Music Video Planning

                                Shooting Schedule

Thursday 25th September 2014 - 2:05/4:05 (Period 5+6)

To be able to gather still shots to show the final location of our music video at Eaton Park and to collect shots of different angles to have a wider idea of how the final scene will look. We would collect stills of the location and analyse them to identify what works well in terms of angles and lighting, it will be a lot easier taking lots of different angles with a large variety scale, it will also show our range of abilities with trying new angles and different techniques. This was a great time to take stills because of the busyness of the park when school finishes at around 3 o'clock, we were able to take more stills with how empty the park was, this then enabled us to show off the aesthetic beauty that the park has to offer.

Length: 1/2 Hours 

Location: Eaton Park
Equipment: (Nikon D3200 DSLR w/ Nikkor 18-55mm and Nikkor 70-210mm lenses)/Tripod

Wednesday 1st October 2014 - 11:20/1:20 (Period 3+4)

To practice shooting the scene where the missing poster is found of the lead male characters girlfriend is found. Stills will also be taken in wide variety of shots so when it comes to the final shooting day we can identify what shots and certain location needs to be filmed. This is the shortest part of the music video were we film around 30 seconds of the footage, the objective of this was to locate a café where the missing poster could be located outside of the shop and for Connor to walk past, noticing it and then it progresses to Winterton Beach. Another objective was to practicing using the city centre for possible shots and stills that we could use, this would mean when it came to shooting the real story then we could pick up more footage in the day, meaning being more efficient with our time.

Thursday 2nd October 2014 - 2:05/4:05 (Period 5+6)

Seeing as no-one was available to shoot me and Josh decided to go over the stills we took at Eaton Park and the footage Josh and Connor shot in the city centre and carefully plan out what worked well and what didn't, with this strong planning we then decided what shots would look best in different scenarios such as the vanishing point, we could use Connor in the shot or just have the pathway and the trees. We pinpointed what we liked and didn't like, so it was easier when it came to the actual shoot so we knew what we wanted without the stress of trying to gather footage at short notice, this would create problems within the group and we find ourselves with lack of communication and arguing due to lack of time we have.

Sunday 12th October 2014 - 12/5

This is the location where we will film the suicide of the character Lucy, the beach setting was first thought of when we first heard the song and it offers the reference of lyrics to visuals. The main objective of the this shoot was to collect final footage and to start to put together the optimum part of the storyline, this would be the main focusing point that structures our music video, we intend to spend a lot of time here to try and get the angles that we wanted alongside alternative angles so that we have a variety of shots so we can easily obtain feedback when in post production.

Another objective of this shoot would be to show the break up of Lucy and Steven, we would hope to show this through close ups and medium shots to portray the emotion and really capture the acting in this upsetting scene. We may have to return to this location to film the sequences when she enters the water and the pedestrian scene, we guessed that having only 4 hours was not enough, by having some of the crew being bale to visit the beach at this time of year last time they all said that the brightness wouldn't be good enough to really connote the natural feel that the ambient lighting has to offer, so on that we wanted to get the shots that were priority such as the close ups and extreme long shots (Establishing Location).

Tuesday 14th October 2014 - 9/11 (Period 1+2)

This is the location that the vanishing point will be shot in, I thought that we could play around with how we shot the intertexual reference to 'The Third Man' by having two different locations to try and have option, I also thought of a editing technique in which we could use to show are potential The scene will show when Steven meets Lucy, we wanted to show distance in the scene so that's why we chose the third man to pick for one of our inspirations.

Thursday 16th October 2014 - 1:20/4 (Period 5+6) 

This session was Steven finds the missing poster, we soon got there and we decided that we would film in the dark because the location offered good lighting and allowed us to use the silhouette that we wanted to add to the music video.
