Research And Planning
By Rylan Hollingworth
Primary Research / Secondary Research
• Primary research is where you go out and get the research yourself, for example making questionnaires and Interviews
• Secondary research is where you receive information but from another source, for example reading a book or looking on the internet.
Qualitative and Quantitative Research
• Qualitative research is text based research. For example, books and all things you read would be qualitative.
• Quantitative research is numerical based research, for example questionnaires and graphs.
Codes And Conventions
• These are the main things you would relate to a specific genre of which ever product you are researching. For example, with Sci-fi you may relate it to aliens and spaceships etc.
Planning – Location Recce
• Location recces are used as a base for where the crew and actors will need to meet for filming purposes.
Script/ Storyboard
• A script is a for actors to learn. It directs them of what actions and lines they will have to do.
• A storyboard is a summary of each scene in the film with an illustration to represent the scene.
Equipment
• You need make note off all the equipment used for your filming so that you know what you need and incase `anything goes missing it helps to know what you’ve lost.
Risk Assessment
• A risk assessment is there to tell you what risks you MAY come across when filming. It also tell you the solutions to these problems that may occur.
Release Forms
• Release forms are required for everyone who has been filmed so that they can give you there consent to go ahead with publishing the film to the public.
Timetable
• Timetables are used so that crew and actors know all the days and what times they need to meet for filming.
Plan B
• A Plan B is always needed when filming, just incase something goes wrong, for example, an actor is sick or the place you wanted to film is not available.
