10. My planning evidence

Throughout pre-production, I have created many documents in order to help me plan my production. These documents help with both organisation and actually pinning ideas down onto paper, which helps me fully visualize my ideas. All of my pre-production work will be below.
Timeline
   

























Creating these two timelines was very useful for me, as it allowed for me to visualise roughly what happens when and how I'm going to fill the 30 seconds required.
This was the first stage of my creative pre-production.

Storyboard





















Above is a page from each of my two storyboards. I created these in order to plan out each individual shot, both in terms of framing and in terms of duration, so I would not have to do this on the filming day. This was the second stage of my creative pre-production.

Script
Both my adverts use voiceover a lot as the character interacts with the voiceover. Therefore, creating a script was vital as it will help me during production, as it means that my voiceover can just read directly off of the script which would make it more smooth. This was my third stage of creative pre-production.

Bottle Logo
This is the logo of my product that will be placed both on the bottle and in the end titles. This was useful as it allowed me to fully create my brand identity. This was the fourth stage of my creative pre-production.

Character, costume and hair and makeup list




Above are my character lists which have planned hair and makeup on them as well as costumes. The hair and makeup are stock images that look how I want my actors to look. This helps me design their look on the day of the shoot. This is my first stage of organisational pre-production.

Location Report & Risk Assessment
A location report is very useful in production as it helps to have a clear idea of where I am going to be shooting on the day and therefore the day can run smoother as there will not be time wasted on figuring out where to shoot. The risk assessment means that I will know what to avoid doing on the day of the shoot to minimise the risk of an accident. This is the second stage of pre-production.

Shootboard
Above is one page of my shootboard. This organises the order the shots will be taken in based on practicality, and so is very useful as it saves time on the day as there will be less travelling around. This is my third stage of organisational pre-production.


As seen above, I have been through a lot of pre-production in order to help my shoot run as smoothly as possible on the day. It was worth the effort as it will help me a lot when it comes to shooting.

9. The practicalities of filming: when and where production will take place and with who

I have created a shoot schedule that will help me shoot on the day. It has been organised practically, for example shots will not be filmed in order but rather to take into account locations etc. It's also been planned so that the actors for the first advert do not need to be there when filming the second advert and vice-versa. Below is the shoot schedule
