1. SCHEDULING
How did you plan the different parts of your production? Did you use any specialist software or techniques?
What problems did you have?
The filming of my project took place in two separate locations, similar to how things are done in the professional
film industry I did the filming on location in order to save time and money. Before I started filming I first
discussed with my three cast members which days of the week they would be most happy with spending their
spare time to help with the making of my film, I then discussed with the owner of the offices I planned to film in
which days I would be able to come in and film which ended up being a Saturday as the office was open but
there would be minimal staff meaning I was less likely to get in anyone's way or distract them from their work
and no staff members would have to come in on their day off and wait with us as we filmed, the home location
didn’t have to be discussed in as much detail as filming at my own house was a lot less complicated in terms of
availability. After I had the information on the availability of the actors and locations I constructed a simple table
using Microsoft PowerPoint with filming dates and information concerning what would be done on them specific
dates I also had a print out which involved information on what equipment, props and personnel was needed on
these dates. To make things easier I split my shot list into two halves, one document containing shots to be
filmed at the office location and the other containing shots to be filmed at the house, I printed out each
document before hand which enabled me to easily tick off shots that were completed and keep on track as well
as make any side notes on shots I thought may of needed to be changed slightly or edited at any certain points,
which I referred to frequently both during filming and the editing process. One thing that went wrong in regards
to the production scheduling was when one my actors for the office location scenes decided she was
unavailable to take part on Saturdays due to their revision schedule, with no back up actor available I was forced
to change a production date. After discussions with the owner of the offices we came to the agreement that a
member of staff for legal reasons would stay late at the office on a Wednesday so we could freely come in and
film, although we were reorganised with the dates and able to film with no altercations to equipment hire it did
create some problems with the filming as now I felt as if filming had to be rushed in order to not aggravate the
staff member who had to stay late at the office through no fault of their own but in the end all we managed to
obtain all the necessary footage and after analysing all the shots in editing they were all of good quality. Before
every singular shoot I constructed a simple call sheet which gave all the detailed information necessary for that
day of filming, such as dates, times, needed personnel, props and kit etc. By revising these call sheets before
every production day I knew exactly what and who I needed, the call sheets really saved me a lot of time by
providing me with a well structured plan of each different production day.

3. PRE-PRODUCTION
Broadly explain your pre-production process. What went well, what could be improved? How
did you organise and plan your film.
My pre production process involved three key stages, the first stage was my idea generation,
where I conducted research both primary and secondary to find out about the audiences and
key elements of films similar to mine, I then used this information to conduct my own research
and determine my own target audience. I felt that I gave detailed material concerning my target
audience and production research, stage 1 of my pre production was where my first ideas for
my filmed spawned from and I refereed to it many times throughout the rest of my pre-
production especially in the making of my film pitch. The next stage was my visual planning,
this stage revolved more around physical planning rather than research. I produced things like
structure breakdowns, story boards, shot lists etc. I feel that this was the most important part of
my entire pre-production process as it gave me the necessary documentation to start my
production, it allowed me to properly visualise my film and structure it in detail scene by scene.
If I were to re-visit any sections of my pre-production it would most likely be my story boarding
as I felt that although it gives a good scene by scene example of how my films going to play out,
it lacks detail in some parts in terms of showing the exact camera angle. In accordance to this I
added a selection of master frames which were still images depicting key scenes from my films,
incorporating the real shots I intend to capture and black and white colour gave me a much
more detailed indication of my productions final look. The last stage of my pre-production was
the filling in of all the necessary legal disclaimer type documents such as risk assessments, call
sheets and location disclaimers etc. although this wasn't exactly an important creative stage of
my pre-production it was still important to my production as without these documents I
technically wouldn’t have the legal right to film, meaning that some of film I acquire I may not be
able to use, although I found this section slightly tedious I still filled in all necessary sections
correctly and is as much detail as was necessary.

