Pre-Production and Production Planning Dates

Here are the dates that we as a group need to keep to when planning for our title sequence. We need to keep to these dates so that we have even time to complete everything to a good standard and also to make sure that we complete everything thoroughly

• Brainstorming / ideas (to be blogged)- Monday 9th November
• Development of ideas - creating a shot list - Friday 13th November
• Scripting - Friday 20th November
• Storyboard - Friday 20th November
• Props / Costume / Locations / Actors and Actresses - Thursday 26th November
• Animatic / Presentation - Thursday 26th November
• Shooting Schedule - Monday 30th November

We have also decided as a group that we need to:

•  Look at the locations we have selected and take images of these different locations- Sunday 27th November 2011
• Filming of the locations and with actors with we have enough time- Sunday 4th December 2011
• Reshoot and Back-Up day- Saturday 10th December 2011

These decision have been made based on our continuity task. We realised that we needed to get all of our filming done so that we have enough time do complete the editing stage. This will hopefully allow us to produce a good quality title sequence. Furthermore we also need to be able to produce a fully annotated storyboard with details about the different types of shots. Within this plan, as a group we also took into consideration that we needed enough time to decided upon our actors, the choice of location and an animatic.

With the decisions we made as a group for taking the images and also the shoots we also decided on a backup and reshoot day. One reason why we decided upon was was so that we could always go back to our location if we felt like we needed to get another shot of a specific area that we did not get before or that it wasn't of a good standard for example if the camera was shaky. This day is also going to be our back-up day in case the weather is different on our filming day to what it is on our first filming day.
