In these sessions we chose our roles for the film and were told what each of those roles did during production. We watched some shorts with May, who took us through the different types of camera shots that were used and that we may use, as well as differing types of recording devices and the importance of lighting and set design. My chosen departments were production and set design. My role in pre production was to help write up the call sheets and risk assessments, as well as find travel routes to the set for transport. The process of the film starts in the preproduction. all the planning an setting up needs to be done if the shoot is going to go according to plan. the day needs to be timetabled so that there are adequate breaks for everyone. So that everyone knows where they need to be at what time, what their job is. Meals need to be booked or sourced. Set up time and makeup needed to be taken into account. Even the time the sun goes down had to be checked for our film so we knew how much of the day we'd have to shoot the day scenes. The set designers job is to make sure that a set is ready for shooting. Everything that is required to give a room atmosphere is positioned correctly and anything that can break that atmosphere must be removed. We also looked over the script and made some final alterations until we were happy with everything.
Bellow is a blank call sheet. In the planning sessions, it was the job of the production team to fill it in. The call sheet shows what scenes are being shot on that day, the times shooting and breaks should be happening and who needs to be where.
