Music Video Planning: Timing list 30/11/11

This is our timing list for Wednesday 30th November:

11.30      All meet by my car in Sport's Hall car park
12:00      Arrive in Cambridge, Park.
12:15      Arrive at location and set up
12:20      Get Ben to sing the Song completely through for a few different shots
12:45      Get Ben to sing specialised sections of the song to fit certain sections
1:00        Experiment with panning shots with use of the dolly
1:20        Finish, pack away and go for lunch

Music Video Planning: Weather check for Wednesday 30/11

Hopefully the weather is correct for tomorrow as it is very dull today and would not work for our filming. However if we do experience bad weather we will use editing to enhance the light on these scenes to give the impression of a nice day.

Music Video Planning: Added Locations

Our Cambridge location shot has had to be taken off of Google Maps due to lack of time and fundings to travel up to Cambridge to take the location shot ourselves.
Luckily we know Cambridge very well and I believe we have got our perfect location as it would not be too busy but we will still have people walking behind Ben as he is singing.

We chose this location due to the market being straight behind us and Lion Yard exit to the left of us so we will have plenty of people milling around.
To avoid getting in anyones' way however, we will be using the side street to the left of the photo so we do not block any passages.

Music Video Planning: shot list for 26th November

Music Video Planning: Teacher's strike

Due to a teacher's strike on Wednesday 30th November, we have been given the opportunity to film earlier in Cambridge this day.
This means that it may be less busy however due to the season there will still be people around Christmas shopping therefore it would not be empty.

Music Video Planning: Changes to the shoot on Saturday

Due to serious illness of one of our actors for our narrative, we will be unable to film him on Saturday.
We have booked another shoot on Saturday 10th December to replace this.

This means there will be edits to our timings list:

Music Video Planning: Characters for our first narrative section

For our first narrative sequence filming we have decided to use Gemma Thomspson (my partner) and Harry Bullot.

We decided to use Gemma because of the knowledge she already has of the shots and the image needed for our video. As well as knowing that we will be professional on set with the close narrative scenes even though her and Harry are not a couple.

We decided to use Harry Bullot because he is a good friend of mine which I could trust. This is important because if I was unable to trust and reliable on me, we would not be sure if he would turn up to film or cooperate with us for each shots.

Harry also has past professional experience of being on a music video shoot as he starred in Ed Sheeran's video as a choir boy. This helps us because he has experience of direction and cooperation to make the video work.

This is a screen shot of Harry's part in the video below.

Music Video Planning: Preparing for Saturday 26th

I prepared a shot list complete with each frame we needed to take to avoid needing to flick through our storyboard each time and maybe making errors from this.

Music Video Planning: Added Locations

Our train station scene will be filmed from Elsenham Station.

We have chosen this station because there will be low security so we will not run into any problems whilst filming.
