Behind Closed Doors - Shooting Schedule

        The shooting schedule is a useful resource that all members of the group should pay close attention to. Having one and using one allows the group to stay on focus and on track, meaning the group can finish the work on time. It also lists the props the group need to use on that particular time and so they can make sure they are well prepared for the shooting session. The main point of the schedule is to make sure the filming sessions allow the right shots to be filmed, which is why there is a number for the shot and scene with the date.
        The shooting schedule is one of the most useful resource that we have created, in terms of helping us create our final product. Without it, we can't film the product add we will not know what we're filming and when, and what equipment to bring on what dates.We have a total of two weeks to film, but according to our schedule, we'll only need half that time to film it. This allows a few days to get shots reshot, should we need to, and extra touches to be finalised.

Example of a Shooting Schedule

Shooting Schedule Part 1:

        The first part of the shooting schedule is set to film parts of scene 2, the argument scene. We're shooting this first because it is the most important scene and also the longest, and exists in the middle of our film. Also, it is easier for us to shoot after school as because it's winter, the night draws in earlier. Weekends are better for the day-time shots, as we have time in the morning to do them.

Shooting Schedule Part 2:

        Part two will be the time we shoot scenes 1 and 3, the beginning and end of our film short. We'll start with the establishing shot, and and with the final shot of the necklace lying on the ground. The shots in scenes 1 and 3 are shorter and simpler, which is half the reason why we decided to shoot them after scene 2.