4. PRODUCTION
Broadly explain your production process. What went well, what could be improved? How did your filming go
As this was a college run project and part of my coursework I was able to acquire equipment from college on a
short term free loaning basis, as I already had a camera and SD card of my own the only kit I needed were
standard pieces of filming equipment such as the tripod, slider and shoulder mount, this booking process
gave me a cheap and easy way of acquiring equipment that was of a professional standard, really helping my
production by keeping me to my schedule with the great accessibility to equipment. For the entirety of my film
I only used two locations, my dads office and my house. My house was a lot easier to film at than my dads
office with the office location I could only film after the office had closed and it was in the middle of Leeds
meaning it was much harder for my cast to get their, the great travel time of the city traffic really ate into my
production time as it took me almost an hour to get their from my house, but due to my detailed shot list and
extensive planning I was able to utilise my time productively, enabling me to acquire all good quality shots in
just three hours. I wanted to get all my shots at the office location done in one go as this was the location with
the most issues in terms of availability concerning both cast and location , also a cast member I needed for
just the office scenes was going travelling during production so I really had to make sure all shots were of the
best possible quality as it would be almost impossible to set up another day of shooting. I had hardly any
issues with the filming at my house, and as it was my house any issues I did have in terms of not getting the
right shots or having to re-film were easily dealt with. The only real problem I had with the filming at my house
was to do with a member of my cast, half way through filming one of my cast members had a medical
emergency and was unable to participate in any filming for at least a week, this was during my week off
college where I was hoping to quickly and easily complete all my filming in preparation for going back to
college. In my contingency planning I had stated that if one of my actors were to become unavailable I would
use my back up actor, sadly my back up actor for this role was also medically incapacitated, as a result I spent
the week writing up the necessary pieces of coursework that accompany this film, making sure that my time
was not wasted. When my lead actor was back to full health we were able to carry on with filming and not
much time had been lost. Overall I feel that I captured good quality shots and to make sure I had more of a
choice when it came to editing I acquired multiple versions of the same shot, enabling me to choose the best
shot possible from a wide array, further ensuring the shots quality

5. POST-PRODUCTION
Broadly explain your post-production process. What went well, what could be improved?
How did you edit and produce your final piece?
Whilst at college I was able to use top quality editing software's such as premiere pro and
adobe audition, whilst at college I utilised these editing programmes well and used them
to create top quality sequences. The only real issue I had with editing was its availability
during the half term, nearing the end of the project we had half term at college, meaning
college was closed for a week which meant I was unable to access the editing software's.
The only thing I could do was to buy the editing software myself and download it on my
computer, which I was prepared for as I had the editing premier pro file saved on my
USB but as I was unable to complete my filming in this week due to a cast members
medical emergency so without the footage I didn’t have anything to edit meaning the
purchase of this somewhat expensive editing software would be an
unnecessary expenditure. Due to some of my songs being timed up to music I had to edit
my scenes in order, making sure that certain cuts or scene contents specifically lines up
with parts of the song, a technique that I find to be really effective. This became a slight
issue as I did my filming by location, as I discussed on the previous slide during the
production/ editing stage I had acquired all of my scenes from the office location but only
half from my house location and as in my story the locations are constantly switching
between the two I could not edit the scenes in their specific order. To make sure that
valuable editing time at college was not wasted before my weeks half term break I
decided to edit the office scenes into small block sequences randomly spread amongst
my dial edit timeline, this help to speed up the editing process when I had finally acquired
all of my shots as I was easily able to slot in the already edited sequences into open
spaces in my main sequence, some slight changes had to be made in order to time up
cuts with the music but the basics of the scene were already in place.

6. INDIVIDUAL
PERFORMANCE
Assess your performance in your chosen roles. What did you do? How do you think performed in this
role? Can you think of any areas where you could have improved your performance?
