MAJOR PRODUCTION: FILMING PLANS

Back at the start of the project, I created a preliminary filming plan, I put all of the locations and details into one package. Now that we are closer to filming I have updated this document ready to give to all my cast and crew. I thought this would be a helpful document because it lets the cast and crew know well in advance what will be required and when.  I took the research I have previously taken on on call sheets to show what needed to be included on these documents. (Whilst I will be giving the cast their call sheets, I wanted to try and give them as much of this information in a clear document as soon as possible)

- The location addresses
- Scenes required to be filmed on specific days (to help with script/line learning)
- Cast required
- Crew present
- Basic contact information of the main production team
- Estimated Timings

I wanted to create this document and email it over to the cast ASAP because I want to make sure the cast feel as involved and present in the film making process as possible. This will hopefully reduce the potential chances of a cast member dropping out, but also make them feel more involved in the film as a whole. Often can be the case with certain student productions, is that the cast members drop out because they do not have any details or involvement in the films production up until the first filming day. We want to make sure our cast are with us every step of the way and know exactly what is going on.
