storyboarding
|
Storyboarding is a key creative aspect to the pre-production process. It is a graphic representation of how your video will unfold, shot by shot. It’s made up of a number of squares with illustrations or pictures representing each shot. Underneath there are notes about what’s going on in the scene.
When you storyboard a video you’re setting up a plan for production, including all the shots you’ll need, the order that they’ll be laid out, and how the visuals will interact with the script/storyline. This will help the director and cinematographer convey their scene ideas to the rest of the crew. While storyboards can be designed on white/black boards, its often easier and more convenient to design them on paper. This is because it can be easily duplicated and distributed to anyone that needs a copy, for example the music video editor. Storyboarding is mainly used as a foundation for what the scene will finally look like. This means that they go through many alterations and may not be recognisable in the final cut. |
contingency plan
Contingency plans are important during the pre-production of any film shoot. They allow filmmakers to consider any potential setbacks and unplanned occurrences in advance. It also permits them to work out what to do if these were to occur. This means that the crew can stay calm and carry on shooting as soon as possible.
Possible contingencies include; cast, crew or locations becoming unavailable, damaged equipment and bad weather during filming. |
risk assessment
Risk assessments are another fundamental aspect to the pre-production process. They are an examination of what could cause harm to cast or crew, on a particular shoot or at a specific location, so that the production company/producer can decide whether adequate control measures are in place to prevent harm. This may be from uncomplicated things such as sunburn, to more extreme risks such as a severe drop.
In addition, the assessment may also be used to make the crew aware of the risks and understand how to react if they occurred. Like a contingency plan, this allows the film to go back into production as soon as possible. |
production schedule
When we produce a live action video, crew like to know what it is that they're filming before they show up at the shoot locations. This prevents time wasting on the day of the shoot and allows the crew to focus purely on getting the best content. If time is used efficiently on the day it will ultimately meet it final deadline.
The schedule also helps you schedule dates with your cast and crew, making sure everyone knows when and where they need to be on each day of the shoot. This document should be continuously changed and updated as the film develops. |
