 Above this is my proof of location permissions/clearances. I have completed this because without permission I wouldn't be able to film in particular locations which would hold back my filming process. I have shown this piece of documentation through emails as this is what the permission request and reply was originally sent/received on therefore it has been shown this way. This piece of pre-production will have a positive impact on my filming process as it means I am able to film in my desired locations meaning my content will be good quality.  

Above I have created a source of finance table - I have completed this and I have chosen to present it in this format so I am able to clearly see a break down of all different source of finance and so I am also able to see the pros and cons side by side.  This is helpful as it gives me a clearer insight to which source of finance would be most useful for my production - it allows me to weigh out the pros and cons of each and push me to make my final decision. Personally for me I will self-fund my film trailer  because it won't be a huge production therefore meaning the budget will be low which means I am able to use my own money rather than having to source it from somewhere else which in the long term would effect me negatively.

Above I have completed a contingency plan which allows me to look at any problems that may occur during the filming process and how these will be resolved, I have completed this piece of pre-production as it lets me be prepared prior to filming so if any is to go wrong I know how to handle the situation effectively and professionally. I have presented this information in a table as I believe tables are always the most clear and efficient way of displaying information. It will have a highly positive impact on my filming process as it allows me to be prepared for anything that could possibly go wrong. 

I have completed a storyboard for my film trailer as it helps to reveal whether my concept will work or not and helps to determine the direction the course is going to take. I have presented my film trailer in the format of a storyboard as it helps me clearly see all scenes I need to film and helps make it clear to others too - it makes production much easier. This storyboard includes the shots I need, the duration they will be shot for and the order they'll be laid out as well as all of these factors, it saves me time because in the long run it will help my creation process run more smoothly.

In order to create this presentation we looked into Sky Storm productions  https://skystorm.com/pre-production-a-case-study/ . This website displays the strengths of their studio and the steps they have to take in order to be successful at pre-production. The website looks into different specific areas such as financing, plan B ideas, processes, clients, recourses and budgeting. Our task was to specifically look at the strengths of Sky Storm Production and what has made them so successful whilst the other group in my class analysed the weaknesses. The process of researching itself was very important as it gave us an insight into what the company is all about. We had to look at the process itself, documentation completed, meeting the needs of the client, usefulness of pre-production elements, management of budget and resources and we hd to find specific examples to justify our arguments. We discovered as a group the strengths and some of these were that Sky Storm Productions clients h

This SWOT analysis allows me to clearly see/weigh out all the different factors that contribute towards horror films. The reason I have chosen to put all of this information into a SWOT analysis table is because it is clear and organised for me and helps me to see the information with no complications for me or the reader. By me completing this it will have a positive impact on my project in the sense it allows me to weight out pro's and con's of the horror genre and whether it is something I wish to pursue after further research and looking at this table.

This piece of pre-production is my equipment booking proof. I have completed it because it means I am guaranteed the equipment I require on my requested days. I have completed my booking in this table because this is what was provided in lessons to ensure everyone got the equipment they needed on the desired day - it was done fairly. This will have a positive impact upon my filming process as it means I can prepare for the days I am going to be shooting - it allows me to gather everything I need in time for shooting such as costumes and props.  

Above I have completed a release form which is a piece of documentation that an actor fills in prior to filming to tell me they accept the process of what is going to happen, it also gives me their emergency contact details to ensure help is available in case of an accident. I have presented this on a simple and easy to understand letter - I have also looked at industry standard release forms and they're very similar to the one I have completed above.

Above I have inserted a parental consent form. This is a piece of documentation that parents of actors who aren't 18 or over sign to say they give permission for their son/daughter to partake in the filming of my production. I have presented this in a simple and short letter that is straight to the point and clear for people to understand - this will have a positive impact on my filming process as it gives me all the permission I need and allows all the filming to go ahead.
