Film Schedule
A filming schedule is produced before the film production takes place. This is so that crew members can plan out a schedule of when each shot is to be filmed and what is needed in each one. This therefore can save a lot of time and disruption during the filming process.
Creating our own filming schedule allowed us to consider each shot individually which meant we were more prepared when it came to the filming process. With each individual shot we included the date of which we hoped to film, the location, the action of the shot, costumes, hair and make-up, iconography, personnel and also the equipment we needed to film the shot. 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.
By creating a film schedule it benefitted us as we were prepared and knew what had to be done and what was needed for each shot. The filming process was therefore less time consuming and it left us with room to experiment with different shots we thought of on the spot.
This post demonstrates a good understanding of what a filming schedule is and how it is used within the planning stage of a production.
