Planning Homework

Hi everyone

This week's homework is a BLOG ASSIGNMENT for Preliminary Task 1 Planning.

Here's what you need to use as a checklist:

TASK PLANNING:
For now you should have started completing the following and have a list of these incorporated into your planning entry on your blog.

• Brainstorm ( scan in)
• Storyboard (scan in)
• Script (scan in)
• Location (take photos of your location options and write a few sentences about why you would or wouldn't choose those locations. Have a plan A and a Plan B. Have you asked permission if permission is needed?)
• Props & Costumes - list them, source them, bring them in (have some cut and pasted imagery from Google of what sort of 'look and feel' you're going for).
• Possible Talent - choose and approach for willingness and availability on the day
• Filming day options - finalise and CONFIRM WITH TALENT
• Conventions you intend to employ, and rationale
• Call-sheet for talent - make it simple for them so they know what they need to bring
• Shot list for yourselves - this helps you plan out how you will manage your time (what order will you shoot in and what time will you allocate to each shot?)
• Group roles - who will do what on the day?  Who will act as timekeeper?  Director?  Cam-op?
• Equipment list - plan NOW what you'll need; don't be scrambling on the day
• Principles of continuity plan (180' Rule/ match on action and shot-reverse-shot) 

GROUP BLOG

Everyone needs to upload their delegated tasks to a post on the Group Blog. Come up with a film company name for your group and create a blog. Work out who is responsible for what and this needs to be completed for Wednesday, too.

All of this will feed your Creative Critical Reflection, which we will discuss more fully at a later time.  For now, get your planning ready and get filming!  :)

Have fun and please ask questions as you go.
