The document discusses planning tools used for a production work including a Fujifilm digital camera to take pictures of locations and storyboards, Google Maps to plan filming locations, IMDB.com for film research and inspiration, storyboards to plan shots, and an Olympus digital recorder to record feedback on a synopsis. Key lessons learned were that storyboarding is important for planning shot sequences and showing the story, and recording feedback provided an accessible way to review opinions on the synopsis.

1. PLANNING
What I used it for? What have I learnt from it? What
have you learnt from using each thing mentioned in
relation to your production work.

CAMERA.
I used the Fujifilm finepix digital camera to obviously take
pictures but of different things, like I took pictures of locations
which we then want onto plan where to have our location. Taking
pictures of storyboards, certain pictures that then I planned to
put onto my poster and website.

3. GOOGLE MAPS
Google maps helped me to plan for location with filming etc. I
planned where I was going to shot for my poster, I chose
somewhere quite close to me and which was easy to get to. Then,
for the horror trailer Google maps helped again to work out
where look good and scary, mysterious location and then if people
could easily access it from their houses etc.

4. IMDB.COM
I used IMDB.com for research as well planning. IMDB.com is a website
were you are able to look at films, they have every film on their so for
research our group used it to research names for films. I used it then to
research the best horror films and why they were so popular.
I used IMDB.com for planning when planning the type of poster and website
I wanted I was able to look at so many films poster as it normal would show
them, so I was able to look a certain ones then which ever I really liked I
went to research even more via the internet. I was also able to look at cast
list so you could see what kind of characters appeared in what type of
films. This helped me to learn more about what I wanted in my production
work and develop my cast list and not just picked friends that I liked, they
had to suit the character and image I wanted to create.

5. STORYBOARDS
Storyboarding is a process that is very key in planning it helps you plan what
you want to happen in your trailer, it helps to show it shot by shot. And helps
you plan how your going to show the story through the shots.
I learnt from storyboarding that it is not as simple as you think it is going
to be, it quite a long process and really key to think quite a lot about the
shots and how it shows the story. In relation of production work I think
that without storyboarding it would have been a lot more difficult to do the
trailer because we would not have no were to have started in terms of
filming.

AUDIO TECHNIA TELEMIC
I have mentioned the olympus digital recorder
before in research. However, I used it
differently in Planning I used it in terms of our
synopsis for The Thicket trailer. We asked
people what they thought about our synopsis
and asked them if there was anything they felt
could be changed. We recorded this because we
felt again it was easy to access if need be again.
I learnt that as said before in the previous
slideshare it a great way to keep information
from people.
