TIMELINES

Students timelines are not detailed enough and some students have not done them. You are A2 students now and a lot more is expected of you. At the moment it is as though you have learnt little from your AS production experience. I need a detailed timeline that gives exact dates and times for the booking of equipment. I need a list of equipment required too. I need to know on what dates you will be location hunting/recce your deadline date for props costumes etc. rehearsal dates for your actors. Dates for camera tests. dates for the ancillary tasks. you need to make clear what ancillary tasks your going to do. What date will your plans for the ancillary task be completed. What dates will you start production of them.

A little mining on the internet for information on the stages of production as well as post production and pre should give you a strong idea of the tasks involved. This is what you should have done originally.
