You should be well under way with the planning of your documentary and should be beginning to have a clear idea of what you imagine it will look like. You should be completing the following tasks:
1. Draft script - This is a first draft of your script, it should aim to be as complete as possible and provide a clear idea of what you imagine the documentary would look like. It is a draft so will alter over time but it should make reference to all the material that you need to film. Your script needs to be be between 5-10 pages long as each page of script will equal about a minute on screen.
2. Mind map/flow chart of sequences - this is a visual representation of your script and provides an idea of the order that the finished film would run.
3. Draft shooting schedule - this can be produced as a table and should outline who and what you need to shoot and when. It also should include the documents you need to complete for that part of the shoot. This is a draft and will be altered and developed in future sessions.
