Filming schedule
Our filming schedule was very important as it was used to keep our filming on time and to help minimize the time that we were actually filming as this is very time consuming. Without the filming schedule things also take much longer as you will be deciding on what to do when you are actually there. This can take some time and makes the filming so much more time consuming , also it can make decision making hard and this can leed to a difference in opinion and a argument. All of this will not help filming and the filming schedule can be easily drawn up when the time constraints are more relaxed.This is where the filming schedule comes in and it really helps fix this problem.Also after certain points it would be beneficial to have them marked what we have and havent done which will make it easier to get everything finished in the end.
Even with the filming schedule things did not completely go to plan when filming on location. Things can change very easily on set such as weather, background, noise.Also we sometimes found better ways of doing things such as a unusual shot or a different aspect that we could not have anticipated while not on location. This is how we can change to where we are filming and how adaptable we are as a group. Times of things also changed and we could not know some of the things such as the time that it takes to get from one place to another.This is how we sometimes need to change the schedule to make it better when on set and filming. Other different things that can change is the things we use, for example the mask we were meant to use did not look as good as though so we decided to abandon it.
The only downside to a filming schedule is that it is very hard to stick to and could make it harder to film if you have a very restrictive schedule which would be very hard to change. One example is when we wanted to film on the 24/11/13 but it rained heavily so had to be put off until 29/11/13. This may lower the quality of the film as you may be able to tell that something has been rushed or has a time lapse between two different scenes.This would make a bad reflection on the people who have made the film.
Overall a filming schedule is very useful in the way that it can show what we will be doing at what time the only thing is when we change something the filming schedule does not reflect it. Furthermore it can sometimes limit what we will do.
This post demonstrates good planning techniques and this is because you have considered the purpose of a schedule in some detail. You have also focused the strengths and weaknessess well too.
