Pre-production: Logistical elements

 Resource list

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT/RESOURCES LIST

 

FILM TITLE: Gaming Culture Evolution Documentary 

PRODUCER/DIRECTOR:     Henry Briggs 

 

RESOURCE REQUIRED	RESOURCE LOCATION	RESOURCE OBTAINED
Canon DSLR Camera (with audio jack)	Technician office	To be booked out
Shotgun mic	Vpa 216	To be booked out
SD card (32GB minimum)	personal	owned
DSLR Light	Vpa 216	To be booked out
tripod	Vpa 216	To be booked out

 

Here, this is the resource list that I will need for the documentary. Using this, I can confidentially say I am more organised and I can be expected to complete the documentary for the deadline date. In addition, I did this toe ensure I can be well-equipped for the days I need to record as this allows me to be able to get the equipment prepared thus meaning there will be less of a chance of any of the recording does not turning out due to disorganisation. In the industry, this would be vital for more organisation and then no money would be wasted if the crew were not told to be at a certain date so then the responsibility of the contingency plan being triggered would be because of the crew.

Here, this is the resource list that I will need for the documentary. Using this, I can confidentially say I am more organised and I can be expected to complete the documentary for the deadline date. Moreover, I did this to make sure I can be well-equipped for the days I need to record as this allows me to be able to get the equipment prepared thus meaning each recording session can take place with minimal complications involving the actors and crew. In the industry, this would be vital so then everyone knows their roles and not be confused. 

Location Scouting

Overall, with considering my options, I decided it would be in my best interest to shoot at the studio in Sunderland College and Barnes Park due to both options being very accessible meaning I can be more flexible with times. As a back up option, I have decided to also take a day to shoot at one of my crew member's Nana's houses as they showed keen interest in helping create the documentary. 

Here, I completed the location release forms so then I could shoot in the locations I would like to without any repercussions to filming in the areas (unless something were to go wrong during the production process.) This would be vital in the media industry as if you didn't complete these forms, you would not be legally allowed to shoot footage at the location/s.

Weather Check

For the days I am planning to record (3rd-23rd) the weather is seemingly very promising as there doesn't seem to be much rain forecast for those days although some of the days wouldn't matter due to the fact I am going to be recording internal footage along with external footage. Using this, I can confidentially say I am more organised and I can be expected to complete the documentary for the deadline date. Moreover, I did this to make sure I can be well-equipped for the days I need to record as this allows me to be able to get the equipment prepared thus meaning each recording session can take place with minimal complications involving the weather. In the industry, this would be vital so then no money or time would be wasted. 

Contracts

Here, these contracts are useful as they allow me to not have to worry as much about things going wrong during production as although things are bound to go wrong, I can rectify these issues easier and in a much timelier manner using these contracts. I did this to make sure I can be well-equipped for anything that could go wrong. 

Risk assessment

Here, this is the risk assessment I had to do so then I knew the risks of shooting in the locations that I will use for the gaming documentary. Using this,  I can confidentially say I am more organised and I can be expected to complete the documentary for the deadline date. In addition, I did this to make sure I can be well-equipped for any particular thing that could go wrong. If I did not do this, I would be endangering my crew as there could be a serious health hazard unchecked if I did not check for hazards and in the industry, you would be held legally accountable if there was an injury in the workplace.
