Production Schedule

Originally as a group we decided to have a very simple production schedule which contained only one filming date which was March 1st. This was because we believed we could film all of the shots needed in one session and would prevent continuity errors. This later changed.

After reviewing the material we shot on our film date we decided it wasn't up to the standard we wanted and required for our film opening and we decided to reshoot everything as we had to time to do so. There were many reasons for the reshoot including lighting problems, dialogue problems and other errors.

Because of the problems we encounter the first time we filmed we decided to treat it as a rehearsal so our next lot of shooting would be better and would eliminate the chance of simple errors. As we had more experience it gave us an idea to how long each shot would take to shoot and gave us a more clear idea of what we were doing and in what location, thus producing better shots.


For the second time we decided to shoot we thought it'd be best to create a detailed production schedule that detailed what types of shots we were going to use, the script which would be included in the scene and who was filming. Thanks to this schedule it made it easier to film quickly and achieve better shots as we were all more organized.

Although we were organized we unfortunately we had to reshoot one scene, this was because after viewing the footage we didn't think the dialogue was appropiate for the scene. But luckily because we had enough time still we were able to reshoot these scenes and easily edit them into our final piece.
