Filming

Filming

Think ahead about what could go wrong:

•           Do you need permission to film in your location?

•           Make sure you have fully chraged cameras, tripods, lighting, props etc (remember to take a still camera with you for the digipak images and behind the scenes shots)

•           Make sure you know how to use the equipment

•           Enusre you dont leave equipment behind on the shoot

•           Make sure you have your storyboard with you

•           Have a task list for everthing you want to achieve during the shoot and in the right order

•           Make sure you get enough footage; it is always better to have too much than too little

•           Make sure all actors/team members know what time they are needed and where as well as what to bring

•           Have a back-up plan for bad weather...this is England!

•           Take time to set up your shots

•           Shoot the same shot from a variety of different angles

•           Consider background noise

•           Playback your rushes/footage

•           Make sure someone is in charge of continuity
