Merit
M2:
documentation will cover all the procedures relevant to the type of production
being undertaken in some detail. It will be presented carefully and neatly, and
will be organised clearly.
M3:
learners will demonstrate that they can undertake pre-production work that
enables the efficient completion of the product. It should be noted that the
quality of the resulting product is irrelevant to the assessment of this unit.
Distinction
D2:
documentation will be comprehensive and thorough with a detailed breakdown of
all procedures relevant to the type of production being undertaken. It will be
very well-organised and presented to a standard that approaches professional
practice.
D3:
learners will be able to apply their pre-production planning to the proposed
production to a standard that approaches professional practice, for example,
ensuring that all the resources are in the right place at the right time. Their
planning will enable the successful completion of the product, though it should
be noted that the quality of the resulting product is irrelevant to the
assessment of this unit.

Director’s Commentary
Introduction
- What
are the main 3 things you have learned from this experience about the
PROCESS of managing and organising a film production?
- How
good was your group at Problem-Solving and when did this happen?
Main Body
Discuss the Strengths and
Weakness of your pre-production in managing and organising time, crew &
cast, resources (kit and props and costume) – use the following to break it
down
- Was
your Shooting Schedule initially detailed and realistic enough to allow you to achieve good quality and
complete the recording of all the footage?
- Was
your Storyboard detailed and substantial enough to fully cover the 5
minute film?
- Was
your Shot List organised correctly in order of how you would setup these
shots to make the most of the time available (i.e. grouping them?)
- Were
your locations suitably Recce’d to consider background noise, lighting and
permissions
- Were
your actors rehearsed, organised and the right choice for your characters?
- Did
everyone in your crew know their roles and take responsibility for them?
- Was
the equipment checked, charged and working properly before you set up your
shoot?
- Were
your Call Sheets effective in that all resources and people turned up on
time?
Conclusion
- How
effective overall was your management of the production process – and what
you improve on next time?
