Planning Powerpoint

1. Planning

2. TASK 1
Pre-production Assessment

3. Guidance:
Pre-production Assessment
• You need to assess the viability of your production and investigate
what is required to enable you to make it.
• Much of this task is hypothetical, which means you will need to
investigate standard costings for such a production and apply these
to your planned production considering which equipment you would
need and resources, etc
• Resources to support this are on Teams.
• Delete the questions on each slide and insert your responses

4. Title of production/production outline
Summary of production
In short, I am creating a podcast talking about the use of recreational drugs in
healthcare and how these frowned upon substances may be the key to treating
many different illnesses.
The intended outcome for my FMP is that I create a podcast I feel proud of and
that people who listen to it are able to learn new things about the subject and
can take away useful information from my podcast.
Duration
The duration of the podcast is set to be around 5-10 minutes depending on the
things we are discussing however if there is more to add then It could stretch
to roughly 15 minutes maximum.
Equipment needed
- Camera
- Audio recording equipment
- Tripod
- Editing software
Introduction Script

5. Equipment
To get hold of this equipment from college I have to fill out a
booking kit form which is available on teams, through this form I
can choose which pieces of kit I need for my podcast and how
long I will need them for.
• Camera
• Audio recording (handheld microphones, dynamic microphones etc)
• Tripod
Equipment hire
• Hireacamera -> https://www.hireacamera.com/
• LensPimp -> https://lenspimp.com/
• YSLV York -> https://www.yslv.co.uk/
• Wedio -> https://www.wedio.com/uk/cameras
Aswell as many different equipment hire
places, college also offers many different
pieces of equipment to hire that cater to all
different projects from using cameras to
creating audio pieces. I will most likely use
the college cameras and microphones as it is
easier to get hold of instead of going to a
hire business.

6. Facilities
• Where will you edit your video? Do you need any other specialist facilities…?
When it comes to the editing section of the project I will be
editing my videos in college time, this will most likely be
after the easter half term as that’s when I plan to record
the audio for my podcast. I will have a time frame of about
2 weeks to edit the whole of the audio I record and
hopefully by the end of it I will have created an interesting,
information frenzy podcast. Potentially throughout the half
term when I finish recording I may have an opportunity to
start editing beforehand on a laptop but the majority of the
editing will be during the days when I am at college.

7. Personnel
• CREW: What is you team? Who is in it? What are each team members strengths/weaknesses? When are
they available?
• CAST: Do you need any external performers? When are they available? Cost implications? Will you have
to feed them? Transport them?
• Other personnel? Is anyone else helping you? Models? Contributors? Interviewees?
For my project it is more myself creating it and working on it rather than a
large group of people, however the only other people to be partaking in my
Podcast is the person I am interviewing/speaking to. There wont be any need for
things like paying for travel and supplying food and things like that as the
person I am interviewing lives locally so it will be easy for them to travel when it
comes to the time of recording.

8. Task 2.1
Creative or Visual Planning

9. Pre-Production: Visual Planning
• This section is concerned with the visual/creative planning of your
production. This is WHAT you want to make
• You should use this section to develop what is it going to look/sound
like and establish what the visual design is and the desired sequence.
• It is important that you ‘pre-visualise’ the project before you make it;
it will make filming and production a more streamlined process.
• The following tasks should be part of your visual planning, including:
• Pre-visualisation and concept boards
• Storyboarding
• Shot list
• Flat plans
• Colour plans
• Draft sketches, etc

11. Pre-visualisation/Concept Boards
• Tool for exploring the direction and visuals
• Provides inspiration and information for the “look & feel”
• Presents key moments in your video
• A means to sketch/plan ideas
• Information on colour/lighting
• Defining the “mise-en-scene”
• Include as much here as you like, but keep it relevant to the
production, the following slides have been left blank for you to
approach in your own way, add more as you need to
• Extension suggestion: edit a short sequence of clips that have
inspired or influenced your video [similar to this:

13. Concept board discussion/explanation
• For the concept board I created it was more of a scene in which it
shows how the setup of how my production will look when
recording. Because creating a concept board for an audio project is
quite difficult as it is solely audio based so there isn’t much to really
show so by creating a scene of how it will look it gives the person
viewing more of an idea as to the kind of setup I will be using. I plan
to create a visually appealing backdrop when we record and film the
podcast as people are also fans of watching how the podcast studios
look and what setups people are working with.

14. Structural breakdown/planning
• Breakdown your project into its basic sections and apply broad visual
and creative ideas to each section.
• You can use this as the master template for your production, then
add more shots/pages, etc to each section when you develop your
full sequenced plan and planned outcomes.
• You should create a slide showing all the sections of the project, then
add a slide for each section with timings, what happens visually and
in terms of audio, page layout aim to have as much specific detail as
possible.
• The structure of the project and method of doing this is dictated by
the type of project.

15. Shot List - Video
• Your shot list should contain the sequential breakdown of what you
need to shoot for your video
• It should work in partnership with your storyboard
• It will be your working document when you film
• It should contain the shot number, scene number, shot description,
framing and action you will see
• It should also have information on performers in the scene and other
props, etc
• Shot list template is on Teams.

16. Storyboarding - Video
• Your storyboard should bring your idea to life
• Provide an idea of the sequencing of you video
• Provides a basis for production visually
• Remember, each frame should be as the camera frames it
• Suggested online storyboard creators are:
• https://www.storyboardthat.com
• http://www.pixton.com [very complicated]
• http://www.storyjumper.com [allows you to insert your own images]
• Alternatively, hand draw or photograph your storyboard and scan or
copy to insert it onto your slides
• There are lots of tips collected together on Blackboard!

17. Audio and other planning
• Remember, video production is a multi-sensory medium, do not
forget your audio planning, whether this is for spoken dialogue,
VO/narration, sound effect or soundtrack. This needs detailed
planning, linking to sequencing and sourcing/creating.

18. Print/non-moving image planning
• Rather than storyboarding and sequence planning, print and still
image projects require different image and layout plans.
• You should research conventions for your chosen medium in your
earlier work and then approach the project using some of the
methods you’ve discovered.

19. Task 2.2
Organisational Planning

20. Organisational planning
• If the visual and creative planning is the WHAT of the production,
organisational planning the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN and WHY of
the production.
• This is the functional planning for the project, applying common
sense and organisation to your creative ideas.

21. Production Group Info
• Include names, contact info, and defined roles at difference stages of
production, using a table is suggested

22. Production Schedule
