Organisation of actors, locations, costumes and props

Some of the things we did to manage our time well:


Actors
-We ensured we personally knew all the actors (our friends), so it would be time efficient for us when amending a time and date to shoot.
-If something was not shot correctly, it was not then difficult to get in contact with the actors, largely as we created a Facebook message and added everyone into it.
-We certified that all the actors were willing to do what we asked them to do beforehand.
-We formed a document of the order of the auditions to make sure we do not waste any of the actor's time and we only call them when they are needed.
-We informed the actors way in advance if we needed them so if they were unable to attend, we would have enough time to make adjustments accordingly.

Locations
-We used Call Sheets so we knew exactly which actors, where, when and for what they were needed.
-We created a Shot List to make sure we knew exactly what shots we were doing for each location.
-We also noted next to each verse/line where this would be shot to manage our time well.
-We kept to a minimum amount of locations so it was accessible for everyone and this would also save time and money.

Costumes
-We made a costume list for each actor.
-In our group meetings we discussed who was avail to what costume.
-If no one had certain costumes, we discussed where we could buy them from as long as it was affordable.
-We ensured that our actors were willing to wear these costumes and that they would fit them correctly.

Props
-Similarly we made a prop list too.
-We researched on where and who we could borrow props from such as tea cups, a table and a scientists cloak.
-We tried to keep realistic with costumes and props, thus, we only thought about those props and costumes that were avail to us easily.
