Production Schedule

Production Schedule

This documentation shows evidence that I have completed a production schedule. A production schedule is a schedule of the whole preproduction and post production process. It is the timetable for the use of resources and processes required by film-makers to produce the final product. Typically the producer manages the production schedule and will modify it during the course of the production, to accommodate resource changes, to reduce costs, and to increase overall production efficiency.  It includes in order the things that need to be completed for the production of the film and by what date. Typically, a film producer would include the target completion date for each task and the date that they actually completed this task. A production schedule helps the production of a film to stay organised, on schedule and productive, whilst also monitoring any changes that need to be documented.  I have completed my production schedule as a coloured chart so that I can easily see the progress of the production at each stage by looking at the coloured cell shading. A straight sloped line would indicate a steady and consistent progress but however, that is not the case most of the time because you can not always predict how long or little time a task will take.This production schedule impacts my final production because it is a way of checking at any point in time if you are behind or ahead of schedule, this is important because as a film producer you do not want the release of your film to be delayed. It also allows you to see how long you should be spending time on each task and what task you should do after each one, this all ensures that you are making enough progress to stay on schedule and ensure that your film is ready to be released when you want it to be. My production schedule is professional and organised, only including relevant detail. However, it is not industry standard because there isn't a particular way or method to create a production schedule. What a production schedule looks like largely depends on who is making it and what style/ format would be most beneficial and easy to understand for them. It can be as detailed and colorful as each film producer wants it to be.

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,...
