Planning - Shooting Schedule & Equipment Organisation

I was due to start filming a little over 2 weeks ago although this was delayed due to weather conditions. This had led me to develop a new shooting schedule which is going to help give me a visual calendar as to what scenes I need to film when I go out. As my trailer is all outdoor shots, I will need to rely on the weather conditions for the plan to go ahead. I do not want bad weather such as strong winds, rain and snow to be in my film shots as this will detract a lot of the quality, as well as adding a different unwanted atmosphere to my narrative.


The date I have set to film some footage is February 2nd 2015 from 2:10pm until 4:30pm. I have prepared all the equipment that I will need as well as informing my actors to ensure that they are available. Prior to planning the filming date I checked the weather forecast which revealed that it would be good, dry weather conditions on my chosen day.


Equipment List

• DSLR Nikon Camera
• Tripod
• Storyboard
• Shot list

These are the only 2 equipment pieces that I will need to film the scenes that I am going to on this date, all of which I have acquired. I will also need to take with me my storyboard and shot list - these together will ensure I don't lose sight of what my trailer is about and make sure that I am able to gather all the correct shots. I have 3 of the above required except from a shot list and therefore it is my aim this week to produce one before my filming date.
