Skills Development - Planning

I think i can confidentaly say that this year my planning skills have been 10 times better than in my AS year. As everything was filmed in one of the meeting rooms, we knew that if we missed anything out or needed togo back and re-film some footage we could easily do that, however this year that wasn't the case and so when making our plan for every time we went out to film we had to know exactly what it was that we were going to be doing on that day.
 
The first bit of real planning that had to be done was a thorough storyborad which even now, months later, is very close to how our final music video came out, even we thought that it would just be a rough idea that we could use as a starting point but we ended up sticking to it which i feel makes our video a lot stronger as it was planned properly.  In our story board we included every shot from beginning to end including camera angles/movement, timings and locations and we followed through with all of it which was one of our strengths.
 
Apart from the story board, it was my responsibility to plan the costume for every location, when doing this i had to take into consideration what kind of backgrounds i was going to be performing against to make sure the costume stood out and that it was clothing that would look good on camera, i also had to make sure the style was consistent.
 
Overall i think i've done quite well with planning, i have definately improved since last year and worked on sticking to initial plans and paying attention to detail.
