This document outlines the pre-production, production, and post-production tasks, locations, crew, props, costumes, and equipment needed for a student film project from October to March. The pre-production phase involves research on the film genre, target audience, conventions, developing script and storyboards, location scouting, floor plans, casting, and equipment lists. Production takes place in January, filming outdoor scenes in the New Forest and indoor scenes at home. Post-production in January and February includes editing footage and receiving peer feedback. The project is completed in March by uploading evaluation questions to a blog.
