planning
Location
I have decided that I will shoot my film at my house. The reason why I have decided
to film at my house is that I know the location like the back of my hand so I would
know all of the risks I would need to state also I wouldn't need to pay for the location
to film because it is my house so I get to use it for free. There are some risks at the
house/set such as the cellar, there is sharp corners of wood and stone so we would
have to make sure we don’t cut ourselves on the corners. Also you could slip down
the stairs so if I wanted to do a scene on the stairs we would have to be carful. I
wouldn’t need t worry about the weather much I only have a few shots outside so I
would do them shots before it gets dark or rain, I don’t really need to worry about
the weather if I do the first scenes outside. My location isn't big so the distance to
each set isn't big. I have also have to have some breaks so I would take breaks for
lunch and also a snack break.
Location
Green screen studio.
In here I am wanting to
film my news anchor
scene. I will have someone
reading Infront of the
screen and then I can mak
the set around him.
Class room
In here I will be doing all of
my editing. It has apple
iMacs in it which is good
for editing
Finance
For equipment I don’t need to buy anything because I am going to borrow them form
college and I don’t need to pay money to rent them from college so I don’t need to
worry and money for equipment. I don’t need to travel to my location because the set
is in my house but the people helping me Josh is editing a lift from his family so he
doesn't need to pay for transport and Jay is going to drive to my house so he will have
to pay for gas money. I don’t need to pay my cost and crew because i am helping them
in their films and I am also providing them with food and drink. I also don’t need to pay
for facility hire because it is my house so I don’t need to pay anything.
Time
I have to make sure that all my deadlines are in time making sure I have time to:
• Enough time Shoot my film at my desired location.
• Enough time to do some reshoots if needs be
• Enough time to compose my score for the film
• Enough time to edit my film and do my effects
• I need to leave time doing my paperwork such as my planning and evaluation
• I need to make sure I get my equipment for my dedicated time slot so I would need to book out
the equipment ASAP
• I need to make sure everyone is available for my allocated date
• I need to make sure that I have a spare date free just incases I cant film that day
• I need to make sure I hand all of my work on the deadline
Personnel
I already have my cast and crew to help me film. It isn't really big it is a 3 msn crew which consist
of me (Luke Simpson) and my friends Josh Eastham and Jay Birkin. I have already allocated them
rolls for wen they arrive on set, I need some to be a camera man, producer, assistant director
and sound man. They all have the same experience I have with all this equipment which is the 2
years we have been at college for. I have made sure that the day I am filming they are all free to
help me and I don’t need to pay them because I am helping them with theirs and I am providing
them with lunch and snacks. Personnel Character

Meetings
I have had a few meetings with my cast and crew. One of them at college a couple days before
we stated filming making sure they know what time they need to arrive at my house and what
they need to bring with them, making sure I know how they are getting there so I can make sure
everything is ok before they arrive. We also ad a meeting on the day, making sure they know
what they are doing and making sure they know the script and know their rolls and what they
need to do with the camera with each scene. My fist meeting was around 10 mins and my
second meeting was around 15 mins. I also have had a meeting with my old music teacher who
is helping me compose my film. We have talked about what genera of film it is and what would
sound good in the film and what other films use in my genre of film. This meeting was around 20
mins
Facilities
Th production equipment I used to shoot my film where
• 600D Camera and battery
• 600D Battery (additional)
• 600D Battery Charger
• SD Card VIDEO
• Tripod
• Handheld Audio Recorder
• RODE Shotgun Microphone
This production equipment are as basic as you can get for a film, they are good enough to shoot something in decent quality.
For post production I will be using an apple imac, this is what we have a at college. Also at home I will use my alianwear PC. I
am going to edit on Adobie premier pro and I will also use photo shop for some essets for my film.
Post production
For post production I am going to use Adobie Premier Pro and Adobie After
Effects. I have been using these two programs for two years so I am used to
them. For my audio levels I am going to make sure they are in them middle
or just above, some may be quite high but that is intentional because there
are some scenes that I need to be quite loud. For transitions I will use simple
cuts because they work well I and I am going to cut to the score I am going
top make. Also for the score I want to try and implement some sound ore
something in it to like a drum hit for knocking or something like that. I am
going to have my colure quite dark using a lot of dark blues and black and
greys. I want to try and imitate David Fincher. There are VFX I want to do
such as POV CCTV effects so do some cool overlays and effects to make it
look like a CCTV shot
Health and safety
There is a lot of things I need to make sure is safe before I start to shoot my
film at my house. I need to make sure that I know where all the hazards are
around the set such as sharp corners, wet floors, loose floorboards and so on. I
need to make sure that all the wires are taped down so no one will trip over them
and hurt themselves or damage the cameras. I need to make sure if we
shoot outside and it looks like it is going to rain and need to shoot under cover
like a gazebo or something. When I am editing I need to make sure that I take
breaks so I don’t get eyes strain and feel dizzy and sick. I need to make sure that if
I have a drink while editing that I don’t put it near the computers because I
might spill it and I ma9ight electrocute myself.
