Pre-production
Making sure got things covered such as location/people/time/permissions/release forms (contract you/and them), catering etc. In filmmaking and video production, pre-production formally begins once a project has been green lit. At this stage, finalising preparations for production go into effect. Financing will generally be confirmed and many of the key elements such as principal cast members, director and cinematographer are set. By the end of pre-production, the screenplay is usually finalised and satisfactory to all the financiers and other stakeholders.
During pre-production, the script is broken down into individual scenes storyboards and all the locations, props, cast members, costumes, special effects and visual effects are identified. An extremely detailed schedule is produced and arrangements are made for the necessary elements to be available to the film-makers at the appropriate times. Sets are constructed, the crew is hired, financial arrangements are put in place and a start date for the beginning of principal photography is set. At some point in pre-production there will be a read-through of the script which is usually attended by all cast members with speaking parts, the director, all heads of departments, financiers, producers, and publicists.
Even though the writer may still be working on it, the screenplay is generally page-locked and scene-numbered at the beginning of pre-production to avoid confusion. This means that even though additions and deletions may still be made, any particular scene will always fall on the same page and have the same scene number.
Shots
Story boarding (pre visualisation technique), light source, prepared) chase sequence. Close up/mid/fore/background. In filmmaking and video production, a shot is a series of frames, that runs for an uninterrupted period of time. Film shots are an essential aspect of a movie where angles, transitions and cuts are used to further express emotion, ideas and movement. The term "shot" can refer to two different parts of the filmmaking process:
- In production, a shot is the moment that the camera starts rolling until the moment it stops.
- In film editing, a shot is the continuous footage or sequence between two edits or cuts.
Full Shots less intimate with character........single shot/2 shot/3 shot
Internal reverses
Someone talking camera angle is inside or characters own view. (INTIMATE) Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other
external reverses - someone talking and angle is from over the shoulder angle. Outside the area in which people are in (LESS INTIMATE).
Psychological reasonings
More identifed.
Start - full shot to gain trust and less emotionally involved.

Short Film
15th March 2016
Working on finishing off how each shot goes and whether we need to change story. What camera shots are going to go in each one. We also had Fa'a come into our group and help as well.
When going outside to film we felt things needed to be edited there and what was the steps missed that needed to show connection and flow (natural progression). We ended up doing our opening and end shot together at same location. We were constantly having to adapt and change manually the settings for the camera because their was either too much exposure of light and then when we were in indoors it then created another mood or setting so settings were changed once again.
