So this week was the second week into our music video project, which is why this week was mainly Alysia and I discussing our work amongst each other and making sure we have finished the work that was yet to be completed. Week two included Alysia and I getting the location owners to sign an aggreement stating that me and Alysia could use their property to film our music video. So we have both agreed that our main location would be Thames Barrier Park, Thames Barrier Cafe and my house. So what I done because I live close to the chosen locations I went down to the various locations and took some test shots, testing out were certain scences could be shot and just making sure that it would be easy to film our video without getting people in it. So I went down to the park to do some test shots, I also went to speak to one of the workers in the cafe asking for permission to film in the cafe and they seemed fine with the idea. I also had to make sure I got each location manager to sign the contract that Alysia and I wrote up. This just summed up that we want to film in their location, we had to tell them what it was for and let them know we will not get anyone else into the shots.
So my intended purpose for me going down to Thames Barrier was to get filming permission for the chosen location and also do test shots of what we would like to include into our music video. The main reason we took test shots was to see if the location was good for the video, if it was good, thinking about did it make sense to the storyline. Overall the intended location goes really well with the storyline, especially cause the storyline is about a young relationship and many young teenagers like to hang around in the mark with their friends etc.
The image towards the left shows Thames Barrier park and it shows that it is a typical park that young people would go to and mess about with their friends which is why me and Alysia chose this location, to almost make our story seem typical.
We also planned and wrote up our shooting script for the music video helping us be more organised. The shooting script involves the shot number, the location that the shot would be filmed in, the shot type we would be using, the shot angle and the movement of the camera. We also had to write down what lyrics of the song would tie in with with what shots. Then we had to say who would be in what shot and if there will be any props in the scene.
What have you contributed this week?
This week I checked the form for permission made by Alysia and just made it more formal. I also went to the locations and took the test photo's and got the permission from each location making sure it is alright for me and Alysia to record our music video.
How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles?
This ties in with the production schedule because we need the permission from each location before we go film anything, so that was an important part of our schedule. The shooting script also fits in with the production schedule because if we did not have our shooting script done we would not be able to film because the shooting script shows us everything we need to film.
Were there any problems?
Overall the only problem we received was being able to do the shooting script because we needed to do it together which meant we had to find time when we was both free to do it and the over problem was that we did not do the shooting script to our fullest potential leaving the camera angle and movement to its basic.
How did you overcome them?
We overcame these two problems by always keeping in contact making sure whenever we both had a free period we would sit down and do it together. The other problem we resolved was by doing a draft one of our shooting script which we could show the teacher and get feedback and the main feedback was about the camera movement which then got explained to us so we could understand how we could use different camera movements but still make it look affective.
What are your plans for the following week?
Our main plan for next week is to make sure all of our work is on our blog before the deadline and making sure all of our work is up to good standards. Week 3 would also be the week that we plan when we will be filming, so it going to be all the planning upto the filming process.
