The process of filming is a lengthy one and incorporates a great deal more planning and preparation than one may suspect. From my past experience if this is not organised well, a lot can go wrong. In a group there are plenty of concepts and opinions flying about and if these are not thought through, organised and communicated, the end product will not be a success. When researching ways to make this pre-production process smoother and more efficient for the future, I came across the 'Pre-production checklist' created by LAMBDA films. Which outlines three key ways to ease a process that can become very stressful otherwise. These included, scripting, storyboarding, and a treatment making the final intentions of the project clear.
In past I have found the filming stage very stressful when we did not plan exactly what we needed to shot. Without a plan the whole process becomes very unorganised and unenjoyable, it means that you may not get important shots and this will not be realised until the editing stage. Meaning that time and it a lot of case money is wasted with having to do re-shoots. However, I have now learnt from my mistakes and since then, have made sure that the whole process is thoroughly organised. The video blog talks about three main techniques that can be used to make a stressful process smoother.
Looking back at when I first started learning about filming and production I did not understand the importance of storyboarding until it was far to late - on the day of filming when things got very intense and stressful with the deadline fast approaching. Without a planned storyboard the day was very unorganised and unenjoyable. I have however, learnt from past mistakes and since then have made sure that a well thought through storyboard always features in the pre-production process. Making sure that it continues to grow and progress throughout the whole planning stage to ensure that we are all happy with the final product.
As the LAMBDA video says, another important part of pre-production is to create a treatment outlining the aim of the project and intentions so that everyone involved knows what the final goal is. As I have previously said and cannot stress enough how vital it is to have everyone on the team on the same page and working together.
The video blog was very useful in outlining ways to ease the pre-production, all of which are very important. At the time they may seem tedious because all you want to do it get out and start filming, however this will be very unenjoyable is everything goes wrong because you have not organised what needs to be filmed for the project.
