NOTES FROM PP ON PRE PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES!

What is a shooting schedule?
A shooting schedule is when you plan on shooting the documentary and when you plan to go to certain locations to films.

why is it important to have a shooting schedule?
it is important because if you didn't have a shooting schedule the plan of when to film would mess up and the filming may not get finished on time, also if the crew didn't have a shooting schedule nobody would know when to turn up for filming and when to go to certain locations to film the documentary.

How long does it take to get clearances for music/clips?
Their are many things you have to take into account when getting clearance for clips and music, for example you have to buy the copyright of the song from the record label firstly to avoid copyright issues. secondly you have to get licences for songs called a master licence that would let you use certain songs.

from the documentary look at the credits research the crew members e.g sound, camera and researchers what have they worked on before what qualification/experience do they have?

why is it important to get the right crew?
it is important because if its a documentary like Ross Kemp on gangs which involves danger when filming you will want your crew to be able to go into dangerous situations and still be able to film.

where do you get the money from to fund the documentary? how do you get the documentary funded?

how much is it to clear music or clips from other tv/film companies?
It depends, it can vary depending on who the record label is and who the artist is, it can be £100 to £1000.

what do you think they had to do to get permission to films there?

what are the cost of hiring things like this?

why is having the right kit important?

what archive or material from other films and programs have they used? who would they need to get the clearance from to use this footage?

have they used popular music, who would they have to get the clearance from?

what is clearance/copyright? and who do you pay for/get one?
