3. Locations
• I'm considering 2 options they are:
– At home with all the interviewees in the same location
– In their local environment that reflects the nature of the interview for
example military interviews will be in an office
4. Equipment
• Camara – to film the interview
• Tripod – to hold the camara in place
• 2 Studio lights – to provide lighting for the interview
• 2 wireless mics – to pick up and record the interviewee
speaking (sound test is critical previous audio was to
powerful)
6. Personnel
• I am comfortable managing the production by myself if
required I might ask a friend to help set up and adjust my
equipment. This is so I can set up and test lighting.
• Interviewees x 4
8. Storyboarding
• Your storyboard should bring your idea to life
• Provide an idea of the sequencing of you video
• Provides a basis for production
• Suggested online storyboard creators are:

images]
• Alternatively, hand draw or photograph your storyboard

Editor's Notes
You need to identify locations and plan a recce.
What are the limitations and risks, eg distance, access, cost, weather? How will you manage this?
What do you need? E.g. equipment, resources? Mostly from college, but who do you need to speak to get this kit? What is available? When?
Look at equipment hire places, etc
Where will you edit your video? Do you need any other specialist facilities…?
CREW: What is you team? Who is in it? What are each team members strengths/weaknesses? When are they available?
CAST: Do you need any external performers? When are they available? Cost implications? Will you have to feed them? Transport them?
Other personnel? Is anyone else helping you?
