PRODUCTION PLAN: PERSONNEL
I will notbe able to create myfilmon myown.‘FromOutside In’haslotsof 1 personshotsof the
maincharacter, whichI am playingmyself,butothersceneswill needmore personnel.
Cast:
For the maincharacter of Sam,I have decidedtoplaythe role myself.Thisisbecause Ican act the
exactway I wantthe character to act and,due to creatingthe film, Iunderstandthe concept,ideas
and purpose.Thisalsomeansthatthe 1 personscenes,usingspecificallystaticshots,wouldbe easy
to film.I wouldnotneedtorelyon anotheractor for thisor a camera operatoras I am alsoediting
and can pressrecord,get inpositionandstart.Thismeansthat I won’thave to findtime where each
participantisavailable tofilm.Thisisgoodasthere are manyscenesthiscan applyto,unfortunately,
it doesn’tapplytoall of them.
For Students1,2 and 3, I will needtofindwilling16-18 yearoldsthat wouldbe comfortable/
comfortable enoughtobe oncamera. I will trytofindbothboys andgirlsand evenothersforthisto
showthe diversitywithinmyfilm.Theywill needtobe okwithactinglike the stereotypical‘girlygirl’
or ‘popularkid’withinthe filmandmustbe ok withspeakingdialogue.Theywill be neededinthe
school classroomscenesaswell asoutside the 6th
formblock(2 scenes).The 2 outside sceneswill
not require themtohave scripteddialogue,onlymurmuringandwalkingawayfromthe camerato
give the sense of a busyschool.Iwould alsolike tohave otherstudentsasextraswithinmyfilm.
These wouldnothave anyspeakinglinesandwouldonlybe seenduringclassroomandoutside
shots.These are mostlyto increase the illusionthatitisduring the dayof school.These actorscan
be of any gender,colour, race or sexuality,just likestudents1,2 and 3. Thiswill againshow diversity
withinmyfilm.
Crew:
In termsof crew I will be settingup,framing/positioningandfocusingthe cameraandI will be
operatingitwhenIcan. This isdue to the fact that I know how I want itto lookand I can review the
footage there andthenadjustwhatI want.For the biggerscenes,intermsof personnel atthe
location,Iwill needsomeone tohelpwiththis.Iamthinkingaboutaskinganothermediastudies
studentastheywill knowhowthe cameraworksand theywill be betteratassessingthe footage and
anglesasoppose to someone whoisinexperienced.Ifeel onlyone personshouldbe okbutif any
extrasor the actors of Students1,2 and 3, have any current/previousexperience Iwouldlove their
helpwiththe cameraand theiropinionsandadvice withthe shots.
Conclusion:
To conclude,thisisthe personnel Iamgoingto lookforto helpme put togethermyfilm.The filmis
somethingthe personnel have tounderstandandappreciateasthey will notact/helptothe bestof
