planning for a film (starter)



starter...

when we are doing our logistics planning for a film, one of the most important things we need to consider is time.

timescales are a very important part of our time planning.

what are we referring to when we talk about timescales?
timescales are the time allowed for or taken by a process or sequence of events. e.g. deadlines. the time we have in addition to how we use that time.

if we don't give due consideration to timescales what might some of the negative consequences be?

  • falling behind schedule.
  • messing up the times that actors are needed for scenes.
  • might have to cut certain scenes if times get mixed up.
  • domino effect.

give one key example of the work done during pre-production in the area of materials and evaluate its importance for the success and/or quality of the film as a whole. costumes  costumes are key to portraying a character within a production. if the costumes aren't right for the roles you need, it can give off the wrong kind of effect on the audience or viewers.  props  props are another good example, films such as doctor who are extremely dependant on props to be successful.
