Unit 1 Pre-production report
Introduction:
I am writing this report to promote my 1 minute short film, 'Trippy'. My short film includes a young male who accepts and digests' a hallucinogenic pill which results in him him blacking out and then imagining he is being chased to death by an unusual man. He awakens from the 'blackout' but the danger seemingly doesn't end. As production manager, I have several responsibilities as I will have organise funding, sourcing, and scheduling to perfectly execute my shirt film.
Type of production:
My short film will be of a Thriller, genre. It will also include the codes and conventions of a Thriller such as: suspense, mystery and tension. My shurt film will require a relatively small crew as I need: 2x actors, a cameraman, a lighting technician and a editor. However, I will be taking on nearly all of these roles at a given time when shooting the production. I have also written a script for my short film so that my crew will understand my exact vision of how I'd like my short it to be. A storyboard was also made so that my crew can quickly and easily understand how the short film will be.The producer in my team has the responsibility of calling the council of a certain area and receiving permission to film in your specific pick of location, I have chosen to shoot in Waterloo, London and will have been in contact with Lambeth council and I may have to pay a small fee of to film in my choosing location. I will use professional camera's and LED lights so that my sort film looks refined.
Finance:
My short film will require so many to be invested into it. Funds for my short film will cover: travel, food, props and (maybe) talent. Talent and crew will have oyster cards that will freely get us from one place to another. However, I will be travelling to a central place which will require a fee of: £7.30 per person. Also, the food budget for the whole crew will be £25 - £30. Lastly, hardly any props are needed for my production, however I have purchased a mask from Amazon which cost: £7.25
To raise money from my production, I could promote needed-investmenton the popular money funding website, 'Kick-Starter'. I'd have to set a goal as to when I'd reach a certain amount of money for my short film to be in production. If I didn't reach my goal before a certain deadline, all the proceedings sent to fund the requirements of my short film would be refunded. If this was a professional feature film I could also, request a loan from the bank to fund my short film and then pay them back meanwhile making a great profit if the film results in being a huge success. Another alternative would be to pitch my idea to investors, if they lent me money, would pay them back after the success and money earnings of the film.
My sixth form has cameras, lighting-equipment, tri-pods and an editing suite within the facility which is accessible for students usage. However, if I was a professional production manager for a feature film or company I would have to rent/purchase equipment/facility's.
Professional camera: £250+
LED lighting: £50+
Studio hire: £150
Editing suites: £250
Locations: £30+ - thousands
Time:
Scheduling for production shoot will be planned carefully by my team and I around our availability. Moreover, it will mostly be done after school when some of us have time to do so. We will be strict with managing our time keeping as it is very important to meet deadlines. Missing deadliness can lead to lawsuits and missing out on great opportunities within the professional media industry. Also, many other deadlines for rental on an item (like a camera) and/or place (like an editing suite or green screen studio) may cost the crew much more money.
My crew and I will have made a call sheet which will include contact numbers, what will be shot in a scene and what day it will be recorded and finally, directions. In addition a shooting script has been made so that no time is wasted when the time to shoot the production commences, we will know what shots to take and how to take them.
Schedules & deadlines:
My team will book the usage of camera equipment in my college such as a: camera, tri-pod and LED lighting. We will have to make sure we book them and return them at appropriate times to shoot our production so the our short film is produced and looks professional. My team and I communicate through phone messaging which is how we will organise certain things for our production.
Crew & Personnel:
I'm going to be doing this production with three other people. I, myself am the director, Tommy is the camera operator, Roopa is the producer and Trevor is our talent (actor). Roopa is very reliable and organised which is why she has job of being a producer. She will handle the location recce, make a call sheet, handling the budget, producing release forms and permission clearances, make a risk assessment, and looking over the script(s) and storyboard. As the director I will control the films artistic and dramatic features, from the script, to the camera shot angles and movements, and to the talents actions within the production. My creativity will be emphasised within the short film from my vision with the inputs of my team. Tommy knows how to handle the camera very well and finally Trevor is great acting who is willing to work in our production for free.
In the professional world of media:
A camera man would cost £250+ for the day
A director and producer would start from £100+
An actor may cost £80+
Facilities:
My college allows me to use facilities such as an editing suit and green screen room for free, as long as I make an appointment to use it. We have the usage of final cut, logic pro x and all camera equipment. An editing suite would cost from £500+ if I did not have the support from my college.
Final cut allows footage to be edited to an artistic standard, logic pro x allows audio to be manipulated to anyones will and a green room is used to edit the background of talent in front.
Materials:
Clearance for certain clips/videos and audio is needed so that no copyright is involved. If a company, radio station, advertisement, film production or television production uses a private media (audio /video) they will have to pay a sum of money to the owner of the media. I will not be using a private media in my short film.
Contributors:
The talent in my production is working for free however, I would have to pay a reasonable fee for a talent in my production in the professional world of media. The talent in production will have to sign a release form so that there's proof he is allowing himself to be seen in the production.
Locations:
Our production will be shot in the woods. We have sent permission forms to our back-up locations in case we want to shoot in a more public environment. The location, the woods has a dark and sinister feel to it which will add suspense and mystery to my short film - (fulfilling a thrillers codes and conventions). The producer, Roopa will have visited the locations (as well as I have) taken photos, made a risk assessment and location recce. You have to choose wisely when picking out a location to film as some places may cost a lot of money to film there and there are some limitations such as: far distance which may tire the crew, is the place relative to the plot to make the film interesting, will the weather and lighting be suitable for shooting and are there any risks like: theft and a dangerous environment.
Codes of practise:
As previously covered, I will need permission to shoot in a certain location by calling up the council of which the location is in and receiving clearance (permission form), I will also need proof that the talent in my production has accepted to showing his physical state (release form), clearance for any copyright material, if I were to use it (pay a fee for usage or freely receive permission). I would also need to show to the council proof of knowledge of health and safety for the public and crew in my production. I need to make sure people will be safe when shooting my short film, hence why a health and safety assessment is produced. Also, the BBFC will look over my film and see if the material is appropriate enough to designate it into a certain certificate section. My short film will be classed as a 12a as there is two peril scenes and one violent scene - mature but not too graphic.
Conclusion:
Pre-production is don so that shooting a production will be easy for team and talent involved and so that everything goes to how the people in-charge had versioned.
