10. My Planning Evidence

In order to make sure that this project was successful I planned it out thoroughly in advance and made detail lists and ideas about what I wanted to accomplish and when.

My Production list and risk assessment

I created this list so that it was clear when and where I was going to film, which was useful for me when I was informing my actors about the schedule for our shots. This list was also useful as it gave a brief overview of the risks that we might encounter, and enabled me to plan a way around these risks to try and reduce the probability of them happening.

My Storyboard

I created my storyboard so that I could have a visual representation of all my shots, which obviously made it easier to plan out and visualise during shooting. This helped me to cut out a lot of time during the actual shoots as I already had the ideas for what I wanted my shots to look like, as well as reducing time wasted in post production.

My Timeline

Pictured above are the timelines for my two adverts, these time lines were one of the very first things I did and they helped me plan my project, with me basing my shot lists and storyboard off of it.

My Shot Lists

These are my shot lists which were very useful during my actual filming for the trailers. As you can see on the left page I ticked off the shots once I had completed them, I also labelled the best shots I had taken to reduce time wasted during editing looking through clips.

My Test Shoot

For my trailers I also conducted a test shoot and created a rough edit of those shots to see how my actual trailers would turn out, I was however very pleased with the outcome of my test shoot and decided to keep the footage and use it in my actual trailers.

My Brand Design

My brand design as seen above, was coloured and designed so that the blue matches the colour of the waves you would see in places like Hawaii where people regularly go surfing, so that it ties in with my tagline 'Don't Crash Out, Ride The Wave.' The letters are placed vertically above eachother so as to connote a wave building up and coming towards you, they are also in silver so that they stand out from the background.
