Shooting Schedule

Here are three of my stripboards used to plan the filming times and dates for my short film. This setup enables me to plan the logistics of shooting the scenes within my single camera production out of sequence. This can include; shooting shots at a particular location at the same time regardless of script sequence - this significantly simplifies the amount of time needed to set up shots etc. However, this will not be very beneficial to my production, due to everything being set in one location, although this method will likely be incorporated in terms of camera positioning as part of the "shot reverse shot" technique, which also ensures that lighting is consistent throughout the film. The first scene I am planning to shoot, being Scene 2's Flashback segment, has been purposefully chosen due to the large cast required for this particular sequence. This allows certain cast members with reduced roles to leave earlier, so that they don't have to hang around waiting, whilst they could also become unavailable. In terms of equipment, such as the camera, lenses, boom mic and dolly slider, I will ensure that it is available at all times, as they are all required at least once in every scene.