As this was an amateur production and next to no sound was needed I didn’t really have the need for
a production crew, for the production stage I acted as the director/ Dop. Meaning I had complete
control of the set at all times and was constantly behind the camera and examining shots to make
sure everything was perfect and a direct image of my vision. I feel that overall I performed very well in
this role as it was my personal vision and I had complete control meaning no time was wasted in
decision making and I could experiment with multiple different ideas and shots on set, making for
some really creative work. This is the area that I have had most practical experience in over multiple
years of studying film this combined with the knowledge I have of how to use my own personal
camera to its full potential allowed me to utilise my skills properly in order to achieve effective work. If
I were to take up this role again, in order to improve my performance I would act more professionally
toward my personnel on set. As I didn’t need speaking roles and this was only a small production I
used my friends and family members as amateur actors, although all cast members performed
extremely well and all scenes were captured perfectly I feel as if I could have been more direct with
them in order to save time as looking back we did spend during shooting conversing and as it was at
my house on some occasions we would have regular breaks which could have been easily avoided,
but as I progress in this field I know I will become more and more professional over time especially
with paid actors or on an professional industry set. I also took on the role of editor, I used software's
like premiere pro and adobe audition to edit shots / sounds and put them all together on a timeline to
make up one continuous sequence. Overall this part of production went extremely well, as editing is
my favourite part of the whole process I feel as if my passionate work ethic really helped me progress
well in this area, I love to see all the singular shots come together to make a physical representation
of my mental image which I have had since before planning for the film even properly began.
Although I have used premiere pro a lot during my time studying film I am still don’t have complete
knowledge of all the tools and effects the software has to offer but as I did the majority of my editing
in college time I had easy access to help from my tutor and peers, as I continue to use this software
on a more independent basis I will gradually become more and more knowledgeable of all its uses.

7. TEAM PERFORMANCE
Assess how your team performed, did you have any problems? Did they undertake their roles
effectively? Could you have improved performance? How?
Throughout the production process, overall my team involved me and three other people who were all
cast members. I only used members of my friends and family who all knew each other. I felt as if this
would make it easier to direct and converse with them due to out already strong relationship also as
my film is a love story which employs themes of adultery and love I felt that if the actors all knew each
other before hand it would be less awkward for them to be involved in the scenes of a more sensual
nature and express their emotions to each other through their characters, something they all did
perfectly. My story centres around a young couple who at the start of the film are depicted as being
madly in love, in order to capture the realism of the relationship I wanted to use a real couple so I
used my brother George and his girlfriend Paige, similar to an approach that Gareth Edwards took for
his film monsters. There are multiple scenes in my film where the couple can be seen kissing and
holding each other, although they were amateur actors the couple bother performed in their roles
exceptionally well and kept professional in almost every scene, they were on many occasions more
than willing to perform quite sensual acts in front of a camera and provide me with the real life
emotions I was trying to display. Although all the actors involved in this production performed well
especially considering they wee all amateur, one cast member in particular really stood out to me. My
brother George who played the role of Brad really proved himself on camera and many time provided
me with some top quality acting, he was always willing to try his best in every scene and even asked if
we could re do some scenes so he could make sure he put in all his effort and acted the best he
possibly could. He really seemed to get involved with the character he was portraying making for
some really effective scenes, he would often improvise a lot of scenes in order to really grasp the
characters emotions, for example in one scene brad comes home from work feeling extremely
stressed and sits down at the table, when George performed the scene he stormed in and proceeded
to angrily throw his briefcase on the table in front of the camera making for an extremely shot.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING
Think about the problems you had in your production [consider technical, logistical,
organisational and personnel related issues]. How did you resolve them? Did your
contingency plan work? How could you have improved this?
During production I came across a few problems that if I had not taken the time to write
up a detailed contingency plan would have had negative repercussions on my schedule
and overall project, but as I did have a contingency plan I was able to properly deal with
these issues quickly and next to no time was wasted. In regards to technical problems,
during production my camera ran out of battery luckily I was prepared as I had followed
my contingency plan where it states ‘make sure a spare battery and charger is taken to
every shoot’ although I didn't’t have a spare battery I did have a charger so we were
able to continue production but some time was wasted whilst waiting for the battery to
charge, in order to make sure this doesn’t happen again I will make sure that my battery
is fully charged before every shoot but just to be safe I will still bring my charger. A
major problem I encountered during production was both a locational and personnel
issue, I had asked a close friend if she could play the part of the female colleague that
has an affair with Brad at work. The location I planned to film at was my dads offices in
Leeds, as I didn’t want to distract the real employees from their work I agreed with my
dad that filming would be done on a Saturday as it is minimal staff, I agreed time and
dates with my actors but a few days before filming at the office my female actor told me
that she was unavailable due to having to revise for exams leaving me to frantically ask
almost everyone I knew on short notice if they were available for that specific date and
time but non one was, in the end I was able to change the dates to a Wednesday after
the offices had closed, as my brother is an employee he has been given permission to
take the keys for that day. Although I had stated on my contingency plan that back up
cast is needed, as this was only a small role I didn't think a back up would be necessary
so next time I will make it imperative that every cast member has a backup no matter
the size of the roll.

