Pre-production
In our production of our 9 minute documentary we used the pre-production material as a target. This became very reliable and also very resourceful as it showed us an image of our overall product.  This also meant that it was a lot easier to hand our work in on time. Due to this our production run a lot smoother than planned and it also meant that we worked alongside the brief given.
We always related back to these mainly in filming making sure we captured every shot we imaged when planning. Also when editing, it became easier to piece footage together as we could relate back to the storyboard. This then became the main resource when using programmes such as premier pro. When we understood how we pieced our clips together we could then add effects to such as addictive dissolve to bring it all together.
We used our storyboards in piecing together clips and understanding and agreeing on how we want the clips to look like so it reaches all our expectations. They also reminded us of any scene that we had forgotten to shoot and the type of angle shots we needed. This also meant if a team member wasn’t able to attend any scenes that needed to be shot we were able to go and shoot ourselves.
Our contact sheets became more useful throughout the days of shooting we were able to find out where people were. This also helped with other things such as being able to contact members to save files on memory sticks hard-drives ect.  
Our research we carried out was very helpful as we could be accurate about what we were talking about as it was an anxiety problem. We needed to know all the symptoms and how it effects the way in which we see anxiety. It gave us a good insight into the topic and enabled us to write a script, which was interesting to our audience and also educational. This was the main pre-production material we ended up using.
The most helpful resource was the script. This was used a number of times during filming, to keep us on target. This also made it a whole lot easier and this way the time spent filming was shortened. This also made sure that the audience was getting the right information on Anophobia.
All in all the pre-production used was very helpful and proved to be a success in filming.

Synopsis

Our production will be a documentary on the fear of flying (Aviaphobia). The group contains four of us: Ryan, Zac, Sophie and Hayley; we intend to work together to produce a documentary on Aviaphobia, making a presentation with archive footage of an airport from YouTube, filming interviews of eight experts, such therapists, doctors and an airhostess to gain their advice on how to overcome this phobia and what their opinion on the phobia is. We will be also be using footage of an animated tour simulation of Heathrow airport to give the audience a good conception of what Heathrow airport is like. We have chosen to do this as Zac suffers from Aviaphobia and found this interesting for an idea to turn into a project. We will be spending most of our time editing videos from the footage we have collected to produce the most appealing presentation. We will include a voiceover to give statistics of matters like how many flights from Heathrow happen a year, how many people suffer from Aviaphobia and rumours that have been said to ‘cure’ the fear.
