Props and Costumes
A list of the key props you intend to use, ideally with images of each to help the examiner visualize what you are describing. Identify each, then explain what it's purpose is within the video and why you chose it.
Location Release
Location Release
For any locations where you have access to the legal owner, you must seek permission to film. This is a legal consideration that not only evidences that you have legal access to that location, but also that the footage shot is your own and cannot be contested at a later date by the owner. In the industry this is a very important document and has prevented a lot of potential legal head-aches. Use the template to the right and modify to fit your own production branding and details.
Call Sheet
Call Sheet
The call sheet should be thought of as a register for each filming day planned. You should ensure one of these is completed before each 'shoot day' and then be used as a checklist to ensure everything you need is in place before filming begins. This will ensure filming sessions are more efficient and fewer re-shoots are required when elements might normally have been forgotten.
Production Team
Production Team
Here you must list every person involved in your production and the role they will play within your promotional package. This includes performers, and should be used to ensure all considerations have been made to that person's role within the package and all costumes and equipment required have been accounted for.
Floor Plan
Floor Plan
In this document you must hand draw basic sketches of the layout of each of your shoots. This should be drawn as a birds-eye view of the room; basic shapes are fine, this is not an art exam! The point of this document is for you to visualize where performers, lights and cameras will be placed, as well as what direction each will be pointing in in order to help you quickly set up each shoot.
Shooting Schedule:
Shooting Schedule:
This document is an over all plan of each of the shooting days you intend to carry out. This really is about setting yourself a timeline to ensure all footage you require is captured in a timely manner to allow for a successful production. This document is intended as a plan and it is not expected for you to stick to it completely; reshoots etc are to be expected and are encouraged.
Equipment Required:
Equipment Required:
This document lists all of the equipment you require to complete your promotional package. Try your best to use the correct model names for each piece of equipment (use the visual guide on the studio wall to help) and explain the intended purpose for each bit of equipment.
Copy-write Considerations:
Copy-write Considerations:
In this post you need to demonstrate that you have sought copy-write permission for your song. This can simply be a screenshot of an email you are about to send to the copy-write holder of your song. You can typically find out who the copy-write holder is on Wikipedia and the publishers website will typically have a 'contact us' email or form. This demonstrates your understanding of the need for copy-write permission for use of protected content.
Risk Assessment:
Risk Assessment:
This document outlines all of the physical and logistical risks that could affect production. The aim here is to highlight potential risks and take steps to prevent them in advance of shooting days, with the hope of avoiding them altogether. This will range from things such as the risk of tripping over cables meaning you should check that cables are positioned out of the way where possible, to your performer missing a shoot and therefore needing to communicate effectively to prevent this, etc. In the industry this is done not only to ensure projects commence smoothly, but also to help protect the company in the event of any accidents.
Planning Summary:
Planning Summary:
This post should summarize everything you have completed in order to plan your promotional package. I would recommend doing this as a screencast where you simply go through each of your posts and explain briefly what each post has achieved or helped you plan for your productions. The ultimate goal for this post is to give the examiner a quick and easy summary of your work to make sure they see everything you have done and why you've done it.