9. RESOURCES
You may have mentioned your acquisition and usage of resources in your broad
overviews above, however, are there any specific issues you encountered [getting
equipment, props, costumes, etc] that can discuss?
As this was an amateur production done through college I was able to use the college
equipment for free, as there is a large amounts of media students needing equipment at
similar times college have created an online booking system where students are able to
choose certain pieces of equipment such as tripods, cameras or light&sound
equipment and book them out on a certain day for a maximum of three days. There are a
couple implications that I encountered when booking out equipment, when I first
booked out equipment the most important piece for my production was unavailable
(fluid head tripod) as college only have a selected amount and all were in use at this
time, luckily I had a standard photography tripod at my house so I was able to use this
as substitute for one day of production, I also was able to re-apply for a couple days
after my original booking enabling me to film over the weekend. Another set back
concerning the booking of equipment came from the three day maximum limit, I booked
out equipment for a Wednesday but I also needed to film on the weekend but as there
was a three day limit I needed to book out the equipment twice which I just found to be
tedious and unnecessary. Another issue I had with recourses was regarding costumes,
as my production involves a wedding scene I needed a white dress and white shoes for
the female actress and a black suit for the male actor, but on the day of production my
actress told me that she couldn't’t find a white dress, meaning I had to postpone the
filming of this scene as I waited for a white dress to be delivered, as well as postponing
that days production it also irritated the editing process as some of my shots are timed
up with music so I had to put in the scenes in order, making sure that the music timed
up with the cuts but as the wedding scene is the first scene I couldn't properly start my
editing process.

10. PRODUCTION
TECHNIQUES
Did you have to learn or develop new skills are part of your production? How did this change or
influence your choice of production techniques? Of the techniques used which did you rate as the
most successful and why? Which techniques were not as you had expected? Why?
During my planning process I looked at certain production techniques used in other films of the
drama genre in order to give me more of an idea of how to properly portray certain themes and
emotions through camerawork and editing. I found that dramas seem to extensively use close ups and
extreme close ups as it helps to highlight someone's emotions or bring viewers attention to a certain
object, I used these shot types for multiple reasons. I found that extreme close ups of objects or areas
involved in the scene helped to break up shots, to make scenes seem less repetitive, a technique I
used a lot in the scenes where characters are conversing with each other. For example after Paige
finds the note and the couple get into an argument, instead of using standard over the shoulder and
long shots from two different perspectives constantly swapping I put in extreme close ups of the
characters mouths and eyes as they aggressively exclaim at each other not only does it break up the
shots and make the argument seem longer than what is being shown but the textures and tones I
captured on the faces of the characters made for some extremely cinematically pleasing shots. Prior
to making the film I pitched my idea to my tutors, after telling them about the scene where Brad (the
husband) violently abuses Paige (the wife) they advised me to not actually show the domestic abuse
as some viewers may find it to distressing for a college project, they informed me of a method where
you film the shadows of the actors instead, so only silhouettes are shown, making the scene a lot less
violent. A problem I had with this technique was the execution of panning the camera to show the
plain wall on which the actors shadows were projected, in order to not show the light that makes the
shadows being turned on or off I had to be extremely precise with the timing of the pan which was
especially difficult due to the standard of tripod I had access to on this particular day, id say
throughout the entirety of the production this scene was shot the most. Although it took up a great
chunk of my production time id say this was the most effective technique I used in my whole film, I
feel it really gave it an artistic edge especially with the distinct tones created by the dark shadows on
a pure white background in a black and white setting.

11. MONITORING AND
REVIEW
How did you monitor and review the progress of your project? Essentially, how did you track the project to keep it on
deadline?
