The Logistics of Filming

How do you ensure you get the well thought out professional shots you need?
  • Make sure it's planned and storyboarded 
  • Knowing every shot and the location you are shooting
  • Practice the shot
  • Good quality cameras 
  • Make sure you have a tri-pod with you
  • Mise-en-scene 
  • Get the shot more than once, so you have a choice when editing
  • Try different ideas, see which one you prefer
  • Make sure your equipment is working
  • Take time to line up your shots
  • Shoot a bit before and after the scene to increase flexibility
  • Watch out for lighting and seasons as they frequently change
  • Film shots that are in the same location at the same time

How do you ensure that your actors are ready to be filmed?

  • Rehearsals 
  • Make sure the actors knows the full story/script 
  • Tell the actors when and where you are shooting 
  • Cast the right actors 
  • Provide costume or tell them what they need if they are purchasing the costumes themselves.
  • Write down what they wear/ take notes of everything, it could help you.
  • Tell the what shot you are going for
