8. The Planning I intend to complete in order to ensure a successful outcome for my production.

In order for my production to run smoothly I need to plan as much as possible. I have come up with a list of planning that I must complete prior to my shoot. I have also included a template of each that will help me to structure my documents properly. I will need to send these out to cast/crew to make sure everyone's on the same page.

• Script

I need to write audio/visual style scripts for my two adverts. I will use this as the basis for all my other planning.

• Script Breakdown/Breakdown Sheet

Using the script I will do a breakdown of every single item needed for the shoot. E.g. props, costumes, locations.

• Shot List/Storyboard

I will then make a shot by shot breakdown of the story, thinking about framing, focal length and camera angle. This will be a visual representation of the script.

• Location Scouting

I will visit the locations I am considering for my production and take into account things like natural light, where I can position my camera, noise pollution and access for all those involved.

• Risk Assessment

I will draw up a health and safety plan where I'll identify the possible risks and how I can avoid them.

• Scheduling/Itinerary

I'm then going to draw up a plan of timings over the next few weeks to make sure I'm on track, but also leave room for potential errors or repeats of things.

• Casting

For this, I need to write a description of what I want my actors to look like. I then need to audition the people I have in mind and check their availability.

• Production Design

I will make lists of all the components needed for my production and how I am going to source them.

-Props list

-Costume list
-Hair and makeup

-Set design

-Lighting design
