Location Permission - School Classroom

School Classroom Filming Permission

This documentation is evidence of a location permission email. This evidence proves that I am legally allowed to film in my chosen location - the school classroom. Evidence that a film producer is allowed to film in a location is needed because it is illegal to film without it and film makers can get arrested or have to face consequences if they get caught filming in a location without permission. Despite it being illegal to film without permission, some film makers do it anyway in hopes of not getting caught and sometimes it turns out successful for the film producer. However, the risk is quite high and does not always pay off for some film makers. It is risk - free and better to gain a location permit or permission to film in a location. I chose to gain permission through an email for multiple reasons. First, I already knew the email of the owner of the classroom and could easily contact them. Secondly, I gained permission much quicker than if I were to send a letter of another form of a permission request because I did not have to wait for the letter to be delivered to the owner. Finally, the permission is evidenced on the internet and therefore it is harder to lose that evidence. If the permission was a letter than I could more easily lose the permission forever and have to rewrite the owner of the location. I can also choose to print the email out if I want a physical copy of the permission. This documentation impacts my final production because it legally secures a location for me to film in. I now know that I can successfully film in the classroom. I also now have a larger idea on how my film is going to look and can imagine the mise-en-scene and look of the scenes filmed in a school classroom. My piece of documentation is professional but not quite industry standard. Most professionals would include more detail and information in their emails and most of the time film makers have to pay to film in certain locations or hire a space out.

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,...
