This is where your team decides how you’re going to make your film and what you’ll need. Doing a good job at this stage, can save a lot of time later on.  \nOnce your class is familiar with the script you have chosen to make your movie, you’re ready for preproduction. This is where you will assign production roles. You’ll then ask your students to review the script to make notes and lists specific to their areas, and make sure that everything will be ready to goon the shoot days.  \nASSIGNING FILMMAKING ROLES  \nA full list of film production roles can be found in this Glossary document. For the purposes of making a student production work in a short period of time, we recommend you divide the class into groups using the roles below as a guide. Talk to your students about who feels most comfortable in what role, and then assign them appropriately, working in groups to help each other.  \n• Director / Producer: This is usually the teacher.  \n• Assistant director: A senior responsible student who understands the script, the scenes, the shot-lists and camera movements  \n• Production assistant: A helpful reliable student who will always be on hand to help the Director / Producer at any time. They will also be responsible for making a note of credits.  \n• Actors: 3-4 main characters  \n• Camera team: Rotating group of three students who want to learn how to operate a camera. These students should volunteer (they can’t be any of the actors), and the camera team can take turns at operating the camera, and practicing blocking / camera movements in rehearsals.  \n• Lighting & sound team: Rotating group of three students to hold reflector boards, battery  \npowered lights, and find / make sound effects) . A teacher should work with the lighting students, to work out how best to light each scene, encouraging them to note any sound effects and music that would be good for creating the mood of the scene in the script. This team can also practice recording atmospheric sound and dialogue properly.  \n• Props, costumes & makeup team: Three students with a good understanding ofprops, costumes and makeup, who can access dress ups / toys / props / costumes etc. easily.  \n• Set dressing team: 3 students with a good understanding of making a space look good as detailed in the script.  \nExercise: Script readthrough with each department making lists and notes  \nTo make sure your shoot goes well, everyone will need to know what their job is . All departments must be prepared and ready to go with every item that will appear on camera, and those behind the camera knowing exactly how to shoot a scene. Making lists is vital.  \nAs a class, have another read through the script together, pointing out the kind of notes that each team should be making on their scripts. Guide the students in making notes in their notebooks and highlighting on their own scripts, the items relevant to their own department, page by page, scene by scene and (if necessary) shot by shot.  \nActors  \nNote and highlight their character names in the script, and write down notes next to their lines about regarding emotion, inflection, timing and delivery.  \nActors should think about:  \n• What is motivating their character? What does your character want?  \n• What is their back story?  \n• How does the character move?  \n• How do they speak?  \n• What is their general demeanour?  \n• What is their attitude towards life and other people?  \nWrite down how the character might be feeling next to each of their lines.  \nCamera team  \nThis team will need to think about what types of shots would be right for each part of every scene. They should note down their ideas to discuss with the Director later (e.g. wide shot, close up, pan, zoom in) . They will need to practice shooting different types of shots and camera movements in the lead-up to the shoot, so they can execute the plan.  \nLighting & sound team  \nThis team notes what kind of lighting equipment ","cbCaiqWE2HEvA6Yt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqWE2HEvA6Yt","pdf",248355,"English","# Pre–production\n## Assigning filmmaking roles\n## Script readthrough exercise\n## Department notes and responsibilities","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of pre-production in making a student film?\",\"answer\":\"Pre-production focuses on planning how the film will be made, assigning production roles, and ensuring everything is ready for the shoot days to save time later.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the class be divided for assigning roles?\",\"answer\":\"Divide students into groups based on the filmmaking roles provided, discuss comfort levels with students, and assign roles so groups can support one another.\"},{\"question\":\"What should each department do during the script readthrough exercise?\",\"answer\":\"Everyone should make lists and notes specific to their department, then highlight relevant items page by page, scene by scene (and if needed, shot by shot), so each team is prepared for filming.\"}]","Movie Making Resources - Exercise 3 - Pre-production and Filmmaking Roles | PDF",1790388780]
