Shoot day plan

Shooting Schedule

In order to be extra prepared, we decided to create a schedule of our shoot day. Having two locations is another reason to plan our time, as travel time also comes into our shoot day and wastes time out of the short time we have already.

Feedback

This is soundwork nwith good use of presentations to illustrate and evaluate your work - there are evident clear accounts of your planning and research for your music video production day after half term.  I like the way in which decision making is evident along with reflection and revisions -partyicularly for teh animatic.  There are two posts that are incompete with your blog - can you complete please.

 Your cast list has been agreed and you need to be working on the set design and organisation of production. You need to recognise work that other's have completed in your group and identify what you have done - do this with individual evaluation.    Please make sure that you share resources but not evaluation work - which should be an individual effort.  Well done.

Lighting Idea's.



For our set we had to consider what we wanted for our lighting. Here is a powerpoint of all the lighting we want to include to add to our set and also create the atmosphere.

Animatic storyboard - proof of editing.



As a group we edited our storyboard to create the animatic. The process involved uploading the footage and then finding each shot, putting it in order and putting the music in time with the shots. The video above is a short clip of the editing in process. It shows step by step what we did in order to create our animatic.

The video above is our storyboard edited to fit our song. Storyboarding was quite a long process because we had to make sure each shot fitted in time with the music and also be sure that the shots were not to long or to short. The drawing of the storyboarding also took time because each drawing had to be clear and represent exactly what we wanted in each shot. Once we had finished the storyboarding process we then filmed them. The media department supplied us with camera's. With this camera we filmed each individual shot for 10 seconds each. When we had finished we took the footage up to the media editing suite and loaded it all onto 'Final Cut Pro'.  The editing process then began. This consisted of placing the music and the individual shots onto the time line. The final result is shown above.  The whole process needed alot of teamwork. Overall i feel we worked really well as a group. We balanced the work load well and assigned individual tasks to different people. By assigning individual tasks to other group members it meant our work all got done at a quicker pace and also to a better quality. I found the editing of the storyboards really hard and tricky to get to grips with, but sitting there and watching how 'Final Cut pro' works helped me to learn the basics ready for editing our actual music video.
