Main Task : Time Management

Our team had a time management scheme where we decided on roles for each other and had had deadlines for each other.

By the 23rd Dec - We needed to find a location, which we completed by then.

By the 26th Dec - We needed to list equipment/logistics that we needed to get and do, which we completed by the deadline but eventually we kept on coming up with different things and the deadline extended.

By the 28th Dec - Finding the character, was easier then normal as the profile we made, was in instant match with someone who we knew.

By the 3rd Jan - Our treatment deadline was extended to at least the 10th Jan because I personally forgot about the other things that I needed to incorporate into the treatment.

By the 5th Jan - View Location Deadline, the recce was done on that same day in all 3 locations.

By the 6th Jan - Storyboard Deadline and Script Deadline. Storyboard deadline was shifted to the 15th Jan due to the repeating changes that we wanted and the refining of the drawings. Script Deadline was the same as there was only the description/action of what our actress had to do and the scenery.

By the 7th Jan - Shot list deadline was extended to at least 13th Jan, as we already had the inital idea but we had lacked time to completing it.

By the 9th Jan - Risk Assessment Deadline was due in and was completed.

By the 17th Jan - Everything was completed and handed into our teacher for him to photocopy it for everyone on our team.

On the 18th  - We filmed our shoot between 10:30 am - 1/2 pm

It was hard to keep these deadlines as over the Christmas holidays it was harder to communicate with each other than seeing each other at school and therefore a few deadlines got extended and a few tasks were switched to help us get to the filming deadline. I had realised that you need to give extra time to deadlines as you need the consider their time and schedule as well as yours and in addition, deadlines aren't the end of the world if you miss them.

Main Task : Production Process

Thinking about an actual production process, the actors/actresses would be taken to the location where we would have filmed therefore my dad picked us all up and took us to the location where we were going to film with all the equipment.

When arriving at the location we had to set all of our things down and set the camera down. Ella was the cameraman and the director, Emily was the creative advisor to Ella and I was the actresses assistant for the first few location shoots and then we switched roles to vary it so we weren't going to be bored doing the same thing. So I had a turn on the camera shooting a few of the shot list expected shots. 

It was interesting to see how much we had to do and not a lot of time because when we had started (around 10am) it had been cold and misty whereas as the day went by the sun came out and it looked irregular in the places that we had filmed. 

Then we had to walk for a minute to the next location which was only over a bridge to where the shack was. It was here where we decided to stop as it was around 12:30pm - 1pm and decided to have lunch then carry on after that. Again, the sunlight has come out which was spectacular but it was an error to the film because the background would of been sunny but after talking as a team we suggested that we can colour grade it out to make sure no light aspect would be avaliable.

We had finished at about 3pm and were very tired and cold. It was an experience that we learnt from as we had understood that timing is impeccable, instructions need to be clear and shot list need to be precise.

Main Task : Shot List

Shot list is an itemized record of what's on a tape, what's in a program and exactly where on that reel you can find it
