Shot List
The first piece of work I did for the pre-production was the shot list. To do this shot list I looked at the script and wrote down every shot there was. These had to be separated by scenes and shot numbers. After finishing the first draft i had a discussion with my group members to see whether anything needed changing. By the end the changes we spoke about making were more shots. Almost every scene had more shots added to it to add to the atmosphere we want to create in our film. This atmosphere we want to create is frightening and nerve racking and felt adding more shots would help create this;

Storyboards
The storyboards were the lead off from creating the shot lists. The storyboards were straight forward however took a lot of time and effort to complete them. I completed the description on the storyboards.
As a group we all worked together to draw out the images once the storyboards had been complete. The only problem we had with the storyboards was getting the drawings done on time which took a while to finish. Each group member did four pages each of drawing for the pictures to the description;

Production Name
A production name was needed for the film and a design to go with it. I created the name 'ThaT Production Company' with a logo to go with it. This can be used when creating the postcards and so on. I created a few logos and asked for class members opinions. After the feedback was around 50/50 i decided both of the designs can be used at various stages in the project if needed;
Location Recce
The location recce is set of panorama images of all the locations our group will be filming. The reason behind doing a recce is to make sure all the areas of filming have been examined and thought about. After our group director Emily chose the locations, our other group member Carolyn, took the photos and edited them;

Costume and Props
It was important to look at this subject before as it would help us when we came to preparing to film. The costume and props were put into a table for each scene, for each character. These were completed by group member...
Mood Boards
The mood boards were created to further our understanding of the protagonist in our short film Lucieanne. These were completed by group member Carolyn;
Technical Recce
The technical recce was a follow on from the location recces and looked at them in more detail. These were completed by member Sohail;

Actor Profiles
The actor profiles were created to aid our director Emily when she needed essential information quickly about her actors. The profiles were created by Carolyn;
Shooting Schedule
The shooting schedule was created to ensure the group is organised and ready for filming.
Camera Pre-practice
After being chosen to be the camera man in our group it was important I learnt how to set up and use the expensive piece of equipment. The first demonstration for using the camera was the basic setting up. This will help me when I come to filming and will not waste time when on set trying to figure out how to use set up and use the camera. We recorded ourselves showing us;
Setting up the tripod;
Putting the base-plate on the camera, putting the camera on the tripod, attaching the battery and inserting the tape;
Setting up the recording format to 16:9;
The next stage of the camera test was recording with the camera to demonstrate the skills we have learnt. What we had to demonstrate in this recording was the zoom, NDs and colour balances. The whole point of doing this experiment was to help us when we came to filming for our A2 film. If I have learnt anything from doing this it would be remembering to change the recording format to 16.9. As I did not change it to do the experiment this is a key learner to remember the correct recording format when filming for our short film.
Recording test;
The final test we did on the camera was the 85 filter experiment. What we had to show was what the camera looked like indoors and outdoors with an 85 filter and with and without. This will help me when I come to film for our group short film as I have learnt the 85 filter will help enhance the lighting.
Sound Pre-practice
As group member Sohail was chosen to be in charge of the sound it was vital he learnt the basics pre-filming. Sohail and two classmates had to demon-straight how to set up the sound equipment. This was important as everyone in the group needed to know their role. Below is one of the videos Sohail featured in. The rest of the sound clips can be found on Sohail's post 14 which has been linked at the bottom of this post.
