Filming schedule

A filming schedule is an order of the shots going to be filmed, and the details to follow when shooting. It is important to have this schedule because it makes the filming of the opening sequence run smoothly, it makes it clear of what needs to be shot and what is included within the frame. Without this there would be many debates and issues of what needs to be done causing a longer filming time and possibly making the work bad quality. Schedules help when reminding the cameramen and the production team how each shot needs to look and what cinematography needs to be used. It also organise when the filming is going to take place, with the date and locations. It reminds the make up artist of how each character in the shot needs to looks they are prepared if any changes need to be make between shots. The film schedule also includes what iconography is need in shots, what personal will be needed and the equipment needed for filming. All of the information on the filming schedule makes the filing time quicker because it organises and allows the team to prepare for the shots. 

My group followed most of our filming schedule, we followed the shots and the content of them. We used the right equipment and had the personnel on set when they were needed. The iconography was used correctly and the hair and make up set up was stuck to. There was one issues when filming that we couldn't stick to the schedule for which was the date. On the date stated we filmed half of the shots but it ended up becoming to dark to film the camera couldn't pic up the characters or main features within the frame. This meant we couldn't finish filming, so we had to go back the next day in order to complete the shots on the schedule. This showed that we didn't think ahead enough about how long our lighting would stay for, we should have spread the filming our over a couple of days so that we could keep the lighting the same for the whole opening sequence. Apart from this mistake everything else was on time and ran smoothly. The filming schedule made the filming process much easier, the production team and something to follow which meant everyone knew what was happening where and when.
