Pre Production - Working Agenda

In order to give to prepare properly for this project, I decided to create an agenda that would help me organize and know what I need to do and for when.

So far the main things that I believe need doing as for both my roles Cinematographer/Editor are:


A Teaser for the end of this term that would give the audience a bit of a sense of what we are creating. Different to a Trailer that will potentially create after filming in January, the teaser doesn't include footage from the film, it is created with various elements still TBC that will still give a gist of our project.

A Title Sequence for our Sunday League show. In this case the main ideas I have at the moment don't include many graphics, which is a bit of a change for me to make a live action package.

Some Test Shots that will help me and the director understand what is it we are going to film, the types of camera we are going to need, the amount of people and if there are any camera or visual effects, so that we can practice them before filming to see if they work or not.

A Logo for the shirt of the team in which the main characters play. The creation of this will involve research on logos and their meaning alongside with different options to chose from.

The Camera set up that will allow me to plan ahead better for the most complicated shots and also some of the simple ones. It is important that I know and understand where my cameras are going to be positioned and how I am going to deal with them.

A Shot list provided and discussed with the director who will give me his point of view on how he sees some the scenes form the script and then evaluated by myself seeing if I can offer a better option or if everything he wants can actually or not.

A Poster that will help us promote and give some life to our show at the final stages of its production.

Editing the whole package and making the best out of it.

This are some and the main things that I am going to be working on. There are or might be some others coming along the way, but these are the ones I will be putting most of my time on. This not only includes actually making them, but doing research on them and comparing them with other shows, types of editing, editors or even films.
