PLANNING

What did you learn from your Due to the current situation we are facing, I could only do a
planning this week? certain amount of planning. I still knew what y documentary was
going to look like so I was able to do as much planning as I
could. As I couldn’t write a full script for my documentary, I
wrote a short introduction which will be heard at the start of the
documentary.

What issues did you encounter and I came across some issues when planning as of the situation. I
how did you overcome them? was unable to do the location reeces because I am doing a video
call interview and I don’t know there exact addresses, so I
overcame this by writing the plan and an idea of where it will be
for example in their bedroom. I was not able to do auditions for
the people I was going to interview so I just did some research of
the TikTok accounts to get a better idea if they were the right
person to be interviewed.

How did you ensure that your I didn’t need complete storyboards as I’m doing a documentary.
storyboards were completed to a
high standard?

How has your planning During my planning, not much has changed apart from after
developed/changed during the doing research into my topic I was able to think about how I will
planning stage? include the fact and statistics in my production. I thought about
it for a while and I came up with an idea, when I include my b-
roll I will include these facts here. This means that something is
still on the screen and it will hopefully not lose their interest.

How have you ensured your A can’t write a full script because I’m doing a documentary, I
script/shooting script is of a high wrote a short introduction. In the introduction to make this up to
detailed standard? standard I made it as detailed as I could with catchy phrases and
facts. His will hopefully make the viewers want to carry on
watching.

How well have you managed and I had already spoke to some of the cast before my planning,
organised your cast and crew to be asking sure that they were available from the end of May til
in available when you need them? June. However, I would only need them once and for the
maximum time for 15 minutes. When I created my cast and crew
list, I explained who they are and what they would be doing. I
then researched into their TikTok accounts looking at followers,
posts and their viewers. This then enabled me to know whether
there was the right person to be interviewed.

Are you on track for the week? If Yes I have done everything.
