This is the filming schedule for our production process (shooting). Chelsea had found a website and created the schedule for us, however we all had contributed to plan out dates, locations, props, and the timeline of the shooting. This blogpost is written by me (Audrey).

Before production
How would a schedule help me?
A schedule would help me by organising what I need to do and when I need to do it. It allows me to keep on track so I do not fall behind by the submission date for the project. I may be able to avoid hectic and unexpected events that prevents the continuity of the production progress as this visual aid may help me identify important dates which distinguishes shooting time and other activities. As a group, we may be able to allocate our time spent for the production in order for us to be ensured to meet deadlines and avoid the stress of last-minute works. This also helps us to track our progress together as we share this schedule. It's also ensures a smoother communication between teammates as the schedule brings out a sense of clarity to help with the efficiency of our progress and completion of our project.
Is it realistic?
It should be realistic because we have tight personal schedule that inhibits more time being spent for us to work as a group for our documentary progress. The schedule must be followed accordingly to ensure our project is finished completely before submission date. It acts as a benchmark for us to finish and tick out our to-do list for every week, specifically for the shooting. Chelsea found this website (Jotform) which provides an easy layout for us to separate filming schedule, to-do lists, and list of production requirements which makes it easy for us to understand and comprehend our needs for the completion of this project. Hence, the importance of this schedule to be followed.
What problems might I face?
I think the biggest concern would be unexpected or sudden events, such as sick/absence for school lesson or unable to come to shooting days or even weather that prevents shooting to continue, this would hold back our production progress. This is very concerning which is really why I hope that we can all prevent from this circumstance to happen. And if it does as it is completely out of our hands, we hope for the best that we can manage and deal with the possible challenges.
After production
Problems:
I was sick in one of the days where we had to shoot on the beach. The weather was also gloomy which concerns the continuity of the shooting process. This already foreseen by us which is why we had prepared another location to shoot if it rains. Luckily, it didn't rain and we added the gloomy whether to match the dark appeal in crime documentaries to conform to the conventions. My friends were also capable to conduct and keep the production going as I was absent that time.
Another problem identified was the unavailability of the cast to attend to the allocated date and time for our shooting.
Solution:
We had to change the dates in order for the whole cast needed can attend the shooting/production progress as this was really important. This was managed easily and calmly by me and my peers as we started to shoot our scenes earlier and prioritise to shoot our documentary project.
Action plan:
Although we had predicted the challenges we're gonna face, it is important for us to actually avoid these circumstances. We have to be able to create this schedule earlier so that we have more time to allocate and discuss our shooting dates with the other crews and cast.
