Early in the project I decided that I would be filming in the photography studio at college. I chose to film here because I wanted to do a silhouetted or low light music video. I also thought that I could somehow use the coloured lights above the photography studio for some sections of the video, …
Shot list
Yesterday I managed to finally complete the Shot List. I have been delaying finishing this document because I had to make sure I have all the necessary paperwork and details about my music video to picture how I would make a shot list for it. It was somewhat difficult to fill in because I'm not …
Prop list
Today I decided to make a Prop list. I made it around the same time I was finish off my shot list, so that will be the next blog post I upload. Normally I wouldn't make a prop list because my other videos didn't really feature any specific props, however his video does. I decided …
Production schedule
Today I completed the Production schedule after booking time in the studio with the store room. I managed to find two people willing to help me out - my step sister Daisy and my partner, Ioan. Daisy has helped me many times before so I'm glad she was available on the days scheduled. This …
Lighting plan
I decided to create a lighting plan since I've booked the studio at college. I made a plan so that when it comes to Tuesday next week, I know how and where I want to set up the equipment, as well as where to place the actors in the frame. Lighting plans are useful because …
Booking the college studio
In my last few blog posts I mentioned that I was planning on booking the photography studio at college to film. Judith advised me to go as soon as possible considering that Level 2's and Year 1's may need to use the studio around the same time as me. If I didn't need to use …
Finding actors
I’ve always struggled to find people willing to be in my videos because I’m very introverted, so it’s a challenge for me to ask friends to help me out. In the past I have asked my brother and step-sister to help me out in most of my projects and luckily, they agreed to do them. …
Storyboard and Mood board
Today I started and finished both a mood board and storyboard. A storyboard is used to help visualise how you want your film to look like. They can be hand-drawn or use different digital images to tell the story. Personally, I prefer to find images on Google or any other free image source to use on …
Video treatment
Today I completed a Video treatment. This document is just a basic outline of what the video is about, what type of characters there are and what happens in the video itself. I enjoy making video treatments because it allows me to section out what will happen during the video. First of all, I described …
Health and Safety
I finally came around to completing the Health and safety document. It took longer to get finished than I want to admit, but that just comes down to me getting distracted by other documents to fill out and talk about. The health and safety document basically explains who is responsible for what job as part …
