Personal evaluation

Merit

M2: documentation will cover all the procedures relevant to the type of production being undertaken in some detail. It will be presented carefully and neatly, and will be organised clearly.

M3: learners will demonstrate that they can undertake pre-production work that enables the efficient completion of the product. It should be noted that the quality of the resulting product is irrelevant to the assessment of this unit.

Distinction

D2: documentation will be comprehensive and thorough with a detailed breakdown of all procedures relevant to the type of production being undertaken. It will be very well-organised and presented to a standard that approaches professional practice.

D3: learners will be able to apply their pre-production planning to the proposed production to a standard that approaches professional practice, for example, ensuring that all the resources are in the right place at the right time. Their planning will enable the successful completion of the product, though it should be noted that the quality of the resulting product is irrelevant to the assessment of this unit.

Personal evaluation – you can present this as a Director’s Commentary

Introduction

• What are the main 3 things you have learned from this experience about the PROCESS of managing and organising a film production?
• How good was your group at Problem-Solving and when did this happen?

Main Body

Discuss the Strengths and Weakness of your pre-production in managing and organising time, crew & cast, resources (kit and props and costume) – use the following to break it down

1. Was your Shooting Schedule initially detailed and realistic enough to allow you to achieve good quality and complete the recording of all the footage?
2. Was your Storyboard detailed and substantial enough to fully cover the 5 minute film?
3. Was your Shot List organised correctly in order of how you would setup these shots to make the most of the time available (i.e. grouping them?)
4. Were your locations suitably Recce’d to consider background noise, lighting and permissions
5. Were your actors rehearsed, organised and the right choice for your characters?
6. Did everyone in your crew know their roles and take responsibility for them?
7. Was the equipment checked, charged and working properly before you set up your shoot?
8. Were your Call Sheets effective in that all resources and people turned up on time?

Conclusion

• How effective overall was your management of the production process – and what you improve on next time?
