Perfecting production work

This is what I learnt from the conference:
·         Research
o   Look at lots of examples and use them as models for your film
o   Think about conventions, audiences and institutions
·         Planning
o   Things that could go wrong
o   Record all planning as evidence
o   The journey of the project as a blog
·         Evidence
o   Storyboards
o   Animatics
·         Ideas
o   Keep them simple
o   Workable concept with REALISTIC plans
o   Try a 25 word pitch for the whole film
·         Feedback
o   From peers and friends
o   Keep a record of feedback
·         Logistics
o   People
o   Props
o   Places
o   Costumes
o   Get it done early,, there is always time to reshoot
o   Rehearse before shooting to save time
·         Equipment
o   Start with the big picture and fine tune things much later
·         Extra info
o   Show titles throughout the film
o   Heartbeat sound in a film creates a scary effect
o   Walk normal speed when filming, this can always be speed up or down
o   Check lighting (inside with windows)
o   Don’t tell the whole story
o   DO NOT ZOOM ON THE CAMERA!
