I decided to create a lighting plan since I've booked the studio at college. I made a plan so that when it comes to Tuesday next week, I know how and where I want to set up the equipment, as well as where to place the actors in the frame. Lighting plans are useful because …
Booking the college studio
In my last few blog posts I mentioned that I was planning on booking the photography studio at college to film. Judith advised me to go as soon as possible considering that Level 2's and Year 1's may need to use the studio around the same time as me. If I didn't need to use …
Finding actors
I’ve always struggled to find people willing to be in my videos because I’m very introverted, so it’s a challenge for me to ask friends to help me out. In the past I have asked my brother and step-sister to help me out in most of my projects and luckily, they agreed to do them. …
Storyboard and Mood board
Today I started and finished both a mood board and storyboard. A storyboard is used to help visualise how you want your film to look like. They can be hand-drawn or use different digital images to tell the story. Personally, I prefer to find images on Google or any other free image source to use on …
Video treatment
Today I completed a Video treatment. This document is just a basic outline of what the video is about, what type of characters there are and what happens in the video itself.

The health and safety document basically explains who is responsible for what job as part …
Character profile

Equipment list
Today I decided to start and finish an Equipment list for my project. They're essential for keeping track of what equipment you need as the weeks progress. In the document, I listed all the equipment I knew I needed which was: camera, tripod, hard drive/SD card/USB, computer and laptop I made sure to note who …
Risk Assessment
Today I decided to make a Risk assessment sheet. I feel as though this may be one of the quickest forms to fill out in the project folder, so I chose to do it now rather than later. The purpose of risk assessments is for you to prove that you're aware of the risks that may …
Call sheets
Call sheets are used on the day of filming to record the time everyone arrives, the location of the shoot and the weather on the day of the shoot. They are to prove that actors/members of the crew were present for filming on that day. The first section is just detailing the project taking …
