2. Preparation is important
There are 5 key creative processes that go
into making a film these are:
Script writing
The storyboard
Practice/test shooting
Shooting
Editing
3. Step1: The Script
For the script it should be written down as it is
the only way to remember what your ideas
were. The script does not have to be over
complicated but it should be descriptive
outlining the story. This help us and the actors
know what is going to happen and also
informs the actors of there dialogue.
4. Step 2
As the script has been created, we walked
through it and acted it out to make sure that
there weren’t any problems which would
occur during the final filming we also decided
to act it out in the actual location in order to
see if there would be anything wrong with the
location. This step was really important as it
saved a lot of time while actually film
5. Step 3: Location Recce
We done a location recce in order to diagnose
any problems with the locations that would
occur during filming. We made notes on what
will work and what we will have to change.
This helped us think of what shots we would
be able to use and where the camera should
be placed. This gave us a visual idea and
understanding of where the actors should be
while filming.
6. Step 4: Storyboard
Before going off to film we had created a
story board to help us with what we should be
doing at each scene and what should be
happening at the scene. This was done by
combining the walk through of the script and
the location recce which built the storyboard.
Which was decided upon using a variety of
angles, shots and movements within the
frame.
7. Step 5: Shooting Script
The shooting script is a vital component while
filming as is allows you to plan out the shots,
angles and movements before actually
filming also planning this on you script will
help indicate where each of the shots and
movements should be in the film.
8. Step 6:Test Shooting
We had done a test shooting in order to help
improve our final plans for the film. We
improved the script and the shots that we
had taken through we had found some
problems with our original idea. The test
shoot helped us get familiar with the
equipment and te actors which we would use
during the production of the film. This saved
us time and helped us the improve the film.
9. Step 7: Film Schedule
The film schedule was the final stage before
we began the shooting of our film the
schedule was used to help us become more
organised as a group and help save time
overall. With the film schedule we where also
able to determine how much time we would
be using during our filming and how much
time left if we were to improve something in
the final stages of the production.
