to more money being spend
9. Keeping Documentation up-
to-date and relevant
Logistics
Overtime things will change within the production and I will
need to change my documentation to match the changes. This
includes any storyboards that will need to be changed.
It is important to keep up with changes such as the EDL and
storyboards otherwise you could confuse actors and crew.
Finance
Keeping up with the changes could be costly but at the end the
overall cost could go up if documentation don’t match changes
10. Problems with Project
Management
Logistics
My problem with management started with my lack
of proper housekeeping which made me re-edit
some of the bits in my movie. This was time
consuming and could have resulted in money being
lost.
Finance
Finance was not effected because the problem was
fixed so I didn’t need to ask for extra days.
11. Ways to be Better in
Future Productions
Logistics
I would personally like in the future to use a range of location for my movie
I would also like to increase the range of shots which I use when
producing
The last thing I would like to improve on is to go through rehearsals with
my crew and actors.
Finance
Everything with the finance aspect of my production as done with
perfection.