Throughout the entirety of this project there were three main stages that I needed to work on, pre-production which
involved all my planning and idea generation, production and post-production editing. The first stage I had to go through
was my pre-production, this is where I came up with different ideas that slowly evolved into my final idea, after I had my
idea I had to conduct production and audience research as well as produce multiple vital planning documents such as a
story board and shot lists, a key factor of this stage was the project schedule I produced which gave me an idea of how
long I needed to spend on each stage of production. Out of all the stages, pre-production took me the most time but for a
good reason for example a large chunk of time spent on my pre-production was on the physical planning of my film with
documents such as my structure breakdown, story boards and shot lists, I made sure that all of these documents were in
as much detail as possible as I knew from past experience that it would greatly spear head both my production and post-
production process as Id know what every shot needs to be and exactly what I need to capture in each frame. I wanted to
make sure that this key stage of my project was not rushed as it could have a negative effect on the efficiency of my further
stages in production, but as it was starting to eat into my post-production therefor putting me off schedule I then decided
to make sure all post-production editing was done in college and all pre-production written work was completed at home.
Although collectively it didn’t take very long I would say the hardest stage to properly organise was the production stage, it
was the hardest to organise as there were so many different parties I had to rely on such as the actors and owners of the
location. Before filming I first had to make sure that the actors were available, as all three of my actors worked full time or
had exams to revise, which made finding time to film quite difficult, as well as having to rely on my actors availability I also
had to think about the availability of the filming location as some scenes take place at the husbands work which in reality
are private offices so to be aloud in their to film I needed permission and at least one member of staff had to stay behind
,making organising a few hours to film their a slight ordeal. To make sure that everything was in order for a day of filming I
had to fill out some specific documents, such as the location release form which is a form that myself and the owner of the
location signed stating that me and my actors have permission to enter and film on the premises on a certain date, I then
produced a call sheet which gave all the key information of a day of filming such as time, date, location and necessary
personnel, having a set date and a detailed plan of a shoot really helped speed along the production process. Whilst doing
my editing it was important that I kept on track with what I was doing with all the different files I was working with, after
organising my mp4. Files everything became a lot more easier. When I first started editing I downloaded the files into
separate folders enabling me to find them quick and easy as they were always linked to the editing software. To monitor my
own progress with what I had edited and not edited I produced a footage log, this was a document that kept track of all the
footage I had shot and sated whether or not I had used it in my film, I filled it in as I went through my editing process, for a
more detailed analysis of my editing process I took screenshots of all the key stages of editing and put them on a
PowerPoint.

12. EARLY VERSIONS OF
YOUR FILM
Explain the process that you went through in order to complete your final film. This should consider your
choice of interim screenings and what feedback you received, how you used this feedback and whether it
affected your final film.
There were two instances in which I received feedback from my tutors where they advised me to make
some slight changes to my film, although some may find critical feedback to be a negative I feel that it
helps me evolve my work and try knew things, overall giving me more experience in different parts of
production. Throughout the entirety of my film the song 'Bang Bang' by Nancey Sinatra is played, I slowed
the song down to 60% of its original tempo which made it longer enabling it to fit into my sequence whilst
also giving it a very sombre tone which helped to emphasise the dark themes shown in my film such as
broken love and domestic abuse. Half way through my sequence I ran out of song, I tried slowing it down
more but this just gave it an extremely low and bad sounding tone so I tried cutting up the starting
instrumental and filling in the spaces with that but I was unable to properly sync them up and the song
had no continuity. After asking my tutor for help he told me to find a new instrumental for the last half of
my film and add it to the part of the sequence where the couples relationship starts it demise in order to
highlight this sudden change. I added an instrumental made up of distressed continues sounds at the part
where the husband first cheats on his wife which makes their relationship slowly deteriorate, the new
instrumental I added made for a really effective second half of my sequence as the abrupt beat times well
with cuts and the dark atmosphere created by the music emphasises the emotions of the final scenes very
well. After completely finishing my sequence it was very much over the maximum length of 5:00 minutes
as it stood at 8:30, during the editing process I knew it was going to be over the allowed time but I felt that
nothing could be cut or changed as it would potentially damage the storyline and not explain everything
as well as I wanted, after discussing this with my tutor he explained to me that cutting down a film by quite
an exceptional amount of time was a standard part of the editing process within the professional film
industry, with this in mind I analysed my film and made notes on what shots could be cut down or taken
out although it affected my music and cut sync ups I was able to easily resolve this as the songs I chose
both have quite repetitive beats, after cutting down an array of different scenes I was able to knock off 2
minutes from my final sequence, although this was still not within the maximum time limit my tutor still
accepted it.

