Amending my shooting schedule

After meeting with my cast i discovered one of my actors wouldn't be available to film the next day, because of this i had to amend my shooting schedule to accomodate this change the day before production began. The changes i made involved which scenes i filmed, instead of  the first three scenes on day one i scheduled to film scenes 2 and 4 (ones where the missing actor wouldn't be present). Then i scheduled to film the scenes i'd need the actor in on day 2. It is important to amend the schedule so that i am aware of what i need from each day of filming based on availability. If i hadn't changed this schedule i would not be as organized during production, which could affect the quality of my work.

My 3rd meeting with the cast

meeting 3 from mollyallen19
This meeting was held the day before production day 1, we encountered a scheduling issue involving cast. Fortunately we were able to resolve it easily and rearrange the initial production schedule so that it was convenient for me ( the producer) and the cast/crew. Meetings like these are important because they allow you to communicate with your cast and ensure your production is efficient. Without these meetings i could encounter many communication errors that would affect my production.

Contingency plans

Contingency plan from mollyallen19
contingency plans are important to make because they ensure that your prepared to deal with an possible situation that could arise during production. Allowing you to be efficient during scheduled filming days.

Production schedule/ strip board

I created a production schedule to follow while filming, which includes all of the information i will need for each production day. This is important to carry out because they allow you to stay organized during production, so that you can produce a high quality film and manage a set professionally .

location release form/ permission for filming

Filming permissions from mollyallen19

its important to get permission film in privately owned locations to avoid any legal issues during the release of the film. Because my  house is owned, i had to seek out written permission. However, because the cemetery is a public area i didn't need a signature  for permission to film in that area. The only issue will be needing to avoid filming members of the public in the background because i haven't received a contributor form from them.
