Pre-Production for "The Race"

Shot List:
This is the list of shots that are going to be used in our film. Each of the shots has an explanation of what is going on in the scene, and the storyboard that we created later will be based off the information from this list.

Storyboard:

This is going to be used as a visual representation of what will happen during the film. We are aiming to make the film as close to the storyboard and shot list as possible, not straying from the original plan for the film.

The storyboard was all done by hand, meaning that I do not have a digital copy to post on here, however, I have the unfilled version to show what the storyboard would be like.

Location Recce Ideas/Photos:

We had to go survey the areas that we wanted to use, to make sure that it was what we were looking for, and get pictures of it so that we can easily find where we wanted to film. We decided to record the route that we wanted, because we don't want to use the whole block.

Location Recce Video  

(Because the file is so large, I am unable to download and upload on here, so I have provided a link.)

Location Release:

These are the forms that allow us to use the areas that we have selected for the movie. They have been signed by the people in charge of these areas, as well as us, so that we are responsible for any damage that we cause.

These files were done by hand, instead of digitally, because they required the signatures of those in charge of the areas we wished to film in.

Actor Release:

These are the files that allow the actors to be recorded and filmed. There is one for each actor in the film, and because they're all minors, it's also signed by their parents.

These files were done by hand, instead of digitally, because they required the signatures of the actors and their parents to allow them to be shown in film.

Budgeting:

This file gives information on the expenses of the film. Because it is being filmed in the college, we don't have any travelling costs, meaning that the props used at the total cost. Though some of the items that are on the list are going to be used, not all of them are going to be bought, and we're only practicing for later use. This also includes our costumes and props in the film.

Risk Assessment:

In order to make sure that our film is safe, and that we don't have major risk issues, we had to fill out a risk assessment, that would include all of the dangers that we might run into, and what we are actively trying to do so that none of the risks happen.

As you can see, it has been signed by the Line manager, with a risk of "Medium".

Because we haven't gone off site, we haven't been required to complete a police email, letting them know that we would be using props that could scare residents in a public location. 

Production Schedule:

In order to make sure that we knew what we were doing for each day, we created a production schedule with details on what would be happening on each day. It included all production dates, and was split into two categories - Filming or Editing. Each day also had a list of the items that we would require for that day, including which cast & crew were required for each.
