BTEC creative digital media Unit 4

Above I have completed a production log which tells you on what dates I have completed each piece of pre-production documentation. I have completed it so it allows me to see me journey with my work and also lets me keep track of things efficiently. I have presented it in a simple table with 2 columns as I believe this is what is necessary for an action plan - there is no need to over complicate things. 

Above I have completed a location recce which is a pre-filming visit to a location to determine its suitability shooting, including access to necessary facilities and assessment of any potential lighting or sound issues and is closely related to location. The reason I have completed this is because it allows me try and eliminate any issues before hand to allow filming on the day run as smoothly as possible, it also lets me make a final decision whether the locations are in fact suitable in the first place or not and if so what I am going to do about this. I have presented my location recce in the format of a table for the simple fact it is clear and easy for anyone to understand - it also has a professional feel to it. I feel as though this piece of pre-production will have a positive impact on my short film as it plays a vital part in organisation and suitability.

Above I have completed a call sheet. I have completed this piece of pre-production as it helps with so many aspects of filming, it effectively answers the who, when, what and where questions that come up frequently on shoot day - it helps not only me as the producer but all of the actors/actresses too. I have presented this information in a table as it is clear and easy to follow, as well as this it looks professional. I feel as though it will have a positive impact on my pre-production work and a positive impact upon actually filming my short film as again it will answer all of the who, when, what and where questions on the day of filming.  

Above I have completed a film treatment for my production. The reason I have completed this is to help me plan every single scene and step within my short film. Treatments are used primarily as a way to communicate - before the screenplay is written - what a screenplay will be about, and what will happen within it. It's thought as a form of prewriting. I have presented it in the above format as it just keeps things simple and easy for anyone as well as myself to understand, by making things complex there is a risk a loss of communication between me and the reader may occur. The way I have used short , simple but clear paragraphs to me is more effective. By making this treatment it simply allows things to flow for me, it will have a positive impact because it allows me to let me thoughts and ideas flow.

Above I have inserted a video of my meeting notes. During this video I discussed the plot of my short film and what it will consist of. I have completed this piece of pre-production so I can receive feedback from my class mates and whether there is any improvements I need to make and where I can excel my plan as well as my short film itself. I have presented these notes/pitch through a video as I feel it is nice and clear to me as well as helpful as it allows me to hear back real time feedback from my peers. These meeting notes will have a positive impact on my pre-production work as it allows me to listen back to the feedback I got and allows me to make corrections and any changes that may boost the results of my short film in the long run.

Above I have completed a risk assessment table to show the risks that may come with filming a production. I have completed it so I am able to weigh out risks and any actions I need to take to prevent any accidents/incidents happening when my filming takes place, it also allows me to weigh up the level of risk and if it will be a major or minor issue for me and my team. I have presented this information in a table because it is clear and easy for me to follow as well as being professional and effective. I feel as though by completing this piece of pre-production it will have a positive impact on my short film as it allows both me and my peers to be safe and allows us to take any necessary actions to prevent any incidents, it shows I am using initiative and care.
