SHOOTING SCHEDULE 

Shooting Schedule (+ Prop list) 

(I have altered this post from Alice's POV to mine) 

 Alice concluded a shooting schedule for our group, which lists all the shots our music video needs in the order we film them in. All of the shooting days require the same actors, crew, props, costumes and transport. This is because our music video only involves 2 actors (2 members of our group) and the events within it happen in one day, so the actors are wearing the same costumes for every shooting schedule.

Prop List

• ·      SLR Camera
• ·      Tripod
• ·      Mask

For the final shooting day (Additional):

• ·      Photo Frame
• ·      Photo of the two actors (for the photo frame)
• ·      Glass of water
• ·      Drug (Beroca vitamin sup.)

Despite that our prop list is very short, it means that there is less to remember when it comes to shooting the footage. I like it how our idea for our music video is creative and unique, yet it only displays the use of one prop – the mask – which behold significance in the video.

The last shooting day requires 4 additional props as it is when we are filming the introduction of our music video/narrative. Because the setting of this is based in a house, it is easy to access a photo frame, glass of water and a drug. The picture for the photo frame can be printed off at our school by connecting the mobile to a computer using a USB cable. Therefore, all of our props are essential to create the narrative, yet they are easy to access.

Our group was also planning  to use a GoPro camera to film some hand-held shots, as we thought these would add realism to our music video so the audience can see from the actors’ perspectives.  We experimented with Katy’s tripod but the footage was blurry and lacked good quality. Therefore, we decided not to use a GoPro for our video.

Shooting day 1

Notes (things to remember): Consider the possible reflection of the camera being shown on the door (whilst filming the shot of Cody opening the door), and give plenty of time for filming this scene as time will be wasted waiting for people to walk through the camera shots.

 Shooting day 4 

Location: Katy's house, Poringland

Date : November 9^th

Start/end times: 3.30 – 4.00

Transport: Bus, car lifts and cycling (Cody)

Actors Required: Cody and Katy

Crew required: Ben – Alice is not required for this scene as I know how to use her camera and it will take less than 30 minutes to film. Poringland is a long car journey from where Alice lives.

Equipment needed: SLR Camera, Tripod (as well as the additional props)

Costume, Set dressing:  Our actors are required to wear all black. More consideration needs to be taken with the set than the other shooting days because it is inside a bedroom – therefore, it is important that the bedroom suits the character it belongs to.
