Scheduling Basics

Plan your Shoot and Shoot your Plan!

Create a shooting schedule based on locations and resources. It may be helpful to work in a table format.

1.     Make a list of the talent, crew, props, costumes, etc…
2.     Add any time/day limitations for any of the above.
3.     Breakdown your project by location and time of day.
4.     Add any time/day preferences or limitations.
5.     Make a location schedule with scenes and resources.
6.     Understand what happens in each scene through scripts, storyboards or outlines.
7.     Determine the amount of time you will need at each          location. Remember screen time does not equal shooting time. Always add a cushion.

8.     Determine specific shooting days and times.
