Location Recce - First Choice House

Location Recce - First Choice House

This documentation is evidence of a location recce for a house. A location recce is essentially an evaluation of a possible location option and is completed during the location scouting process. It evaluates what the location would be used for and if it is suitable for filming. This evaluation is based on its availability, access to toilets/ catering/ parking/ electricity and what hazards that are there. Moreover, most film producers include a picture of the location within the recce so it is easier to understand what the location looks like whilst comparing location recces. Most of the time a location recce is completed by someone going to the location site and evaluating its suitability and health and safety issues, they then decide if they want to film in that location. I have completed my location recce in 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 recce will make the preproduction process and location scouting process much easier when evaluating the suitability of a location. A location recce impacts my final production because it helps me to decide if a location is suitable for all the necessary needs. My final production could be very different depending on the locations that 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. If I do not complete a location recce and randomly choose a location that I think looks good then the filming process could be difficult. This is because The filming process may arrive and when I get the the location I could realize that there is no food available nearby or there are no toilets available nearby, I may also realize that the location is very hazardous. Next, I may have to complete the whole location scouting process again which could delay the release of my film. A good location can make the filming process much easier. My location recce is professional and industry standard, it includes all of the important information that I need to know about a location as a film producer and all is displayed in an efficient way.

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,...
