Unit 30:Task One – Sources of Information AS4

Task One – Sources of Information

The pre-production documents really played a big part of our advertisement, these documents were helpful in terms of getting us prepared to get everything in order. 

For instance:

The Storyboards - this will help us to know what next shot we would need to take for our advert, the storyboard would also help us with where the location of where its going to take place, which would be suitable for scene. For our next project the same thing applies how the storyboard will be planned.

The Shooting Schedule - this will notify when it will be suitable for us to go and film the advert, this is useful because we can check out whether a classroom is available at that time so we would set a date and time, so we can be able to film our project. Just like the storyboards, the same thing will happen for the next project, we will find a location and check if its available to use. 

The Budget - this balances how much we should spend on the equipment, food etc. So we would research the price of all of these things, to see whether its affordable or not. For our next project we will be more wise with our budget spending it on things we would need like the clothes for different scenes. 

The Risk Assessment - this source of information will help us know what could happen around the place we are going to, if one of our crew members was to trip over the tripod which is part of our primary equipment, and that member was to severely injure themselves, we would call the ambulance. The risk assessment also tells if the hazard is most likely to happen and how we can prevent the hazard from harming anyone. I believe that there is no improvements needed for this document, this will be used for our next project as it is very important. 

The Contingency Plan - this information will helps our crew come up with a plan b, for example if I wanted to film outside and it was raining our crew would run inside and prepare the scenes we have to do inside and worry about the scene we have to do outside another time. This is useful because us as a crew would not be stuck with what we have to do, we will continuously know what we will have must do. 

The Location Visit - this is where we set up a time for where we shall meet up. This document is useful because our crew would come together to the location to film. The improvements of this document is to put more information about the health and safety issues and more filming problems that we may not think of. 

The Call Sheet - this source is used for each and every single scene, helps the crew know who is doing what at the location chosen by us. This helps our crew to know our role of what we do for every single scene. For our next project the same plan for this sheet applies. 

Props and Costumes - This helps us to wear what would be suitable for the scene for every single character. This informs all the actors what type of clothes they should wear for the advert. Like most of these sheets the same plan applies to this sheet for the next project. 

Lastly, Contact Details - this contains every single members number of the crew. This is useful because one of the members may need to make a phone call from the crew to call in a different member to phone them where they are. 

The most useful pre-production document is most useful is the contact details because as a crew we will need each other to film what we would need to film. The least useful document was the location visits because most of the time we are together and we can film wherever and whenever. The document that really needs to be improved is the contingency because we would need to think of other plans we could have thought of into proceeding into completing the advertisement.
