Dirt Book

To continue with planning and organising my progress to meet my timescale, I have recorded this within my 'dirt book', below.

Time Management

I have found the organisation of my shoots and audio throughout my production process to be very successful, mainly due to my;

• Effective time management pre-production and production (although editing is where I started to struggle due to my unfamiliarity with Final Cut Pro which slowed the pace of this process)
• Detailed, early planning and organisation of script, costume, sound and mise en scene etc
• Early organisation of sound and fast-responsive musician
• Enthusiastic and helpful presenter who was very accessible and flexible for shoots
• Small cast, which lowers the probability of conflicts of availability
• Organisation and arrangements with actors via texting, due to the fast-responsiveness of this method

Using SlideShare below, I have attached some of my conversations with my presenter, Rowan, to demonstrate my organisation of dates and times for filming shoots. The arrangements are quite casual due to our close relationship, whilst also being detailed and precise.

Production Log #3 - Shooting Update

I've rescheduled to shoot with Rowan on Sunday morning rather than tomorrow as shooting would be difficult whilst I'm feeling under the weather. This won't affect my timescale as I can't begin editing until I'm back at school next week with access to Final Cut Pro editing software on the Mac computers.
