Permission For Filming

For our Music video, for shot 82-86 we wanted to film on Bond Street, Louis Vuitton  and we sent them an email regarding us filming outside their shop. here is the email we sent.

 we then got a reply saying that we would have to ask the Stores Manager if we are allowed to film in and around the shop.
What we are thinking is that when we go to the actual shop to film we would be able to ask him, and looking at the Westminster city counsel website, we are allowed to film as long,as we do not publish it for production reasons.

Schedule for Music Video

Job Roles

Job roles Roles •Camera man •Actor/actress •Director/producer Editor For our music video me and my partner are aiming to share most of the responsibilities, for example the director’s job we are going to share, the reason for this is due to the fact we know exactly what we are looking for and we both want the final product to be the best that we can both make it. Our camera man will be Kaval because I have had previous experiences with working with him. He has good experience with cameras and understands what I want the shot to look like and how it will be laid out. Kaval is a very responsible Camera Man and gets the work done when told to which allows us to manage time and get shots done with ease. The camera man’s role is very important as he has to perfect the shot and make the outcome look like a prefect replica of what we put up on the Shooting Script. The Actor will be Thajeethan.As a group they have chosen me because I have had past experiences in acting in front of cameras. I am not camera shy so this allows us to look as natural as possible. With past experience from media I have learned a lot of skills and have most roles of shooting a Music Video and Trailer. These skills I have learnt will allow me to embed it within the Music Video. This allows the Music Video to be more professional and less amateur. The director will be Thajeethan as well because he is very good with creating and planning out how the final product would look like. Also we have chosen him as a Director because he has previous experiences and has directed a movie trailer before. Along with that he will also be the editor because he also has had previous experiences and he does Youtube Videos where he edits as well. So there is an upside to this along with all the other benefits he has.

Production blog : week 3

What have you contributed to this week?   

In this week me and my partner finished our shooting script and began doing, writing up risk assessments and our call sheets, we managed to complete the risk assessments, it was simple as there went many risks at the first couple places we were going to film at. We focused on things such as, the weather and people, we chose this because they seemed like the most important things and this is something we have to keep an eye on all the time.

How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas of the project?

The reason why this fits in, because without doing it, we may come across with certain issues with filming that may cost us money or set us back a long way so it’s important that we get this done to the most detailed level.

Were there any problems?

There were some problems; most of them were simply thinking of things that would affect our filming , such as the weather and people. How we managed to solve them, was to look back at our shooting script and attempt to visualise each shot, and work out the risks in each shot.

What are the plans for the following week?

In the following week, me and my partner have agreed to finish all the important paper work so that we can start filming by this Wednesday, the paper works consists of the final weekly production, where we will say exactly what needs filming on each particular day, and the others is to make sure we have everything secured when we actually film. 

Script for Music Video

Production Log: Week two

What have you contributed to this week?

In this week me and my partner started our shooting script, the aim of creating a shooting script, is to give ourselves a really good hindsight of what we want our music video to be. To make our filming a lot easier, we have involved the smallest detail so that each individual scene comes out perfect from the human eye. As we wanted advice from a more professional point of view, we decided it would be better for our teacher  to give us feedback every twenty or so shots, so that our script made sense and worked correctly. We have a set deadline for the final shooting scrip which is on Wednesday the 5th of February. So far myself and my partner have managed to complete 68 shots that are up to a very high standards.

How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas of the project?

As I said before the importance of a shooting script is very high when producing something like a music video, as it would save us time during production, thinking about shot types, props and dialogue.

Were there any problems?

As the official idea was my partners, I let him take on the more detailed parts of the work, reason being he knew exactly what his music video would look like. However this lead to a problem where my understanding of certain shots was not to good. and this backtracked us slightly, but in our future there would be no problems now that we both are on the same page and understand exactly what we have to get done.

What are the plans for the following week?

Our plans for the following week, is to get our shooting script finished at a very detailed standards, and reach a minimum of a 120 shots.
