Pre-Production Report

Before starting anything, planning is in order. I will look at the documents I did and move onto the documents made by the others in my group.

Production Design
Location Reccé
I had to find locations for filming that fit in with the descriptions of the settings from the script. I put information about: the best time to film; sources of power; sources of light; permission.

Set Design Inspiration Before I could create my set designs I did some research into real life locations to gain inspiration.

Set Designs
By using plan views and perspective views I have created set designs which are easy to follow and hopefully easy to replicate.

Prop List
The props are important. The props needed for the sets and who they come from are all listed.

Costume Design
Each character needs clothes to wear. I created a costume design for each character and two separate ones for Paul Bison as he features in multiple scenes wearing different clothes; work and casual.

Joe Barden - Camera
Storyboard
Joe was incharge of doing the storyboard. This is so that whole group gets an understanding of how the film will look before we start filming. Sadly, I only have one page of the storyboard.

Shot List
The shot list was written in conjunction with the script and is as equally important as it is the written form of the visuals.

Shooting Schedule
Each time we film, we must know what we’re about to film. A shooting schedule achieves this by stating which shots will be shot and when.

Katie Whitewood – Lighting & Sound
Schedule
The schedule is a written document documenting and planning what we have done and what we are going to do. This document helps with organisation. Sadly, I couldn’t get this document off Katie.

Technical Reccé
This reccé is different from the location reccé because it focuses more on moving in equipment such as lighting. By basing the organisation of the set on the set designs, equipment can be placed around the props. Sadly, I couldn’t get this document off Katie.

Daryoush Zand - Director
Call Sheet
Before filming a call sheet is required to sum up all the information about one particular day of filming. It gathers all the factors needed for that day and places them into one sheet. Also, it has a nifty weather prediction as well. There was only one call sheet made for the first day of filming.

Treatment
The treatment is a rundown of what is seen and what is heard on the screen.

Risk Assessment
Every risk must be accounted for in this document. It is sectioned for each location.

Script
The script, alongside the shot list, is the arguably the most important document. It has all the dialogue said by the characters and character movements. It’s split into scenes and is a great asset for actors.
