  • What approaches could your film take and what would be the impact on your pupils?
  • How will you film your production?
  • What will you record? Will you need any props?
  • Who will be in the film?
  • What shot type will you use?
  • What type of outline plan will help you formulate your ideas (e.g. chatting through ideas with others, writing ideas down, storyboarding)?
  • Plan Worksheet

If filming on a tablet or phone, it’s best not to switch between portrait (filming with the device upright) and landscape (filming with the device on its side). Keeping your device in landscape will usually produce the best results.

2. Camera positioning
Where is the best place to position the camera to get a clear shot, without background or foreground clutter? You may also wish to consider whether to position the camera at eye level, higher (high angle) or lower (low angle).

3. Camera framing
Would a long shot, mid shot or close up suit best for the activity you have in mind?

4. Lighting
Are the people being filmed facing the light source rather than standing with their backs to it? (A light source behind the subject will leave them in silhouette.)

5. Sound
Have you chosen a suitable location to cut out background noise? Is the microphone close to the person who is speaking to camera?

6. Use of a tripod
If you are without access to a tripod, have you minimised camera shake with your elbows on a table, shelf or wall?
