TASK 11: Yr 12- Filming/Shooting Schedule

Filming/Shooting Schedule task

For this task you are required to make a project plan including a timeline and the planned use of, for example, resources, equipment etc. 

Your  schedule is another crucial part of your project. The concept behind it is to show that you are organised when you come to actually collecting your footage- thus, that you know what actors/models, equipment and props are needed and can approximate how long it will take you to get everything you need.


You should complete a different schedule for every time you go out and film/shoot material, meaning that, as in the first example below, you may well only fill in three rows of one schedule.

A guide for completing the Schedule is offered below:


  • Scene: should be the scene in your product. A scene changes when the location and/or time passes.
  • Description: brief description of what is happening
  • Characters/model(s): you should put the character/model name needed.
  • Location: where are you filming/shooting? What problems might there be?
  • Setups: the number of different camera angles you plan to film this from/take pictures of
  • Time: how long you think it will take to film/take pictures- you should always be generous with this so that you avoid rushing- as a guide, I would recommend 10 minutes for the first setup and then 5 minutes for each additional setup
  • Props: what props do you need for this scene- you may wish to put in brackets who will bring this on the day
  • Equipment: What media equipment will you need (camera/SD/tripod/reflector)
  • Costume: state the costume being worn- again, if there is anything unusual, ensure that you include who is responsible for bringing it.

REMEMBER: 
  • Aim to  'Over-film' 'Over-shoot'  - particularly when shooting outdoors or for key close-up scenes. The more material you have to work with the better.
  • Excellent continuity is vital for a top mark - i.e. the weather/lighting/costume/make-up (etc.) should be exactly the same throughout (particularly if you are filming)
