Here comes my favourite part of every term whenever there's a film project to work on: schedules! Oddly enough, scheduling seemed like a very normal task for me to do whenever we have a film to work on and to abide within a certain time frame.

Overall shot list (close-ups are below)

Close-up of shot list (i)
I learnt from our Crew Project sessions with Rosa to name our shots at least by 100s (e.g.: sh0100), just in case that we might have to remove or add extra shots in. This system will allow the production to add in whatever shots that may be required in the long run or remove them as see fit without disrupting the numbering sequence.

Close-up of shot list (ii)
I decided to add in the lip-sync criteria which will help the production know which scenes may require lip-sync animation, alongside with the line of dialogue. The duration of each shot has also been added into the shot list to ensure that we stick with the length of the voiceovers and also the timing that we have set for the animatic.

For the pre-production bible that I was working on: 'Dance of Life', I decided to make a checklist for the team to ensure that we have the contents we needed for a good solid bible before the hand-in rather than guess what was unnecessary and second-guessing which elements were to be included.