13. FINAL FILM
Assess your final film in the following areas; technical qualities, creative qualities and whether it fit your plan. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses
of each area and suggest how you could improve it further…
Overall I am very happy with how my film has turned out, I feel that I have used certain production techniques well and have edited in a professional
manor, although there some parts of my film that I am not as pleased with as I am others. In terms of technical qualities there were a lot of things I
was pleased with, especially my editing. From even before I started properly getting in to the planning for my film I knew I wanted music to play
throughout, with the knowledge I had from doing music videos last year and some further research I knew that fast cuts synced up with music as well
as being extremely visually pleasing also create a great deal of tension amongst viewers which is an emotion I wanted emphasised in my film. My
favourite use of this editing technique is in the scene where Paige attempts to leave brad but she is violently grabbed on her way out, flashbacks of
brads domestic violence goes through her head as the quickly grabs the rolling pin before viciously hitting brad over the head with it, the quick
transitions between a close up of Paige's frightened face and her memories of domestic violence really creates tension as the audience can literally
see what's going on in her head as she frantically looks for something, giving the audience a slight idea of what's going to happen leaving them to
anxiously wait, as well as creating tension within the scene this part of the sequence also works really well as an abrupt drum beat begins to sound at
this section of the song as this is the first time a low drum sound has happened throughout the whole film it indicates well that something drastic is
about to happen. As this was an amateur production done through college I was given almost unlimited access to a wide array of professional
equipment such as sliders, tripods and shoulder mounts, I feel that I used all pieces of equipment properly and to their full potential in order to
capture really effective shots, the most important resource throughout my entire filming process was the fluid head tripod, I used it for almost every
shot and the way I could easily pan and move the frame with such accuracy and almost no camera really help me acquire some professional style
shots. There is one piece of equipment that almost constantly let me down, which was the standard photography tripod which I used when the fluid
head was unavailable due to it being intended for photography the tripod was almost completely unable to move fluidly and was constantly causing
camera shake or abrupt stops in the panning, using this piece of equipment greatly ate into my production time as I was regularly having to re-shoot
shots.
During the planning stages I was constantly researching production techniques, finding information that ended greatly helping me with my
production as I used a lot of certain techniques which really gave my film a professional look. My film is centred around the issue of domestic
violence so obviously I was intending to include scenes where the characters can be seen beating one another, after explaining this in my pitch I was
advised not to show this in to greater detail as many may find it distressing. Instead of blatantly showing the violence the camera pans to certain
empty space on the wall where the characters shadows are displayed as brad hits Paige and throws her to the floor, although it wasn’t part of y
original idea and at first I thought it may take some of the realism from the scene I feel that this technique really gave my film a creative edge as its
something different that viewers wouldn't really expect and the great contrast of dark silhouettes projected on a plain wall make for a really
cinematically pleasing shot. If I were to do this shot again there is something I would change, when I first filmed this shot it was when I didn’t have
access to the fluid head tripod so the pan from the argument to the plain wall is slightly jolty, although I mostly fixed it in editing it still looks slightly
shaky, I would also turn on the light that projects their shadows sooner as you can slight see when their shadows first appear which somewhat
diffuses the illusion of a real setting. During the early stages of production we watched the 2006 film 'Pan's Labyrinth', the film follows the story of a
young girl who switches between the real world to one of fantasy in a kind of escape from the problems of the Spanish civil war. In this film the
directors used a technique in which he would change the colour tone of a scene to create meaning, in the real world setting he uses a dark blue filter
to connote dark and sombre themes and in the scenes where the girl enters fantasy world the frame is more of a warm red/orange colour. I found this
to be really effective and planned to use it in my film, as my film was in black and white I couldn’t use the exact method but came up with a similar
approach, as the film went on and the young couples relationship became more and more emotionally toxic I changed the brightness of the scene to
connote how things were getting darker and darker in the lead up to the domestic violence. I feel that I executed this technique very well and am
extremely pleased with the result
