Production Log week 3

• What have you contributed this week?

This week I have contributed to filming and filling out the call sheets as it would be easier to separate the locations and the specific shots needed. 

• How does this fit in with the production schedule/ job roles/ overall ideas of the project? ( refer to already posted work)

During the week we began filming the music video as we did the scenes where the main girl and her friends were having fun and them out and about, we also did the shots were the main boy has a new girlfriend and when her friends follow her because the main girl is jealous that her friend is going out with her ex. We also filmed the shots that showed the main boy upset about his break up while his friends try and cheer him up.

• Were there any problems? How did you/ will you overcome them?

There were slight problems with timing and trying to keep ourselves focused however we overcame this because the weather was very chilly so it gave us the incentive to keep working and to work hard as we would be able to do the shots inside after.

• What are your plans for the following week?

My plans for the following week is to keep on filming so that we have completed our filming and can move onto editing to see if we missed out any shots and if we may need to re shoot any of the shots if they are not as good as we had previously thought.

Production log week 2

What have you contributed this week?

This week I have contributed to making sure that all the paperwork that we had to fill in before we started to film like the production schedule was done and put onto my blog. I also had to start my part of the shooting script.

How does this fit in with the production schedule/ job roles/ overall ideas of the project? ( refer to already posted work)

This week I started my part of the shooting script as we had divided the script between the three of us, which meant that we either had the beginning middle or the end of the video. My part of the video was the beginning as I had a clear idea in my head of how I wanted that part of the music video and the type of shots and locations they would be.

Were there any problems? How did you/ will you overcome them?

There were slight problems in making sure that we all had the work to put on our blogger as we all needed the work as proof but we overcame this by making sure that we were all able to email one another at a similar time so that the work would be uploaded it round about the same time. We also had a problem when we had to do our shooting scripts as we could not decide who would be best for each part of the script and what the shot would be whether it was close up or a mid shot, we overcame this when we did all the emotional ones with close ups and the other other shots either long or mid shot.

          

What are your plans for the following week?

My plans for the next week are to start filming the music video and to fill in the call sheets to show when and where we will be filming as it will be easier to know which locations we need to use on certain days.

Shooting Script

Permision to film

The places we have chosen for our music video are a park, a house, the bedrooms of the boy and girl and Westfield shooping centre. Most of the locations we have chosen do not need permission for it , the only place in which we needed permission Westfield shopping centre as it is a public place where many people go to shop or eat. Westfield had told us that we would need to let them know where we would be filming and when, we also had to send pictures of where we were planning on filming as they need to know in advance to allow us to film there.

location Reccies

Waiver for cast

Risk assessment

Job roles and Responsibilities

The role that I will be doing during the production of the music video will be the director. The responsibilities that I will be responsible for will be:

• Guiding the actors 
• Hit the targets and deadlines
• Manage the budget 
• Stick to the schedule 
• Keep the team focused and motivated

I will be suitable to guiding the actors as I know exactly how I want them to act and where they should be specifically standing or sitting to make the shot look perfect. I would be good for the role of making sure to hit the targets and make sure to meet the deadlines as I can be very organised and demanding so when my group is in the process of doing the work I will be making sure that they are doing it by texting them constantly to keep them on track. I will also be good at managing the budget as I am very cautious with money and I know how to use the money responsibly, so I will make sure that everything that needs money will be as cheap as possible but also good quality. I will also be good at making sure that we stick to the schedule as it is vital for us to make sure that we hit the filming deadline and the editing deadline to keep us on the right track to finishing the work, to keep the team focused and motivated I would give them incentives for doing the work well.

     

    

Production Schedule

Weekly Production Log

What have you contributed this week?

This week I contributed to the Location reccies and the risk assessment by taking pictures of the locations that I am going to use, I also contributed to making the production schedule for when will be filming so that everyone makes sure that they have that day free and it does not clash with other work priorities. I also delegated the work between the three of us and tried to make sure that everyone had and equal amount of work to do.

            

How does this fit in with the production schedule/ job roles/ overall ideas of the project? ( refer to already posted work)

This week we were given the work and were told to share to between us equally so we were all doing the workload instead of one person getting all the work done. However we did start working on some of the work for example we started to discuss when we would start filming as we have to make sure we are all free on the same days to allow us all to be there to film. We also started to discuss our job roles and started asking people if they would be apart of our music video whether it being extras or key people in the video like the best friends and the boyfriend/singer.

       

Were there any problems? How did you/ will you overcome them?

There are slight problems with the production schedule as we did not know whether our parents had already made plans for the week so we could not be sure when we were going to film, we overcame this by asking our parents and checking our calenders and we found two days we are free during the holiday at the moment but we are hoping that we have maybe another day of filming during the half term as we may want to re shoot a scene we had filmed the previous day.

What are your plans for the following week?

My plans for the following week are to make sure that I do the post for my job responsibilities and make sure that I have sorted out the production schedule so that it is up to date and that everyone has a copy of it so they will not forget that they have to filming on that day. I also plan on finishing my part of the shooting script hopefully before Friday, if not for Friday
