Shooting Schedule

What is a shooting schedule? A shooting schedule is a pre-prepared plan of each day's shooting during a production. The plan is created by the production team and needs to be okay-ed with every member within the production. Each scene is given a new number, not in chronological order, but scenes are grouped together regarding their settings and actors required, so that the filming crew does not have to keep going back and forth to locations. Mikey and I created a shooting schedule for our production. This really helped up with our filming, as for example; we had several scenes that took place on a rugby pitch, so instead of filming the storyboard in chronological order and for the actor playing the protagonist to have to keep getting changed, we managed to film all 7 scenes outside within the same day. It is an effective way to pre-prepare the whole filming and acting team together, to ultimately ensure that filming is finished for a specific date so editing can commence. With planning to complete the filming as soon as possible, Mikey and myself gave ourselves enough time to edit the production to the best of our ability and leave some time for some re-filming if this was required.
