A filming schedule is a project plan of each day's shootings for a film product. The filming schedule provides a plan of what is going to happen and be including in each shot of a film production. This informs me and my group members the brief subjects and equipment that are needed in each shot, so that we know what we have to do. If we were not to have a film schedule, we would not have a brief idea of what we would have to include within our thriller production, also it will be chaotic as we will be rushing and making up all the shots on the spot. 
Firstly, we did not follow the filming schedule in the beginning as we had planned on starting to film on the 3rd of December but then we realised that as its winter and it gets dark earlier, we wouldn't make it to the park to film the flashback. Also as the Wednesday was a school day, it would be hard for us film quick as possible because our school and my little brother's, who is playing the boy in the flashback finish at different times, so we would have to wait for my brother to come out of school as he finishes later. Furthermore as it is the winter period, it gets darker quicker so if we were to film the flashback straight after school we wouldn't of got the best lighting we would of liked for the scene.
However like the film schedule states that we would continue to film on Saturday 6h December, we followed this and filmed the flashback which was the park followed by the bus stop scenes of the two girls walking down. As we wanted a gloomy effect in the lighting of the park scene, we waited for the sky to turn slightly darker so that it would reach to our expectations. However even though our plan was to finish filming the whole thriller on this date, we couldn't do this due to the fact that some people couldn't stay longer e.g ella had work to go to and also our thriller required a dark setting meaning it was already late.
So we all decided to film the forest scene on the following Tuesday and finish off the whole thriller, the reason for the delay this time was because our camera ran out of charge. Therefore we allowed the camera to charge all day and then film the rest of the thriller where the protagonist is seen running away from the antagonist in the forest.
To conclude, the filming schedule was helpful as it made our communication skills within our group stronger but also we did face minor difficulties whilst filming causing us to not follow it as we planned to do. However with these faults it allowed us to make quick new adaptions to our plan of filming.
This post demonstrates a proficient understanding of what a filming schedule is and the benefit that it has to a production. The table that you have included, also helps to demonstrate evidence of group planning.
