SHOOTING SCHEDULE TEMPLATE

You're marked on time management so want to be able to record and evidence your time management; download and modify as you wish
Shooting Schedule--log for Insert Group Name

STORYBOARD TEMPLATE

If you need any from home, you can use the doc below, one of several designs from http://xinsight.ca/tools/storyboard.html
A note on storyboarding though - they are necessary, useful and gain marks, BUT its easy to be limited by them, and also to spend excessive time on drawing lovely pictures. Stickmen are fine; its just important you get proportions right to accurately represent the shot type, angle, framing etc.
To make sure its clear what you intend, use screenplay-style written denotation too; try to use capitalised abbrevations (LA/HA/MA/DutchA; ECU/CU/MCU/MS/MLS/LS/ELS) + cam movement (pan, tilt, track; note if handheld)

IDEAs NOTES SHEET

Download and edit as you wish. Again, using docs like this helps with achieving marks for R+P - but also helps to set out and organise your ideas, and make it clear what you've got to organise!
Use this for class exercises but also for any coursework project ideas

CALL SHEETS

Download this and modify as you wish; delete all the text above the table apart from the title
Using these and thus being able to evidence your use of call sheets (also storyboards and shotlists) will help you with marks for time management plus organisation of resources.

MAG AD: dimensions

Conor asks: 'Sir, regarding the magazine adverts, what are the dimensions it needs to be? e.g does it have to be a full A4 page or can it be a smaller (but with the same information on it) such as the Charlie Simpson photo attached? It's just that I've taken some photos for the backdrop and put some great filters on them, but they can't be maximised much without the quality been drastically reduced.'

Answer: Ideally, dimensions to fit accurately the mag you're placing it in; and remember there are full page, 1/2 page etc ads (each carrying different prices - most mags contain details or contact details to find out, as ads, NOT cover prices, form the bulk of the publisher's income in most cases. Some groups last year produced a variety of ads, citing different page sizes for different ads. To show awareness of aud + institution you MUST be specific on which mag/s; where in them + what size; why (and price detail would be a good touch)

Look to last year's blogs for good examples 

So long as proportion/shape are accurate, at a push you can include ads that are scaled down - tho' again think about selling it as a half or 1/4 page ad. There's no need to print these off - so long as they look good embedded on screen thats the main thing

Call sheet + production logs

You can download and modify these, or simply print off
