Group Production Plan

Production PlanDirector/Editor: Nigel Chitme Assistant Director: Tamaira LynchDOP/Animator: Tommy Griffin Camera Operator: Daniel Taiwo Assistant Camera operator: Ashley Davy.


Days of production
Responsibility
What has to be done
1
Director
On the first day the director needs to explain the idea to the rest of their team, therefore the team can understand the idea fully and has an idea on which person is having which role. This is very important because if the members in the team doesn’t know the idea then they won’t be able to do their role within the team when they start to do the production. A lot of money could be decreased because of the lack of understanding of the idea, which is very bad for the business.
2
DOP/Animator  
The DOP job is the producing the storyboard of the idea to show how the final piece should look. This is a guideline for the team when they are working on the piece.
3
Assistant Director
The assistant director role is to source the locations that they need for the idea and they need to see if that particular location is suitable for their idea. Also they need to gain permission to shoot on the premises that they want to shoot on and they need to create the shooting schedule.
4
Camera Operator
/Director/Assistant Director
These roles need to book out the equipment that they need to film, they also need to source the talent and they need to get the talent to sign a release form as proof that they give you’re their consent that you are allowed to film them.

8
Editor
The editor’s role is to edit the whole footage and make it look like an ident
9
Everybody
Submit the work to the client.


The ident will begin by having the CTK logo appearing on the screen for literally one second only, then immediately after, the first letter, 'G, appears in big and bold writing. Then that letter will fade out, and the footage for the letter 'G' will appear and play for about 3-4 seconds on screen. So, for the letter 'G', which is for the word 'Grit', you will see footage that displays students in the college being courageous, passionate and brave. This will then apply for the remaining letters.
When the letters appear on screen, they will appear in white writing, on top of a customised purple background. I have chosen this idea because these are the two colours that makes the college recognisable.





The Treatment
My idea for the 30 second ident for CTK is to promote their ethos. Their ethos is 'graces', and every letter is abbreviated. Graces is short for Grit, Respect, Assurance, Curiosity, Endeavour, and Self-Control. The way I wanted to incorporate this into an ident was by giving each letter, along with appropriate footage that matches each letter a total of 4-5 seconds.

The Budget 
The Budget is key to the production this will cover props lighting equipment, Transport, locations and other. the food is one of the most consistent budget payments as this will cover lunch breaks transport will have a budget and the props. 

Transport: £40 to London, on site transport free oyster. 
Food: £150 cover all client needs 
Props: £20 maximum 
Camera and Lighting Equipment: free student project. 

This will be the budget costs as everything else will be free as this is a collage project and do not have access to mainstream companies to help filming such as Sky, ITV and Channel 4. 

The budget will worked with a team to fill the profit equally this way it is organized and we can keep track of all of our resources we have used. locations are free as we are filming.






potential problems with each

The first and main problem we may face is the the way we will have to manage our time especially because we are producing a stop motion ident. the way we are going to make sure that this doesn't make it a problem by setting out a clear and organized shooting schedule within deadlines on when each ident will be shot and edited .


the second problem we may face is with our location, our location is based is the school because we want the viewers to see what they are buying into or in this case signing up for. the location will be full of students going to and from their lesson and trying to to film in tight corridors with people going up and down it can become a health and safely problems but we have set out to shoot while most people are in their lessons and not much is going on so that you can capture a few students.
Designs
Designs we will use will be based on the theme and the idea created by the director, as our theme is CTK Graces we will use a series of colours that represent Christ the King, which are white and purple.
Idents will also be based off of the different element of the sixth form for
example, performing arts. This will tie in with the idents because the subjects contain element that will grab the attention of our target audience.
The energy behind the idents will represent the college as well as the graces, the design of them will represent passion, bravery and courageousness which was spoken about in the initial idea of the idents.
The style of ident we will be using is 3D animation and recorded footage as it will give the college more of a professional and stylistic look which will appeal to our primary audience as well as a secondary audience (parents of the students).

Role Assignemnt: Ident production

I specialize in cinematography and working hard to capture what the viewers are interested in. The ident production will be split for seasons and work to capture the creative themes which make and hold up the suite of ident which we hope to create but I have also had experience in other roles for example assistant director this is what I worked on for the music video production as I assisted the director with his tasks but my main strength is cinematography e.g. photographer, Filming even editing is something that I have wanted to perfect.

The reason why I would like to focus on camera work is so I can work with my team to capture every thing that the ident is showing to the audience and why this is necessary. I want to do the camera work as I like the creativity but I am happy to be assigned assistant director as long as it helps the team as my team are very creative in other fields such as music it is ok for them to take this role as they are creative individuals as well and have good aspiration for the current brief we are facing.

The brief we have is very straight forward and it helps the team to understand the basis for what we want to change our client has been very generous and has tried to give us as music space for creativity as possible while still working within the lines of the brief. As we know that the team can work with this brief we can start to plan out the phases and work on our idents. this will give us time later to edit the work we have made to a suitable standard as the assistant director can work on help for the director and is self explanatory the other roles are harder as they will be finding.

  • Areas to Film
  • Health and Safety
  • Filming
  • Editing
  • Reccy's
  • Transport
With all of this organized we can then work in a flow to create these idents to the best of our abilities this will allow us to get an idea of what the idea is how will we make it and the resources we need for example Lighting and Props food is also important as the crew will need launch breaks for particular times within the day. This keep us on track to finish the project on time without any delays. This is why I want to take the role of the cinematography as this will increase my skills when filming as my knowledge around this has made me understand the more professional values this project will teach me and the new experiences of filming professional idents.
