reflection of production stage.

Over the last few weeks we have had to plan changes due to problems that have occured. The purpose of the changes made by all of us was to make things easier. We have also had to re-plan he times of shooting as we found some of the lighting wont work as we experimented.

We have hd a few problems over the last few weeks, one after another.
Our first huge problem, was that our main actor didn't turn up on the day we needed him. He forgot he did have university. We decided to get another actor in, however, that failed as we couldn't find anyone who was willing to do it. Therefore we have had some major delays in the filming of our video.
We have also had to get rid of the band idea as the band we got hold of (and other people) havent got back o us, or as other commitments that they cannot get out of. So, we now have to stick with using one person to 'sing'.
Because we have not got muc time left to film we had to scratch the location for the kitchen and replace it with nat's kitchen as it takes too long to get from one place to another. I also decided that it would take to long to get permission of homebase for the bed scene so we will do that at Nat's house also.

We have had to have alot of patience for this video. It's been extremely difficult and stressful, but i am going to need to get alot stricter, as the director, to get this video finished.

Over the next few weeks we desperatley need to overcome the hurdles and finish the video and start on our editing. Hopefully with the editing we won't have as may problems occuring.

storyboard.

This is the last page in the storyboard. This shows you at the end, that the first two shots is repeated. This is to show the outcome of the guys actions. It also explains that hopefully, every single shot in the shot list will be repeated extremely quickly before a blackout that will finalise the ending.

I drew this one.

storyboard.

The third page of the storyboard shows you even more of the shots. We do have quite a few shots but none of them will last too long. Hannah drew this one.

storyboard.

This is the second page of our storyboard. Again it shows you roughly what we want it too look like and is labelled. However look at our shot list that will explain each picture in a little more detailed. Each picture is numbered to make this easier and the stroyboard makes our "job" a little more simple.

I drew this one.

storyboard.

This is the first part of our stroyboard. This shows each shot to give a rough background of what we are expecting it to look like. If you look at the shot list below then it should clearly explain what is happening in each shot.

We all put work into these story boards, we each drew a page. Natalie did this one.

all aspects of planning.

This is our second call sheet. We needed two, as we have more than three locations and the same location but for different scenes.

all aspects of planning.

We have two of these call sheets in total. These help us to plan ahead, including knowing the time we are going to spend, where it is and what/who we will need. Hannah has the responsibility to make sure t contact out actors a day before, using the contact part of the cal sheet,to make sure they can get in on the date set.

These will help us greatly and make us all more organised and hopefully make it quicker and easier to get the music video done on time.

booking and permissions.

This is the booking and permissions table that we completed. It is not much but it is enough for us to take a look at it when we need to know our own responsibilities of booking certain places and getting permission. We have given ourselves certain roles within the roles of director, producer and production manager so we all have to ask someone for permission and booking so it is fair.

shot list.

This is our shot list. This clearly but briefly explains how many shots we estimated we would do and then tells you a litte bit about it. We then investigated this further by drawing out these shots (above) and labelling then. This shot list didn't take very long as we were prepared and knew roughly what we want our music video to look like.

shot list.

This is similar to our shot list except it shows us how many shots we do in a certain place. For example, two different scenes are done in Natalies house. It also tells us and everyone else what time of the day would be best to do these shots in. So this is more of a scene list. Again this makes our job a lot easier as we can see and plan out our times.

risk assesment.

This is our risk assessment and analyses who is responsible for each part of our video. This is so we know who is in charge for certain things that can possibly go wrong. I contributed what i was responsible for as did everyone else. We thought that made sense as then we were still sharing the work, and working out what we had to do.

This is the moodboard we have produced especially for our music video, Our idea appeals to our target audience as it is full of drama and performances and also has a brief exposure of drink and violence.

personal reflection on my contribution to the meeting

To prepare for the meeting, i rehearsed the topics i was set to talk about to make sure i knew exactly what to say. I made sure i bought in the locations, stroyboard, budget sheet, target audience research and anyhting else i needed to be able to show our clients as evidence.

During the meeting i had the role of the director so, i spoke about all the creative parts of the video for example the story board and the locations and i also had to talk about the camera angles/effects/cuts as Natalie was unfortunatley away. Hannah had the role of producer so talked about the budget,treatment and the improvements.

We both made sure we bounced off of eachother when communicating but didn't 'mess around' or chat. We mainly did our own bits and then let the other talk.

There was a problem with the budget, as we went over by about £15 but let the clients decide whether we cut back a day of editing or whether they wanted to pay out the extra money. They thought that if it would benefit the video then they were willing to pay out the money.
