Film Schedule
A filming schedule is imperative to create before filming.
This is because you have to consider the elements of the film before actually
producing it. We had to consider each shot individually as shown in our
storyboards as well as the time it would take to set up each shot and instruct
the actors. Above is the film schedule we produced before the process. We included
what the shot consisted of, date of which we filmed, the location, the action
of shot, costume worn, hair style, make-up worn, necessary iconography,
personnel and finally the equipment needed.
During the filming process, we only referred to our schedule
a few times. This is because we wanted to follow the flow of the natural ideas
that occurred to us. We changed a few shots to suit the conventions of
thrillers for example we shot a close-up of Billy’s face whilst stirring the
pill rather than a mid-shot to display his sadistic nature; this was because we thought a close up would have more of an effect on the audience as they can see the characters facial expression more clearly and could guess what may happen therefore could feel empathetic towards them.
This post demonstrates some understanding of what a filming schedule is and how it is used within the planning stage of a production.
