Splitting my project in half

Once i started planning my interview then released that if i film the short film in order (clip to clip) this would make the project extremely difficult; as the imagination sequences are in between each question. This is because i would need to book equipment actors and locations several times.

In order to make my life a little easier i am going to shoot the interview and the imagination sequences separately. So that hopefully I can book the equipment actors and locations only twice. Having my production and planning this way made me realize this is what big movie companies do like paramount, dream works and Marvel. Marvel directors said this to the BBC “One of the most important things we learned is that when you’re shooting two of the largest movies ever made, and you’re shooting them back to back… is don’t shoot ’em back to back,” Anthony told BBC News, confirming the duo’s departure. Marvel film the entire film with each actor so that they spend less money having multiple actors on set not doing anything.

With this in mind i am going to split my two areas into two section/shoots because having this work flow means that my actors don’t need to do that much work meaning they will perform at there peak without falling at all. Also it will be less stressful for me organizing multiple shoot days. Whilst in post it will also be easier because i will be able to organize all my clips into different folders and not get confused with multiple SD cards and not knowing where to put clips. They will all be organized and ready to be cut and edited with effect ext… I will also be able to have very few big editing sessions instead of having lots of small sessions, which works well for me as i like editing in big sessions.

I now need to create a treatment as i am at 100% with my idea and i know what i need to do in the planning stages i just need to execute them now.
