write a script and make sure everybody is clear on what the script includes and how it is going to run, don't rely on memory! We all need to nake sure that we have read the script so that we all know exactly what is going on. Also make sure you write it simply, so it is easier to understand. Later when you have tried acting it out, you can fill in emotions and actions so that you know exactly what you need to do and when.
Test shooting
test shoot our ideas and locations so we have a feel of how it is going to look, and we can also see any problems that we may need to overcome.
It will also help us get used to the location, get used to the equipment and help us polish up our script.
Walk through your script and act everything out to get better ideas because it will help you to see if there are any problems and we will learn more about the potential success or failures making making things easier to solve.
Location Recce
we need to go and have a look at the location that we want to film, and analyse any health and safety dangers we may need to over come. also compare our location with another location so we can have a real feel of which one feels best for us.
We should take photo's and wear appropriate clothing when going to look at the locations.
Digital Story Board
stick to the story board as it will give you a plan of what we need to do, and it will make our piece more organised and easier to execute.
Take variety of different frames shits with a camera to get a feel for angles and shot types. Print them out or keep them on your phone as a reference for filming. You could also use google earth for a birds eye view of our location.
This is a digital story board from the film 'Carmilla':
Lastly, create a time scheme/ schedual so that we can get everything done on time and have the maximum amount of time to produce our piece with as limited stress as possible. This way everyone knows exactly where to be and at what time to be there.
