Risk Assesement, Call Sheet

London Shoot

 

Our call sheet and risk assessment have allowed us to foresee any limiting factors within the location of our planned shoot. Identifying these risks have allowed us to plan how we are to shoot within the location, overcoming any challenges we may face in advance. Additionally the call sheet has allowed us to produce a brief list of shots which we want to produce in our production, and how they work in correlation with our animatic stage of the planning process. Subsequently this will allow us to gather a understanding about whether or not we have gathered enough footage to fill up the designated time for our music video production, and will ensure that we have not missed out any shots we were planning to include within our production.

Group. Shooting Re-Scheduled

Shooting Re-Scheduled 

After paying constant attention to the weather forecast over the past week or so we have decided on changing the day which we shoot in London from Wednesday to Thursday due to the bad weather predictions. Furthermore on the Thursday although starting off dark the weather is meant to be dry and overcast, something which we all believe will be better for our footage as to conform to the dance genre relies upon this summer image, something that we could amend with editing skills over dry footage, opposed to wet and rainy footage. 

Plan of shooting; 

• 30th October 2014 (London) Narrative Based Footage
• 31st October 2014 (Otford) Powdered Paint Fight 

Group. Planning for Shooting

We are planning for our main shoots to take place over the half term. This way if we shoot early, then any lack of shots, or mistakes that have been made can be corrected with plenty of time to still get our filming edited.
Ordering powder paint for the charity aspect of the narrative is our first priority, as the intentions are for the event to take place on the 31st October, therefore we need order the product in advance so it will come on time. 
Two days before the powder paint event we intend to film our London narrative aspect on Wednesday 29th October in London.

H.C. Progress on 21/10/2014

Over the lesson period and homework time today I have; 

• Completed creating and gathering images for my part of the storyboard, which I will then put into a timeline to go into our group animatic, as a visual plan of how our final video will look. 
• Carried out further research into sourcing powdered paint and researching the properties of it.
• The cheapest supply of powdered paint I found was through a wholesale supplier that delivers to the school, however this option is hazardous and would not be safe to use for the action that we have planned. This leaves us with two options - 1. Buy in a substantial supply (This will mean having to budget a significant amount of donation money towards the paint cause) or 2. make our own, as suggested in the previous post with a lower cost but long time required for the material to dry. I will discuss these options with my group tomorrow and we will come to a conclusion about which route we want to pursue. 

H.C. Individual post on progress lesson 20/10/2014

In yesterday's lesson, after discussing our plan going forward we divided up the tasks to complete over the next week. In the lesson yesterday I progressed by;

• Beginning my third of the storyboard, collecting stills to go into the paint fight sequence and the fight itself.
• At home I researched the prices of powdered paint and found that we would in fact need quite a significant budget to be able to get sufficient paint for a large group of people. The alternative method I found was to make our own, using cornstarch and food dye. I will discuss our options with my group members tomorrow, but I have estimated that it will cost us around £30 to make 20 kg, compared to around double that figure if we were to buy it in.

T.M. Contribution to Pitch

Costume:
My first task was to put the slides together regarding what clothing the characters are going to wear in our music video. As well as what we intend to avoid, for example the negative connotations held with youths wearing full tracksuits.

Props:
Next was to research a few of the props we intend on using. The props included simple everyday objects that youth culture would use such as phones, speakers, footballs, etc.. Then I researched the more conceptual prop for our charity aspect of the narrative including powder paint.

Camera Work:
Our camera work techniques that we wish to implement in our production are conventional to the dance music genre, which was explained within the pitch. However I also discussed the stylistic approach we want to experiment with, such as the fish eye lens, to give a panoramic feel.

Colour Scheme:
Next I discussed the colour scheme we are planning to employ. For example bright and warm vibrant colours that is associated with the dance genre. Furthermore this feel will be achieved through editorial overlays such as the static fuzz seen on 'All I See' - Bondax.

Digital Packs:
Finally I looked into artists of the dance music genre albums and how they compare with one another. I concluded that the majority of them incorporate vibrant colours accompanied by a conceptual imagery. With the artists name in bold writing and the name of the track in smaller. Therefore we have a good idea for what we are going to do for our digital pack due to the inspiration from my research.
