Location Plan

Location Plan

This documentation shows evidence of a location plan. A location plan is used by film producers when scouting for locations. It includes a list of all possible locations, how they would get permission from the landowner and if they have yet been granted permission. Most of the time, film producers request permission for multiple possible filming locations in case a location owner says no, or a certain location suddenly becomes unavailable whilst filming, leaving a film producer to possibly use a backup location. This documentation is useful because it is a good way to stay organised whilst scouting for possible locations as all options are in one place and your plan includes all the details that you need. If you create a plan, then as a film producer you get to make choices and decisions, rather than leaving your location up to chance. When choosing a location, a film producer should consider the amount of cast and crew they will have, if the location has enough space for the equipment needed, if it has access to parking/toilets/catering/electricity and if it suits the plans that the film producer has for the scene's mise-en-scene. I have completed my location plan as a table because it is efficient and easy to read. It displays all information needed in an organised and simple way. An organised and simple location plan will make the preproduction process much easier when choosing the right location for you. By choosing to create a location plan, my final production will be impacted because I will use this plan to help me decide the right locations for me to film in and also it allows me easily to check if I have permission to film in my desired locations. My final production could be very different depending on the locations I choose to film in. A location can affect the mise-en-scene, the filming process and the overall look of the scenes filmed in those locations.  My location plan is professional but not industry standard. This is because I have included all the relevant details about what I need to know when scouting for locations. However, my plan isn't industry standard because there isn't a right way to create a location plan and a lot of film producers do it differently.

Action Plan

Action Plan This Excel document shows evidence of my final action plan. An action plan is a plan that includes all of the tasks that a film producer has to complete during the pre-production process to be able to successfully produce a film, it also should include how long each task would usually take to complete. Most of the time film producers, include a target date on when the want to start each task because that will help them stay organised and productive. Some film producers also make note on if a task relies on another task to be completed, this way they know they cannot start a certain task if they have not completed the other. An action plan is essential for every film producer because it displays the plan for their whole pre-production and organises the entire process in a way that is easy to understand and read. It also helps a film producer stay on track and on schedule which is essential because If a film producer falls behind schedule or forgets to complete a task the...

Production Log

Production Log This document shows evidence that I have completed a production log. This log is similar to a diary in by how I write in at different stages of my coursework.  I have completed a production log because it is a easy and simple way to keep track on my progress so far.  It is especially useful to monitor my progress. This is because I can read my production log at any stage in my coursework and make sure that I am staying productive with my time and not falling behind schedule. I can also use my production log as an evaluation of how successfully iv'e organised my time, if I have stayed productive, whether I understood the coursework and what I have done in the past that has been successful or unsuccessful. I have completed my production log in a Word document because it is an easy way to write a lot of text, I also have divided the text and grouped it into dates - to see what I have completed and when. Some film makers may also keep a log on their progres...

World War Z Case Study

World War Z Case Study This case study shows the entire pre production process when making a film, the pre-production process is very important whilst making a film and failure to plan a film successfully can delay the release of a film hugely and could waste a lot of money and resources. I have researched this high budget film 'World War Z' to understand the different methods of producing a film and the pre production process compared to other types of film production, I did this because there are many ways and methods to producing a film so it is important for each film producer to find the right method for them to make the whole process much more productive and easier for them. I have presented this within a PowerPoint to categorize and organise the different elements of post production onto a different slide and go into detail on each, making it easier for me to understand the process. My different elements that I categorized were context, plot summary, financing,...
