8. Facilities
• I will be editing my video both a
home and in college; when in
college, I will use the college
computers and save everything on
my OneDrive, which I also have
access at home and so I can edit in
both places without having to
email me all the material every
time. Regarding to software, I plan
on using both Premiere Pro and
Photoshop; if needed, I will also
use an external editing app.
11. 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:
– https://www.storyboardthat.com
– http://www.pixton.com [very complicated]
– http://www.storyjumper.com [allows you to insert your own
images]
• Alternatively, hand draw or photograph your storyboard
and scan or copy to insert it onto your slides

29. 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.
30. Layout Plans
• Sketches and digital mock ups using existing
images off google to represent what your
products will look like.
• Sketch some ideas on paper, even if very basic.
Scan them in and add them to the document.
• Use the colours, fonts and similar images to
construct digital layout plans.
• Qualify each creative choice, providing a rationale
of why you chose it; “I used Red because…” “I
have the model looking at camera because…” etc.
33. Script/Copy
• You will need to write out any copy or script
that you will be using. You will need to do this
as a separate document or you can include it
here.
– Magazine articles (double page spread) are
around 1400 words.
– Audio often has between 100 – 130 words per
minute.
– Films vary, but even if it has no dialogue, you need
to script what will happen visually.
35. Production Group Info

at difference stages of production, using a
table is suggested
36. Location information
• Information and images of your location[s] for
filming/recording/shooting.
• This means when you will arrive, when it will be
available, when you model/cast should arrive, when
you will finish, access to food/water, access to toilets,
nearby travel links etc etc.
• You should have address details, clearance/permissions
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
38. 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
