  I've completed this pre-production activity to keep track of all pieces of work I've finished towards my short film. This is important as it maps out exactly what has already been done and what needed to be completed as well as explaining each aspect of pre-production. This has helped me in the long run as I was able to keep track of what I was doing and also made revising easier as all of the explanations for the pre-production processes were in the same place.

Diagetic and Non-diagetic sound  I completed this pre-production activity after my research into copyright and royalty free music. By finishing this work, I have been able to thoroughly consider the type of music and sounds I would like to feature in my film as well as where I could get it from. This type of research has helped me with my project because it's allowed me to make solid decisions that will be unlikely to alter during the filming process.

Production Equipment List I've completed this pre-production activity so I can have an exact idea of the type of equipment I will need to borrow from school alongside the quantity and when it will need to be collected/ returned. This will help me with the organisation of my project as it will help provide a strict date in which something would need to be filmed, making me less liable to overrun in filming. Equipment Quantity Collection Date Return Date Mac/PC 1 21/3/21 25/3/21 Video editing software 1 21/3/21 25/3/21 DSLR camera 2 21/3/21 25/3/21 Tripod 1 21/3/21 25/3/21 SD cards 2 21/3/21 25/3/21 Steadicam/shoulder mount 1 21/3/21 25/3/21 Prime lens 1 21/3/21 25/3/21 Standard lens 1 21/3/21 25/3/21 Rode mics 2 21/3/21 25/3/21

  I've completed this pre-production activity to make note of any issues I could face during the filming process of my project. By already considering potential issues before filming starts, I will be more likely to prevent them from happening and will be less likely to encounter any huge problems that would take a considerable time to solve. This will help me in the long run as I will have prepared for anything negative in advance.
