Evaluation

Introduction 

 I was given the assignment to complete the preproduction for my script, which I wrote back in November, for this class. I was expected to organize the cast and crew for the entire project, find venues, and reserve the necessary equipment. 

Logistics 

 I first began to separate all work and divide it into levels of ease, just so I knew which productions I could do easily and which required more work, such as contacting people, booking events, and researching equipment prices. I had a pen and paper nearby and made the list, ensuring that all of my work was divided into equal sections. I kept track of everything by using Microsoft Word to manage my files. Because I had a separate document for everything, this made things easier for me. 

Finance 

 I didn't need to reserve a location expressly for filming, which saved me money. In addition, I already had most of the necessary equipment, including a camera, laptop, software that I use at school, and an audio set that the school owns. So even if money wasn't a big concern for me, I still had to keep it to a minimum and be careful not to suddenly go over to prevent any issues. 

Creative Management 

I had to give this my full attention and put considerable effort into it. I didn't have any actors for the original submission because I didn't have anyone in mind, but for this resubmission I had to go out and locate people who would be willing to act. In order to create my ideal scene, I preferred to go out and explore for locations and imagine how to change them there. 

Management 

Even if my management wasn't the finest, I made an effort to maintain a high level. All of my production files were contained in a single large file that contained numerous smaller files. However, I believe it would have been simpler for me to work if I had a better file management system. I had trouble locating several of my files since they had become disorganised. 

Resource management 

 Since this movie has a little budget, I already have everything I need. I own the camera, the lights, and the audio equipment. Only the outfits I'll need to buy were the only things I actually needed to acquire. In order to make any necessary annotations, I use a Microsoft whiteboard. I can actually work at my own pace on the project I'm working on. Canva is another tool I use for some of my work. For example, I struggled to find a location recce template online, so I wrote it down by hand and added a photo of it using Canva. 

Time management 

 I had to create goals for myself and try to meet deadlines because otherwise, I would have a lot of work to complete all at once. I made an effort to keep on schedule and set reminders for myself on my calendar based on the dates to help me remember what I need to accomplish and how much time I had left. 

Professional practice 

I made an effort to conduct myself professionally by contacting cast and crew through emails. To avoid coming across as unprofessional, I also made an effort to use formal language. 

monitoring procedure 

 I made every effort to look back on what I had done and consider what I had done well and what I could have improved upon. This made sure that I was doing my best work. 

crisis management 

 When I was faced with having to complete a tonne of work in a short period of time, I started to rush and made numerous mistakes in my work. 

Maintaining Documents 

I had a successful management plan. I had everything I needed in a single, sizable folder, making it easy for me to locate it. 

 

Overall 

Overall, I believe that I should locate and contact the cast and crew first because they are the most difficult to locate, and once you do, they will respond in accordance with their schedule, which could take a few days or weeks, so you need to be aware of that. Additionally, be very certain of the area you require so that you can reserve it and have a clear understanding. I was considering my positions up till the very last day since I wasn't certain.
