Weekly production log 4-
What have you contributed to this week? In this week we finished the risk assessments, we had to make sure this was as detailed as possible, reason being, is that we don’t know what the weather is going to be like on that day, and being in Britain I could change at any time.
How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas for the project? Without doing risk assessments, we will not be prepared on what to face when we film in places such as central London; there were many things such as travel we have to be prepared for the worst, and if we do come across any issues, now we planned them, we know what to do.
Where there any problems? When you film you experience all sorts of problems, so we had to tackle a few tricky situations, such as safety, and this was one of the key elements of doing this, because being in a big place like central London, we would have to think of alternatives. And not being very familiar with parts of London where we are going to film, and having equipment like a tripod and a digital camera, it is not hard for us to be mugged, so we had to think of ways in which we can protect the equipment as well as ourselves. What are the plans for the following week?
In the following week we want to finish off the rest of the paper work and begin filming, the extra paper works, involves location Reccies, where me and my partner will create a presentation on Microsoft PowerPoint, in this presentation we will say each location and analyse them, where we will say why we chose them, and how they work well without music video.

Weekly production log 9
What have you contributed to this week?
In this week we were set to complete an individual task, the
task was then split into two. The first being
a research log, this is where we went through different websites, and
tried to find out what the meanings of each law means, and then evaluate the website,
stating whether it was valuable or pretty much useless of not. The second half was
to write up on, the Codes or practice & regulation, what this was, is the information
we found from the research logs, we had to write up what each individual law
means, for example the 9pm watershed where only, certain films/shows can be
shown after 9pm because they have graphical contents within them.
How does this fit in with the production schedule/job
roles/overall ideas for the project?
This fits in, because it makes us look back a our own music
videos, and evaluate them ourselves to see if they would be allowed to be shown
before 9pm, or if the cant due to contents that evaluates this idea.
Where there any problems?
There wasn’t many issues with this, however, with some
websites, I found very unnecessary due to them either being too complex, and
going into things that were not even related to what I was trying to find out,
or they were too narrowly detailed, where what I was researching, could have
been given to me, without even searching it up.
What are the plans for the following week?
This has been the last week where I work on this task, and
should move onto a new unit next week.

Weekly production log 8
What have you contributed to this week?
This week me and my partner TJ managed to complete our music video to best possible extent, we also managed to start on the paper work, this included research logs, where we find out things about the copyright law and note down what we learnt and how useful the source was, sort of like a bibliography.
How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas for the project? With the deadline extension, it doesn’t really affect anything and we managed to finish the music video on time, and start the evaluation process of the music video.
Where there any problems? There were no issues this week and everything ran smoothly. What are the plans for the following week? For the following week we plan to carry on our paper work and get everything completed.

Weekly production log 7
What have you contributed to this week?
In this week we had a deadline for our music video, although it wasn’t a deadline for the final music video, but we needed to have something that looked good and ran by what we were aiming to create. We meet the deadline, and from strict criticism we were happy with our performance. With one or two things that could have been done better we are happy with what we done.
How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas for the project? With some other groups within our class, they are slightly behind, and may find it hard to meet the deadline, and with an extension we can focus on the filming that needed to be corrected and spend more time on the editing, this doesn’t really effect the production schedule, it just means that our final date can be extended until mid-week next week.
Where there any problems? As I said before from the criticism that we received, we only faced one issue which was the filming, and luckily it was within the area so we didn’t have to face any difficulties so we managed, to film and fix that issue. What are the plans for the following week? For the following week me just want to fix up on the small errors, and give the music video a final polish with the editing to make sure everything was fine and looked good from the human eye, we have planned to meet the deadline before the actual day, and with TJ having the editing software we can do this after editing time and get things done to the best extent and as fast as possible.

What have you contributed to this week? In this week me and my partner managed to get ahead of task, and film all of Taylor’s shots, and complete all of the park shots, Taylor’s shots were something we had planned to do in the following week, but with her group having a couple of setbacks, she had a free day, so we used our quick thinking and initiative and arranged for her to come and do those shots. So with us getting this done, we had more time to do things that would help us improve our actual music video.
How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas for the project? So with the new schedule, me and my partner have now moved 3 days ahead of schedule, thanks to Taylor, we now have more time to do more efficient things, like work on editing and to see if our camera angles could be improved. Where there any problems?
With the weather being very kind to, this also caused us some lighting issues, but as the day progressed the sun came back out and gave us the lighting that was needed, and we got the work done, but this also allowed us to have time to film the house shots, where lighting could be adjusted by ourselves, we managed to get these shots done with no problems.
What are the plans for the following week? For the following week myself and my partner should start editing, and with TJ, my partner having Final Cut on his iMac at home we are able to edit whenever we need to, but with the current filming we already have and should edit it, to double check on any mistakes or missing shots, but we plan to finish editing by next Friday and have all the editing done to schedule.

What have you contributed to this week? In this week, me and my partner managed to finish all of our paper work, and have got the most hardest shots completed, our paper work was a major part of the planning side of our music video, planning things like location Reccies and job roles, was something that needed to be done in full detail, because when we filmed, and for example using London as an example, if we didn’t plan anything in advance we would of end up going back for a second time, and sticking to the budget, we knew that traveling cost us most of our expenditure We also managed to get our cast and crew done in full detail, because of our actress, Taylor, is also producing a music video and we have understand that she has to prioritise her music video as well, so we arranged dates with her where we can complete all of our filming. So after doing all of this we managed to get a date where us and Taylor will be able to film, and on the Friday we went to the south bank and got the establishing shots for the opening sequence for the music video.
How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas for the project? All the things, such as the paper work we completed this week, play a huge part in the planning of the music video, hence the reason why we had to get it done in full detail. So when we filmed on the south bank we knew exactly what we had to do, and with it being a tourist attraction we had to make sure there were no complications with people.
Where there any problems? We only faced one problem, and this was mainly based on people, and like I said the south bank being full of loads of people, which was expected, we had to get our filming done on time, and very fast, for example when we had to do a shopping spree shot on bond street, we had to wait 10 minutes for the path to be free so we could film.
What are the plans for the following week? The following weeks plans are pretty much simple, the London shots we got this week, will be uploaded and edited to see if we need to go back and see if any improvements are needed, but as far as me and my partner have planned, we aim to get the local area and park shots completed within the start of the week and upload and edit them by the end of the week.
