Filming schedule

A filming schedule is a table which plans out when each shot is going to filmed, at what time it will be filmed and what things are included in the shot and the equipment necessary. This is vitally important in terms of efficiency when carrying out the filming process. By having a planned out schedule it means you can make the best use of your time instead of not having a clear focus on what needs to be done in each day. It also makes sure that no shots have been missed out from your story board as you can go through the schedule and check that all of the shots have been carried out successfully.

Factors outside of our filming came into play and we were unable to film at the exact times we had planned. However we included all the shots we had scheduled in and followed the schedule very closely. We felt it gave us a clear indicator of what needed filming before the deadline and allowed us to prepare before each filming session and use the time as efficiently as possible to get it done.

  1. You have made a good start in explaining what the purpose of a filming schedule is. However, the table that you have included above does not fully show enough understanding of planning and this is because you have only planned 5 scenes, when you have a lot more include.

    Therefore, you need to ensure that you have fully followed your storyboards to complete this post.
