Research
- Look at real examples of professional productions (magazines, articles, trailers)
- Document evidence- log books, logging sheets, diaries
- Research from every angle- film titles , production logos
- Look at conventions, audiences, institutions- focus on a specific audience and what the conventions are for that audience's genre
- Annotate examples from magazines, stills from trailers
- Plan for all eventualities- things can go wrong (people don't turn up, equipment doesn't work) use initiative and plan for anything
- Record planning via log sheets, visuals, blogs which document locations, characters, cinematography and show 'process of journey'
Blogging
