Production schedule

In today's lesson as a group we decided to write up the production schedule. I took on the role of hand writing the production schedule, and as a group we looked at what equipment we needed for each scene, what crew will need to be included and when we believe that the filming will be completed by. When doing this we had to look at the school timetables of the actors that we are going to be using to ensure that they were free on the days that we chose to film. We also completed a post production schedule so that we know when we are going to be reviewing our footage and when the draft has to be in by. Tayla then went and typed the production schedule up on the computer. We all worked as a group on the production schedule and all had an input into when we should be filming and what equipment and actors we need for each scene. As we were all able to agree on all of these things we completed this task fairly quickly, although finding out when the best time for everyone to film took quite a while. The production schedule is important to the planning stage because it allows both the actors and production crew to see when the filming will be taking place and who needs to be there on those days of filming.
