Assignment 4 Task 1

This post shall be on about how useful I found the pre-production plans for my advert. Generally I did find the pre-production plans quite useful for the help of my advert.  When it came to the advert I did use the pre-production plans but i didn't use them that much on the way of helping me.


Risk Assessment – I used my risk assessment to make sure that we was always away from any types of dangers such as moving cars or construction machines. I used it this way because it had all the dangers that we come up against when we were filming in a public area. This document was useful because it helped us make sure that we were out of the way of moving cars and that we didn't film to close to the construction works. I would improve my document by saying what other risks there are when I am going out filming. The document was a very useful document because I knew what the main risks were and because of this the rate of any risk had reduced.

Proposal – I only used my proposal for finding the right location and planning what we were going to film and how we was going to do it. I used it this way because my advert had to be based on my proposal so I tried basing my advert as much on my proposal as possible so it will achieve the idea that I proposed. My proposal was useful because I was able to make my advert the way I wanted it to because I could base it around my proposal which is ho w I wanted to do everything. I would improve my document by writing in more scenes for is to film so more was happening in the advert. This was one of the main useful documents because I was able to film my whole advert because it was all wrote down and I was able to follow the whole thing easily.  
Production Schedule – I only used my production schedule to make sure that I was in the right type of area and to make sure that I have all the equipment that I am going to need when I was filming. I used it this way because it was listing what problems I could come across with when I was filming such as the weather forecast being said to rain so I wouldn't be able to film because the equipment would get damaged. My document was useful because I knew where to find the right location where there is construction going on and that I could film in the street. I could improve it my adding more detail and putting in different locations if I wasn't able to film in my initial location. This document wasn't one of the main useful documents because it only said a location I could film and what I should do if a problem arises.
Production Budget - I didn't really use this pre-production document in the making of my advert because it had no relevance to the filming. It was useful for knowing how much that we was going to need to spend to try and pay for all the relevant things such as costumes and camera hire. I would improve my document more by adding more detail and saying what kind of costumes they were just encase anything happened to the costume. Overall this document wasn't really useful because i didn't really need to keep referring to it like i did with other documents.
Details - I used the details pre-production document to make sure that all the information was there for if anything went wrong so people could contact me, i made sure that all of the information on there was up to date which means that it had all the right numbers and it said who was the client and what the advert was about. The document wasn't useful for me because i already knew all of the information which was on the sheet, but it was important for the people that was helping me film just encase anything happened they could contact me. I would improve it by adding other number of people i was working with so i could contact them encase anything happened that i couldn't deal with on my own. It wasn't one of the most important documents because all of the information on the document was all my information so i already knew it.
Call sheet - I used the call sheet to say where we was all meeting and say what time we're meeting there and what we're going to do there. This document was useful because it said all the information that everyone needed to know so that the filming went along fine and so that all of the places that we may be filming at. I would improve it next time by adding more details such as the actual addresses instead of describing where the place is. The document was useful for when we first started filming but after that it wasn't really needed because everyone knew what they was going to be doing.
Contingency plan - I used my contingency plan to make sure that i wasn't doing anything wrong in my filming and that i wasn't breaking any of the rules that were set in place. My document was useful because then i knew what i was going to be doing and what i am allowed to be doing because there was a few things of what I wasn't allowed to do because I didn't want to break any rules and have to re-film. I would improve my document by saying more of what I was going to be doing and how i was going to be doing it without breaking the rules. This document was very useful because i was able to film without having to re-film any shots because I knew what I was and wasn't allowed to do.
