Production Report Part 1 – Development

You need to start developing your production report.

This is a 2,000 word report which will be submitted in 5 sections:

  1. Development
  2. Pre-production
  3. Production
  4. Post-production
  5. Reflection

The content of this report is worth up to 2/3 of your final mark for the collaborative project. There are no extensions on deadlines. We have to submit your film and the report to the IB by the end of this term!

This means you must submit the report in stages in order to get feedback.

Full guidance on the production report can be found here.

The first deadline is next Friday 24th January.

The production report will be submitted in two sections. Please complete the first 400 words on:

  • The development of your short film idea.
  • Your role in the development process.
  • Your work within your team to shape the shared vision
  • Your creative intention
1. Creative work in my film production role (200 words)
  • You should also discuss why you chose your particular role and what you hope to bring to the project
  • Then, you should discuss how have you drawn inspiration from the work of film makers, specific (named) cinematographers, editors and sound designers.
    • What specific techniques (micro) have they used to convey meaning within their work?
    • You should attempt to cite at least two specific films or short films and use screenshots.
2. Collaboration with my core production team (200 words)

This section should reflect back on how you developed your idea and then how you worked as a group to refine and shape your shared vision.

  • This should include discussion about the brainstorming process.
    • What if…
    • Interesting Characters
    • Stories from the news, anecdotes, jokes…
    • Inspiration document (location, prop, sound, costume)

  • Describe and discuss your shared vision (the slide show) and how the group idea took shape.
  • Finally you should conclude with your groups creative intention.
    • This will be clarified and agreed in your pitch.
