Embedded Files
I ended up spending the majority of the FMP process in this stage. As stated in my pitch, I hope to move into production logistics in the future.
A majority of my practical skills work will be found here on spreadsheets, call sheets, location mapping and general interview preparation.
You will find many of the documents have blacked out text to protect locations and contact details of my interviewees.

Story Synopsis/ Treatment
My story treatment lays out the process of creating my documentary from conception to rundown to create shot list and schedule.

These images all connect my research to my pre production as an assembly of what this project should represent, keeping a linear progression.
Storyboard
Storyboard
I didn't feel a storyboard was useful for my process in this assignment, hence why it is only here out of necessity rather than use. This just lays out the stages expressed in my treatment.

Risk Assessment
As I want to complete online and roadtrip interviews, I needed assess my process and keep the situation professional.
Year 2 FMP Production Plan - website version.pdfScheduling Process
Scheduling Process
The majority of my pre production time was spent here, assessing my interviewee options through social media contact. On here, you will find original plans, locations, timings, contingencies, etc, that all made the production weeks work.

I reimagined the information from the presentation slides into a spreadsheet I could amend along the way to track changes in plans and whether interviews could be completed. This ties into my production pages.
CiC Call Sheet - for website.docxCall Sheets
Call Sheets
These call sheets were based off my in person interview route plan, discussed in the presentation. Private information is blacked out.
FMP CiC Interview Question compilation.docxInterview Questions
Interview Questions
This essentially acts as my script for this stage of production. This also contains a bio for the interviewees to become familiar with the project.
CHAOS IN KOREA Script V1 Narration Nick Warner.odtScript
Script
For this section of production, my script was simply for a narration section in the schedule. When it comes to post production, I will redraft this multiple times to include voice over based on what is discussed.
FMP Videography Consent Form.odtVideography Consent
Videography Consent
I like to make sure my cast are aware of the full breadth of my content and its availability. Also, completing this form gives the cast a reason to show up for production.
Shot List
Shot List
My shot list breaks down the production in terms of interview shots. Archival footage isn't included here as I will decide what I need in post production, depending on which interview questions I result in exploring during the edit. Most setups are doubled with cameras so the shots are repeated.
FMP CiK Costumes NW.docxInterview Blocking
Interview Blocking
Rather than a blocking script for a short film, I wanted to find an alternative floor plan to be represented in this portfolio. I resulted in recording my online interview setup, using a key, fill and back light. I didn't produce the same plan for the in person locations as I will be unaware of the room plans until arrival. The camera positions are only options and I may end up getting a wider range of these.
Costume

I wanted to make sure I was authentic I how I was presented to camera in comparison with John Pilger's style.
how does this help
how does this help
Now, with all of these production plans, I have developed a sturdy idea of how this production will run. My major difficulty at this point is time management, as discussed in my pitch, due to the fact that my filming schedule finishes three weeks before the deadline, not giving me long to edit my video, which I believe may be overstuffed with different styles, making it lose focus. Once the footage is collected, I will look at it on the whole and discuss what plans will be going forward.
Pre Production Folder
As a core Practical Skill, I have added all my organisation in file formatting. As you can see here, Every files begins with FMP CiK to symbolise the project (Chaos in Korea) and ends in NW, my initials. The exception are the scripts as I prefer them to be separated.
I complete most of my work on individual word documents/ power points before collecting them all on this portfolio. I like to keep things separated as I work harder on each topic beginning with an empty page.
