Pre Production Checklist
In all walks of life, I'm terribly messy. I don't have a fixed location for anything, be it keys, mobile phone or even the ham sandwich I'd misplaced two days ago, (as it happens I'd left it in the garden hanging out the washing). In fact I recently discovered my friends have made a habit of hanging up my keys whenever they see them somewhere they know I'll never find - and I'm sure they're bored of the phrase "can you ring my phone?".
The thing is, I know the general location of what I'm looking for, I know my keys are in the house, or in the Norwich area somewhere. I just don't have the systematic skill or the super powers to know where exactly.
Video and film production is a collaborative process, involving a huge team of people, many of whom have their own creative ideas and input. It's imperative that this tangled
web of creativity is properly managed and the final objectives and decisions are conveyed to the key people in the production. Thankfully, there are a number of ways to do this and in this short article, I'll be showing you how.
As soon as you've developed a clear way of organising your work, it makes the mammoth task of going through the footage and beginning to put everything together a lot easier. Then when it comes to editing you just need to take a little time and sort the clips into appropriate bins or folders. Regrettably this is something I'm still learning, only when I'm ripping my hair out through editing related stress do I think "why didn't I just rename that clip?". I can only suggest that you learn from my production hardships and take some time to prepare, beginning with pre-production which will indeed assist you later on. That way you won't have your flatmates tidying up after you.
