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?".
Don't get me wrong, I know the general location of what I'm looking for, I know my keys are in the room, or in the Norwich location... somewhere. I just don't have the systematic mindset or the magic wand to pin-point where precisely.
Working on films however requires me to be a lot more disciplined, so I've been forced to up my game in the organisation department. Such large collaborative projects require a high degree of communication and mutual understanding. The materials of the pre production phase are totally integral to an efficient and seamless production process and helps facilitates the aforementioned communication and understanding.
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.
When you know what you're filming, it makes the colossal 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 some initiative and sort the clips into the right bins or folders. regrettably this is something I'm yet to learn, only when I'm tearing my hair out through editing based stress do I think "why didn't I just rename that clip?". I can only suggest that you learn from my production worries and take some time to prepare, beginning with pre-production which will certainly help you later on. That way you won't have your housemates tidying up after you.
