This document outlines the pre-production planning for a filmmaking project (FMP). It discusses the equipment, facilities, personnel, props, locations, visual planning including storyboarding and shot lists, and organizational planning such as production details, location information, schedules, clearances, and health and safety considerations. The project will involve filming friends modeling sunglasses to create a website. It will use college editing software and equipment over a 10 hour production period. Locations, crew roles, and potential issues are also addressed to prepare for a smooth production.

1. Pre-Production

2. Pre-production Assessment

3. Locations

4. Equipment
• Camera
• Storage cards
• Spare batteries
• Editing software (Premiere Pro and Photoshop)
• Lighting equipment

5. Facilities
• The only facilities I will need are the ones I can access at
college on the computers for example I will need specific
editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe
Photoshop which are both available to me on my college
computer.

6. Personnel
• Crew: The team helping me on my FMP will mainly consist of
a few of my good mates. These friends will also be part of the
cast for my project so the crew and the cast will be the same
people. They will be available most of the days, but I’ll have to
make sure they are free on the specific days I need them. The
cost implications won't be that much as all we will really be
paying for is fuel and some food.

7. Props/Costume/etc
• As the idea for my FMP is creating a website for sunglasses
the only probs/costumes I will be needing are the sunglasses.
There will be no certain clothing requirements as I only need
to focus on above the neck and nothing else

8. Visual Planning

10. Storyboarding

11. Shot List
• Your shot list should contain the sequential breakdown
of what you need to shoot for your video
• It should work in partnership with your storyboard
• It will be your working document when you film
• It should contain the shot number, scene number, shot
description, framing and action you will see
• It should also have information on performers in the
scene and other props, etc
• Shot list template is on Blackboard in the pre-
production folder.

12. Organisational Planning

13. Production Group Info
• Include names, contact info, and defined roles
at difference stages of production, using a
table is suggested
NAME ROLE CONTACT INFO
Herbie Nelson All of it Herbie-
nelson@student.yorkcollege.ac.uk

14. Location information
• Information and images of your location[s] for
filming
• You should have address details,
clearance/premissions for filming, recce photos
and floorplans [including camera, equipment and
cast/crew layouts]
• Where possible, have a plan B fallback location
option
• Assess each location for any issues and suggest
solutions

15. locations

16. Production Schedule
• Your schedule should budget a total of 10
hours for production, that is for the filming
and editing of your project.
• You should plan when you’re filming and how
you intend to use the in class days on your
timetable/class schedule

17. Clearance and Permissions
• Any place you film and anyone you use in the
filming of your video must have a completed
form

18. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
Camera batteries running out bring plenty of spare batteries
The memory card of the camera becoming full Again bring plenty of memory cards
filming at locations near busy roads make sure we are visible to all cars passing by
and only film when it becomes quiet on the
roads
Members of the public being filmed aim to try and avoid filming when there are
members of public around and only film when
its not to busy
