LO2: Following Production Processes

It was crucial for me to carry out industrial standard production processes throughout all stages of my Climate Crisis product, as I have followed 4 stages in production I will demonstrate on how I have followed processes suitable for that stage.

Stage 1: Planning

In stage one I ensured to have very high standard planning documents that would be relevant in all later stages this ranged from daily shooting schedules, this being crucial planning that allowed a strong structure whilst filming and other documents such as call sheets.
These all being documents that are present on the sets of high production short films such as The Red Balloon one of highest profile drama short films.



Stage 2: Pre-Production

In the second stage of production I followed processes by following safe work practices, this included a risk assessment and assessing any dangers that may occur during filming, this was crucial in pre-production and is a practice on all film sets due to it minimising risk for all crew. As well as this process I also ensured that I had prepared equipment and was prepared for the production stage that followed next.

Stage 3: Production

During the third stage of production this is where the project was filmed, this being arguably the most important stage I ensured I had documents such as footage logs to keep track of production gathered. I also began to start editing the footage in this stage, this meant that I had to edit footage and audio in premiere pro, by editing the film it enabled it to fit into its genres and follow conventions that are important to short documentaries.
In interview clips that had been filmed from a central focus on the interviewee I edited the footage to have the interviewee on the left hand side this allowed talking space around the subject and ensured a documentary style element to be incorporated.


Stage 4: Evaluation 

After the product had been created and finished to a high standard this stage I gathered feedback from target audience members and peers to ensure I would have a full evaluation for the film. As well as evaluating the film I also have given it a film classification in line with the BBFC's ratings, this allows me to think of the distribution process.
