Pre-Production - Production Schedule

Production Schedule

Here I will be highlighting the key times and dates that us as the filmmakers and the casting will need to make themselves available for in order to make this film happen.

Production Meeting

Below is a table for our production meeting which we will be holding on the 30th January 2018. I have ensured that everything is accounted for in this table and a more detailed run through of what will be discussed is also available.

Time	Activity
10:00 – 10:15	This time will be used to get everyone at the production meeting acquainted and comfortable. I will then explain how the production meeting will go (I will have already sent them the details well in advance).
10:15 – 11:30	The meeting itself. I will detail exactly what we will be doing on each shoot date and will finalise any extra details that I may have to go over. We will go through the script and shot list scene by scene so that everyone is 100% clear on what is happening and what we will be expecting from them. Some of this meeting will just be reiterating what has already been discussed.
11:30 – 12:00	Any questions?
12:00 – 13:00	Lunch.
13:00 – 13:30	Photo shoot. This will be used for the final posters as well as other promotional images.
13:30 – 14:30	Scene rehearsals. An hour’s space to rehearse a couple of scenes with all the actors together. This will give us an indication of their chemistry working together before shoot date.
14:30 – 15:00	Paper work. Get all of the forms signed off before everybody leaves.
15:00 – 16:00	An hours clearance in case we run overtime with anything else.

Josh, Troy and I will be expected to arrive well in advance of this schedule to ensure that we are at the Studios before any of the actors. It would become rather awkward if an actor showed up before any of us.

The first 15 minutes of the day will be used to get everybody acquainted and comfortable and will allow me a little bit of time to go through what we will be discussing in the production meeting.

The next hour and 15 minutes will be used to go through all the key details with the cast and crew. I will go through everyones responsibilities on the day, the shoot schedule (of which they will already have a copy), a quick run through of the script and what costumes they already have and what they still need. We will also discuss payment and travel expenses, as well as the possibility of staying at one of the AirBnB's.

I have allowed half an hour for any questions to be asked by anyone, including myself.

An hour for lunch will be plenty of time for all of the contributors to get settled and comfortable with some food. We will be covering any food expenses.

Half an hour time will be given to take any photos for the posters and any other promotional images that we may need.

For the next hour, we will block one or two scenes with all the actors together to get a look at their chemistry as a unit. This will most likely be the scene where David and Nick are called round to repair the sink and the boiler for Stephen.

I have allowed for half hour to complete any necessary paper work with the casting.

An extra hours clearance will be advertised in case we run overtime with any of the scheduled activities.

Shooting Schedule

Ideally, myself, Josh and Troy should arrive at every starting location around an hour beforehand (08:00) to ensure that we arrive before the cast.
