Documentary Planning - location, location

What's on?
  • lDeciding where you plan to shoot video
  • lVisiting sites ahead of time to get a sense of the space
  • lPlanning the order in which you will shoot in different locations
  • lIdentify what the best shots are in each location 
Main Task
Many of you have already visited locations for filming, taken footage, etc. Great work and well done for planning ahead like that.
  • You all need to provide a document containing the list of locations you are shooting in, the order you will shoot in them (including dates you will film/have filmed), and still shots with the name of location. 
  • Include locations even if you have already decided to delete them from the final film. I want to know why.

See the example provided to help.

If you can finish today - great. If not - final deadline Thursday 11th August.

Additional tasks:
It is quite possible you will finish this task ahead of time, or it will not require everyone of your group. Here's some other things to work on:
  • cameraman/editor - plans types of shots for each location
  • talent/writer - scripts any narration, practices voice-over
  • researcher - more b-roll, facts, statistics, research on interview subjects
