Planning: Filming Schedule

This is the filming schedule for our teen horror film opening called 'The Campout'. The main purpose behind a  filming schedule is to make sure that we achieve a successful production of our opening. This involves getting the camera shots, movements and angles prepared in order to get a smooth flow of filming which is continuous, when it is edited. The filming schedule is vital as it ensures that the whole of the group, including actors and the camera production, know what is happening and when it will happen.
