The production schedule

This is our production schedule/ This is important to keep track and to keep organised over the course of filming. Many films, especially big budget film have used production schedule in order to stay on track. For example films like Schindler's list was shot in a very short production schedule. A shorter production schedule means as Steven Spielberg said "get the feel for the film". If we can have a short production schedule where the filming is relatively close together and it is done in chronological order we ourselves can get a feel for the flow of the film. If we do it over a longer space of time, and not shoot it in chronological order, the feel when film making will feel disjointed and the overall final product might not be as good if we shot it in a short space of time in chronological order.

Not only that, as said previously it is important to keep on track and be organised being organised when shooting a film. We need to choose dates where all the actors, editors and cameramen are all free, if not the film might not even be completed. So in order to do this, we split up the schedule into three separate stages. Each stage being a day.  This is because each one of our editors and cameramen are free  on different days, so in order to complete the film  we separated the two so to do their jobs on days that they are free to do so.

Actions or jobs needed to be completed	Stage 1/day 1/ Monday	Stage 2/day 2/Tuesday	Stage 3/day 3/Wednesday
Risk Assessment	All possible risks while filming will be assessed and addressed to ensure no injures will occur.
