Planning: Pre-Production Paperwork - Ms Begum

Pre-Production Paperwork

Introduction: Pre-Production paperwork is important because it prepares you for filming. Pre-Production could be from  making a storyboard to completing release forms. Pre-production gives you and your team an idea of what you're going to do and what your finished production would look like. However,  above all pre production is relevant because of health and safety. Pre-production is carried out to make sure that the creation of your production is a safe and secure environment

Dear Sir/Madam

I’m writing to confirm our agreement which was:

·         You are willing to allow the producers to record in the chosen location. The camera would be important to use and the property would be needed to produce the film to the best of our ability.

·         The period would come from the 10^th of December until the 24^th of December and the other days of the half days would be agreed upon before filming

·         All the rights in the recordings made by the producers at the property chosen would be secured with the producers and they are entitled to be able to assign, licence and/or exploit the same by all means in all media as they may at their absolute discretion elect. The producers would be able to refer to the property as its real name.  Moreover, shall have no obligation to the owners to include any or all of the recordings in any films or programmes or to exploit to the same in any programme or film in which the same are included.

·         If an unfortunate incident occurs such as any sort of damage done to any product caused by the film crew, we would replace or pay for it

·         What we expect from the location is that it’s a safe place to film. Furthermore, at the film of filming everyone that isn’t a part of the film shouldn’t be present in the location. We would make sure that the location is left at the way it was originally after the filing has finished.

This agreement shall be easily assignable to the producers and shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of England, Wales and Scotland.

Thank you for devoting your time in reading this agreement.

Yours faithfully,

Location Recce Form

This is the location recce form to confirm that the location the cast will be using for this Thriller is set in Leda Avenue Enfield United kingdom

The reason the cast agreed to use this location is because it best fits the scene to our film opening of “The Ritual”. This is also relevant to the thriller genre because it’s based in a dark room where the iconography and Mise en scene of the film meets the genre standard. We chose to use a dark room in Leda avenue because that’s where our opening scene will be created, filmed and edited. This is also a good place to shoot because it is not far from where the cast is originally based at. (In this Case, Oasis Academy Hadley.)

The difficulties the cast may face are based on when the location is vacant and can be used for filming and what time is the best time to start shooting scenes and to finish shooting scenes. Also the cast is to agree on contacting

each other to let the each other know that they won’t be Attending to the filming or running late to arrive at the Destination.

Given below are ways on how to get to the destination and what transport is needed to get there.
