Unit 1 - Time Management/Materials

Time Management/Materials/Job roles:

Time management:

Time management is an important factor in any production. In film making it's even more important as you need to manage your time effectively whenever you are doing a production. By having good time management you will be able to complete your tasks in the given time and you will increase productivity and efficiency. It also allows you to follow a structure. You can structure what you have to do in specific time periods and this can help you get things done quicker.

An example of a film that had great time management would be fast and furious 6. This film took around 2 years to film as they didn't begin filming it straight after number 5. I believe they intentionally made the viewers wait 2 years so that they could build up anticipation and give the viewers something to look forward to. This grabs the audiences attention straight away as they are constantly thinking about the release of the film and waiting for it to come. Therefore we have to ensure that our production follows the time management because we want to ensure that we meet the expectations of our audience in terms of when they want to see our production.

Materials:

There are a number of different types of materials that can be used. The first type of material would be self made materials. Self made materials are materials which you physically produce by hand. These are materials which you entirely create by yourself and are usually done with a lack of assistance.

The second type of materials would be achieve materials. Achieve materials are when you buy something or you are currently working on something, you finish it to a good standard.

The third type of materials would be library materials, these are materials in which you borrow and they aren't things which you are allowed to keep.

The final type of materials would be props. These are objects that you use during a production. For example in our production.

Unit 1 - Location Recce

An example of a film which has also filmed scenes in an estate would be 'Attack the block'. Thee are many scenes which are filmed in around an estate. This is a good location for us to use because we have gang members in our film which makes this location ideal because it is a spot which you will gang members chilling or doing some sort of activity. 

An example of a film with a car park scene would be the Transporter franchise. This franchise has a car park scene at the beginning of each film. It's a great location to use because it gives you a sense of tension due to the fact you aren't expecting anything to happen in such a hidden location. However we will use this location as it will be a good place to shoot another scene in which involves the gang.

We have chosen these locations because they suit the theme of our short film. Our film involves some scenes in which there are some happy scenes and also some not so happy scenes. We picked a car park because it tends to be a quiet area which would be ideal for a scene in which we would do a chase. We chose a park because it's a nice place to read a newspaper which will be ideal for one of our scenes. We also picked a pier by Vauxhall Bridge because it is a location where when it is dark it is quite quiet which is ideal for a shooting. So it will help us with our finishing scene.
