1. Make sure that the call sheet is very precise and that there actually is a call sheet.
2. Charge all camera batteries fully before the shoot.
3. Bring an extra SD/MicroSD card in case, or make sure you have enough space on the SD cards you are bringing, before the shoot.
4. Bring more than one battery to the shoot, that is fully charged.
5. Make sure weeks before hand that the actors in the scene can DEFINITELY make it; but even if they can make it, still prepare a substitute actor/replacement in case they can't in the end.
6. Make sure what you have in mind for the scene, is fully noted down e.g. in a storyboard, shot list or call sheet, to give a rough idea of the order you want all scenes and shots to go in.
7. Make sure to film a variety of shots of the same thing so that you have lots of different shots you can use for that particular scene.
8. Try to set a time slot for how long you want to film a particular scene so that you don't go overtime and drag the whole filming process on for hours (this is annoying).
In this production, I learned many different production skills such as:
1. How to film with a GoPro, Gimbal, GorillaPod,
2. How to organise cast.
3. How to plan shoots (e.g. with call sheets, shot lists, storyboards etc.).
4. How to film in the most efficient way in a limited amount of time.
5. How to make sure to get cast that will be reliable or to just ask very in advance if they can act in your film; but even still, you should make sure you have a replacement/substitute actor for them even if they say yes they can come.
Welcome To My AS Media Blog! This is the blog tracking my film opening production for AS Media Coursework. This is a re-submission of work started in September 2016. I have kept many of the original dates, but substantially revised posts, especially adding material on audience, genre and within the evaluation questions.
