Production Monitering Blog (8/3/11)

Progress

Last week, I worked independently in college and at home on my Unit 3 pre-production work. This includes my mood board, schedule, documentary idea outline, two social advert idea outlines, treatment, location recce, script and storyboard.

So far, I have completed my mood board, schedule, documentary idea outline, two social advert idea outlines, treatment, script and storyboard. I still have to complete my location recce. Some of the work was completed prior to last week but most was completed in the week.

Day 1

I completed my moving image treatment.

Day 2

I wrote the script for my social advert.

Day 3

I drew up the storyboard to my social advert.

Day 4

I met with my actor, Alex, to discuss the shooting schedule and choose an appropriate time to film.

There weren't really any set backs or complications this week, other than the fact that I had planned to have my treatment completed the week before. Though, I had free time this week to get it completed.

Targets

This week I must visit my potential shooting location and create a location recce for it, assemble any props and costumes I will need for my advert and create a contingency plan.

I will have to be organized in order to make the visit to my potential shooting locations and I will also need technical skills in terms of photography in order to gather photographs for my location recce.

Contingencies

The only real problem I can think of is if Alex is not available at a suitable time for me to visit the shooting location. If this is the case, I will have to reschedule the location visit, meaning the location recce will have to be postponed. If this is the case, these activities will be fit into the following week's schedule.
