Time Management

After completing all of our production meetings, before we started to film, we made a time management chart. This helped us to work to indivudal deadlines to ensure that we finished our product on time, but also had some time left over to check over our work and to make improvements if necessary, this will allow us to be completely happy with our finished piece.

As you can see the majority of the time we have planned for is editing, as we anticipate that it will take a long period of time to ensure all of our clips flow effectively, that our story makes sense and also that all appropriate sounds have been included and sound realistic.

We also allowed ourself 5 weeks to plan, this is useful as it means that when it comes to filming we can complete it quickly and effectively as all members of our group have a detailed and precise understanding of our storyline and also what shots and angles we need to get.

Time management is an important factor of our whole production as it means that we will be able to finish everything we need to and can stay organised, this will help us finish our opening sequence to the best of our ability.

Pre Production Meeting Three

As shown in the picture, we have decided on what aspects of our storyline should go into each scene, this helps us to break down filming into more manageable parts and gives us an easier idea of what different things we need to film. This should help to make editing easier as we will have a good idea of how the clips should flow to make an effective horror opening sequence.

From the three pre production meetings, our groups is prepared to film our opening sequence.

Because our initial deadline for our production is the 13th February, our group aim to finish filming by the 13th January which gives us a month to begin editing. From our production meetings we have decided that we will spend 2 days filming, on the first day we will film the reporter walking into the building, up the stairs and looking around. On our second day we will film the reporter finding the book, looking through it and the some unknown being entering the room with her. As we have spent time planning we can now effectively manage our time so that we have enough time to edit.
