This document provides details about the filming locations, risks, and logistics for a film project. It discusses interviewing subjects at home in Harrogate to make them comfortable, and filming b-roll footage at Filey Beach since it is referenced in the production. Risks include interruptions, neighboring work, lost/stolen equipment. Solutions involve communicating schedules, avoiding dangerous areas when filming, and supervising equipment. The document also outlines transportation, crew roles, meetings, facilities used, and initial post-production color correction to warm the tone.
3. • Harrogate
• This is where the interviews for my FMP took
place. I chose to film in my home town because I
think that the person being interviewed would be
more comfortable being filmed in their own
home.
• Risks
• The risks of filming at home is that it can be really
easily interrupted whether that’s going to be a
phone call that interrupts a shot mid way
through.
Locations
Filming Day Time
25th March 19:00pm
31st March 19:00pm
• The solution to this is that all phones are switched off to avoid any interruptions.
• Building work could occur in neighbouring houses
• The solution to this is, before any filming starts talk to neighbours to let them
know a filming schedule
4. 0Filey
0I filmed my opening title scene and some b-
roll footage here. I chose to film here because
within my production the beach is talked
about a lot so I thought that it would make
sense to include some footage of the beach.
0Risks
0Someone could badly injure themselves by slipping on rocks
0This can be avoided by not filming anywhere dangerous unless absolutely
necessary.
0Another risk is that equipment could get lost or stolen
0To resolve this, keep an eye on all equipment/ have someone with it at all
times. Check that all equipment has been brought back before leaving the
location

6. Time
0 When it comes to managing time during production, I think I could've
done better. I had to change when I was going to film many times either
due to a technical issue or an issue at where I would be filming. Because I
had to change when I was going to film it affected all the people within
the production, some people had to take time off work to fit the new
dates. When it came to managing time with written work that also
could've been better. A lot of the written work has been pushed to quite
later time in production.
7. Personnel
0 For my production I have quite a small team helping me out.
0 Mel Nuttall:
0 Job role – sound recordist.
0 Wayne Crick:
0 Job role – Driver
0 Margaret Crick:
0 Job role – Interviewee
0 Toni Ann:
0 Job role – Director/camera work
8. Meetings
0 I didn’t need to set up many meetings to discuss my production because
the story I will be telling is a story about my family so I know it very well.
However, I did set up one meeting the day before filming to talk about the
style of interview I wanted to have. I discussed how I wanted the
interviewee to be positioned in the frame. I talked about how its
important to enunciate her words when talking and not talk to fast. The
importance of changing her tone at the correct times. We also discussed
the importance of how not to look at the camera during the interview. I
didn’t want them to look at the camera because I wanted my
documentary to have the feeling that the audience is just watching two
people have a conversation. I also had a meeting with the driver to
discuss what times we wanted to be in certain areas. Another meeting I
had was with another family member to discuss the name of the
documentary. Lastly I had a meeting with the crew. We discussed times,
locations and dates. We also talked about availability/flexibility incase
we couldn’t film on the agreed upon dates.

0 interviewee
0 For my interview short I wan to
have the person being interviewed
to be on the left hand side of the
screen leaving the majority of the
right side blank. I want to used this
blank space during post production
to edit in relevant photos.
0 For the lighting I want to include
natural lighting, because I don't
want to heavily edit the coloring

13. Post Production
0 One of the first things I did in post
production was correct the coloring.
I wanted my documentary to have a
warm look to it. In the original the
color is quite dark and red. I thought
that it didn't fit well with the style of
story I'm telling. I decided to have
the colors a lot more natural toned.
