Research and Planning the Moving Image Work

Task 7: Editing (Rough Cut)

This is a rough cut of the music video. There are still alot of improvements we need to do, such as making the transitions on beat and also making the lip sync in time. We gathered alot of footage, which is sometimes not such a good thing because it gives us too much to work with and makes the editing process sometimes messy.

TASK 6: Shooting

TASK 5: Pre-production: Team Meetings

Today, we organised our shots and improved our storyboards.
We feel more confidently about it all and now we are just organising times and dates for the shootings. We had to make improvements such as making additional storyboards for specific scenes because the scenes we had storyboarded were too broad. Abbey went and made these improvements and we she had done it, it made it more clearer for us.

TASK 5: Pre production-Risk Assessment

For the majority of the locations we have picked, there arent many risks whilst filming which is a great thing to make sure of so when we do film, we can just straight into filming!

TASK 5: Pre production-Team meeting

Today we checklisted everything and have noted down the final things we need to do for the preparatory task. These things are

• Risk Assesments
• Talent Release
• Call sheets
• Profiles of actors

TASK 5: Pre-production: Reeces

All these locations may have the same problem which is the weather. If the weather is windy and raining this could be a problem as the actors hair and make up could mess up. We can avoid this if we chose a day that doesnt have bad weather.

TASK 5: Pre-production: Location Release Form

TASK 5: Pre-production: Production team roles

Production team roles.

Together I and Abbey will be working closely together. We will both be using the camera and setting up the lighting. Abbeys main job is to make sure all actors are at the scene when they are needed.

I am going to do the make up for the actors to make sure there make up doesn’t look bad on camera and is all nicely prepared for the video. Abbey will collect all the clothing that the actors will be wearing and my job is to make sure that it all fits etc.

We are going to take turns on who directs who because we are a small group the directing of the whole video will not be as stressful.

I done the storyboards, copyright clearance. Abbey done the reeces, location release costumes and props. Together we done the rest. So we shared out all of the jobs to do for the pre-production and done what was needed.

TASK 5: Pre-production: StoryBoard+ additional

These are sketches off an outline of the music video. They show what is happening in each scene. It shows when the scenery is going to be shown and when the dancers will be shown. I aim to follow as closely as I can.

For example, In scene 2, there are 4/5 specific beats that I aim to put different shots of scenery in them. I have put this on the storyboard so I don't forget.

TASK 5: Pre-production: Lyrics- Annotated

These papers are the lyrics that are annotated. This really helped us shape our storyboards.

TASK 5: Pre-production: Copyright Clearence

TASK 5: Preparatory Task: Case studies Task (UPDATED2)

Ideas

Today, i worked on the storyboard. This was to give an outline of what our music video will look like. Personally, this exercise really helped me with the whole idea of the music video as you get to explore it in a more deeper way.
