Call Sheet

 A call sheet is an essential document for pre-production planning as it provides a separate schedule for each day of filming, taking into consideration external factors such as weather and first aid safety. This is a clear, industry standard layout which has been proven to be successful. In order to create a document like this, I gathered information for the first day of filming, (each day of filming will have the same layout just adjusting the information) including cast needed, specific timing and key details. This will strengthen the process of producing my short film as I have a rigid schedule to stick to, this call sheet allows everyone on set to know where they need to be during the day and for what time, this document can act as a tick list for each day of filming. This will help to keep production smooth and on track to create the best possible film concept.

Budget

By producing a table to explain my budget I am organising the amount of money needed versus the money I have available to me. I made this table and decided I needed to research the average prices for the items/equipment I needed, I then further broke this down by how many of each item/facility I would need. I also added a comments section so I was able to note down any details I felt I would forget within this project. It is essential that I completed this pre-production activity because without it, I wouldn't have any equipment booked or an estimate to how much this project would cost in total. By arranging this document, I have allowed the project to run easier, this will overall impact my project successfully as I know what is most important to spend my money on for this short film project.

Location Recce

I created a location recce document in order to get all of the important details needed about the locations I am filming at which shows me the status of permission, key points of interest and areas I want to film in, and the services/facilities that might be necessary for filming. By creating this document I have emergency contact details if issues were occur when filming. I also have checked that this location is suitable for filming so I can determine technical aspects such as lighting and sound.

Film Ideas

  Film Ideas  I completed this pre-production activity in order to write down the basics of my film extracts like ideas, locations and characters. I knew I wanted to do a thriller film extract and therefore knew who the target audience would be. Next, I made a list of all the things I needed to know and wrote them out. I firstly came up with an idea, then the title, the characters and then the others. By doing this, I have made my pre-production tasks more organised, and this will help me evaluate my ideas and see which one would be most likely for me to film. I can add to this document as I carry on with the production process if I change/improve my ideas.
