Timescales

Timescales

Timescales are the overall deadline for the product as a whole,the are many issues that can affect a media production for example lack of facilitates,personal and equipment,when making any media production the producers and the key crew members need to ensure they have availability of personal and time needed.Each of the crew members are selected for there reliability and ability to fulfill responses and meet tight deadlines,if this fails in one department or more this can have a domino  effect meaning the other departments will suffer over one departments mistakes.

What is a production schedule    

A production schedule is broken down as a project plan of how much money is spent over a given timescale,the scheduling process starts whit the script which then spoken down and this is done scene by scene this will also include the breakdown of the grips and props and camera and the crew needed for each scene this is all broken down on a breakdown sheet this also helps the different departments to know when they are needed and what equipment they need.

Deadlines

Deadlines in film making are key as they give the production ream a allocated time or date to work towards, the production manager is the person that oversee the smooth operation, the teams need to be able to adapt quickly to the time that is set and they need to be able to use time to the maximum which means they are most likely to finish on the deadline and stay within the budget.They are many consequences to film production to not finish on the deadline some in which are you can go over budget as if you go over the set deadline you will have to pay for more hours facility hire or pay more hours for the camera crew another consequence is that if the facilite you are filming in is shut there needs to be a suitable facilites this aslo goes for a backup key actor as he might be ill you will need a suitable actor which gets the job done if this happens to more than one key actors then this can cause for the scene to be resluded this can casue for extra time with the camera crew and the actors which you may need to hire the facility for more hours this can you will go over the budget, this also means being prepared like coming up with the contingencey plans for example if a key actor is ill or the location that the film crew are filming at is damaged alterbatives have to be made sure are in place this can aslo be as extreme as filming somewhere different becasue of the weather as it wont be suitable for the shot.

A1 logistics: time: availability of personnel Part 1

A1 logistics: time: availability of personnel 

When undertaking making a feature film there are wide range of different departments which help produce it the main production role is the producer he is the the essential group leader and is response for successfully managing the production from start to finish also just as important is the director is mostly responsible for overseeing the shot and assembling the film and making sure it runs smoothly, screenwriters are responsible for researching the story, developing the narrative, writing the screenplay, and delivering it, in the required format to the producers,they are almost always freelancers who either pitch original ideas to producers in the hope that they will be optioned or sold, or who are commissioned by a Producer to create a screenplay.Another two key roles are the art director and costume designer these I believe these are what make the film, the art director is the person that deigns the artistic side of the backgrounds of the shot this is what makes the shot look realistic good art directors will be able make it realistic but also make it stand out from other featuring directors in other competing films, the customer designer is the key person that make the outfits realistic and suit the stage of the film as this is what makes the film to an extent, next the location manager is responsible for finding and securing locations to be used for the production and coordinating the logistics, permits and costs involved.The production sound mixer is head of the sound department on set, responsible for recording all sound during filming. This involves the choice of microphones, operation of a sound recording device, and sometimes the mixing of audio signals in real time.Typically there are cheif lighting directors they are responsible for the design and exuction of the lighting plan for the prodcution,there are two key types of grips the chief grip is the head of the set operations department. The key grip works with the director of photography to help set up the set and to achieve correct lighting and blocking.  The best boy grip is chief assistant to the key grip. They are also responsible for organizing the grip truck throughout the day.The next key persoanl is the Make-up artists they work with makeup, hair, prosthetics and special effects to create the characters look for anyone appearing on screen. Their role is to manipulate an actors on screen appearance. Lastly one of the many key departments is the catering this the company or people that feed the actors and crew on set.



 

PRE PRODUCTION ALL TOGTHER

Pre Production 

Pre production is an extremely important role in the production process this process consists of about 7 different parts these are all major key roles,one of the most important parts casting,casting is a major part of making a successful film done by the casting director he will need to start assigning actors and actresses and start auditioning  this can be a very long process which can go on for multiple hours or even days, the pre production process casting will also consist of  assigning fans in a stadium and pedestrians on the street etc and also in this major part of pre production the budget will come into factor not short after another pre production comes in which is crew the crew is important as they need to be trustworthy but also come under the budget as well as the cinomtograther and the rest of the crew members like lighting crew

Then there is another process of pre production which is the look this is what the color scheme will come under and where it is this will have to be reasonable as it will have to fit under the budget as well as the lighting like the lights have to be in certain shots,now one of the first process and still the most important breakdown this needs to happen successfully as it will consist of a list of every character in detail and the props this has to be in a lot of detail.

Aswell a call sheet is an important stage in pre production as it will have the numbers for everyone in the crew from lighting crew  to the  director this is so you can keep in contact with everyone and also the actors and actresses on this call sheet will usually also contain a weather forecast for the day of filming and maps of the locations so you don't get lost and so you know the way to the toilet etc, lastly a shooting schedule is a key stage as it tells the shooting crew when and where they should be at the right time and what equipment to get the right shot.

Types of pre production 

There are many types of pre production some of which are a short film and a feature film, short film is film which is not considered longer enough to be called a feature film as it only runs for 40 minutes to 50 minutes they are normal made by individuals on a low budget they are normally funded by non funded organisations or sponsored they are usually acted in by individuals who are looking to go up in there career to showcase there talent to other people.

Another type of pre production is a feature film it is like a short film but runs for a longer period of time around 75 minutes or even longer a feature can typically cost more money than a short film because they have to pay for more for facilities and cost of hire as they will be filming for longer.

Feature Film	Short Film
80 to 130 pages long	two to forty long
There is my time so the audience can get to know the characters in more depth	total running time 40 minutes or less including all credits
Have more time so the writers can throw more twists and turns in there to build tension	don't get to know the key characters as only a short period of time
Have more time so the audience can see how the characters mood changes throughout	don't have time to build tension
	short scripts can briefly look into the characters life's as there is less time
