1. Pre-Production

2. Resources
Pre-production is important for the smooth running of a project. It
is for you to go through final development and organisation for
your project before you start production.
The pre-production tasks you do will depend on your project. You
need to undertake appropriate tasks in order to make your project
work.
A production schedule should be in everyone’s project.
The blue slides are here to give advice. This advice can also be
found in the main lecture. Delete when you don’t need it. Don’t
submit your work with this in.

7. PRE-PRODUCTION
• Style sheet
– Collection of potential choice you could make for your products visuals
(colours, image styles and fonts). Provide some indication of which ones you
will use, where you will use them and reasons why
– This should explore alternatives to everything- don’t just include one
option. Look at several potential aspects to include and reference the ones
you plan to use and why
• Layout Plans
– Potential designs you could do for your product using images, fonts and
colours from style sheet

8. PRE-PRODUCTION Colour schemes:
This is important for
any visual product.
Talk about the options
you have, the
decisions you are
making and relate
your ideas back to
exiting products and
your target audience.

10. PRE-PRODUCTION
Storyboard

11. Pre-production
• What are you making? (explain what you have been asked to
do)
• Why? (What is the purpose of making your Film)
• Who is it for? (Audience)
• Where will it appear/on what? (How will audience see it)
Reflection:

12. Throughout my project I want to use
vintage/ VHS filters. This example shows
the common style of vhs filters with the
play text etc.
I will use black and white filters lots too to
reiterate the oldschool atmosphere.
For text I will use bold colours, red and
yellow, and fairly simple fonts.
I want to use various animations, one
being cash falling like this
Another is an explosion
Lightning
Video on video
Text behind something
Doodle animations

18. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Rain – my camera is not waterproof, also lots of my shots are
people doing graffiti which you can't really do in the rain, some
costume is grey tracksuits which don’t look good when wet
Camera – I will bring my phone as a back up as its more
waterproof and smaller making it easier to avoid rain. I'll also
bring a carrier bag to cover it with. Graffiti – I will have to
postpone graffiti shots if its raining or find legal walls with cover
e.g under a bridge. The costume issue will be overcome by
bringing backup clothes or standing under cover till the rain
stops.
Public interference – some activities I want to film might look
dodgy to members of the public. Some shots are us doing
graffiti which often people are angry about. Also, I want some
shots of a large number of boys running with hoods on which
might be scary for some people.
I will make sure all graffiti takes place at legal walls, so even if
people interfere, we aren't doing anything wrong and can
explain to people its legal here. For the shots of boys running, I
will make sure its quiet and nobody's around that could feel
threatened by it.
Annoying the public – For my section covering music I will
have people in the street rapping and loud music playing
on a speaker. This could really annoy people living/
working around the shot location.
I will make sure to keep volumes relatively quiet and tell
rappers not to project too loud. Also, I will choose my location
effectively so that it's not too near residential areas or where
people are working. Also, I will try not take too long at these
locations, I'll try get everything in only a few takes to minimize
the time we are there possibly annoying people.
Resource limitations - I only have 2 cameras available and
one is just my phone. This means I will struggle with
multiple angles and even more so as my phone can't be
connected to a tripod. Also, I don’t have a microphone and
the built in one on my camera isnt very good.
I will ask my friend if I can borrow another camera and also try
find somewhere selling an attachment for my phone that allows
it to be screwed onto a tripod. For my mic issue I will either buy
one or record audio on my phone and sync up in edit.
Time schedule – I need to meet 4 people to make my film
on and it could be challenging to get everyone available at
once.
I will ask everyone's work schedule and find a day everybody is
free, if this isn't possible ill have to film on multiple days.
Lighting – lots of my shots are at night and this could result
in poorly viewable shots if not lit correctly.
I'll make sure to film near streetlights to keep the dark gritty
vibe I want from the night shots but still be able to see what's
going on. I also have LED bar lights that could come in handy. If
visibility is poor with these shots I'll just use as few as I can.

19. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be avoided?
Injury – Some of my shots include people climbing
buildings and jumping off walls and over fences etc. This
could result in injury. I also want shots of people running
through the street, this could be dangerous as of car or
pedestrian collisions.
Ill make sure to heavily choreograph these shots, fully
rehearsing the jump/ climb. Also, I will make sure to do these
shots in relatively safe environments e.g not near rivers or from
height. To make sure nobody is hit by a car I will only do shots in
the road when there is literally no cars. I'll also plan a route so
its not just people running randomly as that could be
dangerous.
Spray paint fumes – for my shots doing graffiti it is possible I
could inhale paint fumes which is bad for your health
I will make sure to ware a mask designed to stop paint fumes,
also I'll ensure I'm always painting in a ventalated area
Rain – Lots of my shots include people running and
climbing and wet weather could make this very dangerous
I'll make sure shots of people running only take place in nice
weather and if possible I'll shoot them under cover still in the
rain
Trainlines – various shots take place track side and by the
station, this could be dangerous as you could get hit by a
train or get electrocuted by wires etc.
I'll make sure I don’t go near the actual tracks or touch anything
around these areas. Also if a trains coming I'll move away.
Shooting in the dark – Lots of my shots are in the dark and
often the camera man will be running. This already is a
hazard as your focussing on the camera not where youre
stepping. This could result in falling over and shooting in
the dark makes this even more of a risk.
I will make sure when filming while running and in the dark
especially, that I don’t look through the viewfinder and keep
checking the ground ahead. Also, I will check the area
thoroughly before filming, removing for example any large
rocks that could be a trip hazard.
Falling equipment – Some shots I will hang up LED lights,
this could be dangerous if they arent secured properly.
I'll make sure to throroughly attach any lights and also ensure
there in positions where nobody will be around them in off the
chance they do fall.

20. Production Schedule
Day/Lesson Tasks
Thursday 22nd april – 26th april : filming Film all shots
Monday 27th : editing First day editing so will organise footage and
compile into logical orders, removing any shots
I feel I don’t need. I will also possibly begin
editing my transition shot that I will use
throughout the film.
Tuesday 28th : editing I will finish my transition shot I began the
day before and begin building up a timeline
structure.
Wednesday 29th : editing I should now have a basic structure of the
whole film and I will begin adding effects, text
and audio.
Thursday 30th : editing from home I will record my narration at home on my
microphone ready for monday at college where
I will begin adding it over my film
Monday : editing I will now hopefully have a somewhat complete
film that just lacks narration audio, so it should
be quite simple to add that in
