Job roles and Responsibilities

Between me and Aisha, we have split the job roles between us. Aisha will be the camera operator and editor as she has a better knowledge of camera technology compared to me. I am the director and production manager as i know what i want the overall music video to look like. This is because we chose to use my idea from our pitch's. We chose mine as it would be an easier choice and more people can relate to it as it has that whole relationship genre to it which the majority of music is about e.g. Taylor swift "Blank Space"  and Hozier "Take me to Church". I will also be directing Riteeka's and Theo's outfit and style for the video as i know what i was it to look like and i want to try and keep it to the whole Indie style which the original artist is in to. We haven't chose anyone to do lighting as we are going to be relying on natural light as it would fit in with it more naturally so it doesn't look staged a lot of the time. For the sound, which is just going to be the song apart from the opening scene, we will have the song on a CD etc so that when we shoot the scenes we can get it in time with the music itself.

Production Schedule

This is our production schedule in which we plan to stick to when it comes to recording and editing. We chose to get all of the recording done during the holidays which is from the 15/02/2015 - 22/02/2015 so by time we come back to school, we can get straight on to editing. Once we have edited all of the footage together in which we recorded, we can go through it and see if there is any footage that we missed. In this case, we have set days in which we can go out and record any extra footage which we didn't pick up yet has to be done by the recording deadline which is the 25/02.2015. I have put in set dates to do the recording which is over the weekend so that it wont clash with any work which has to be done during school times and it would be better ans if we have to go back up to London, it would be light out still where as around 4 pm-5 pm it gets darker so we wouldn't have much light. The editing deadline is 13/03/2015 as we would have plenty of time to go through the video and match it up to the music and timings. We would also have enough time to keep progressing it to make it look better as a whole.

WEEKLY PRODUCTION LOG: Week 3

This week me and Aisha carried on with the shooting script. We colour coded it by location so that we know where each part can be shot and how many shots we may be able to do in the same time period. We had some trouble with the timing of things so we listened to the song over a few times and then it gave us a better idea of how long each shot would be instead of guessing it. This means that we would be able to fit more footage into sections of the song. We also had to try and make some parts a bit longer e.g the intro log just before the song begins, we added a few more shots in there to fit our target number of 100 sections on the shooting script that was set at the beginning of the task. We are slyly behind as we had missed a day due to a trip to the BBC and BBFC. In this time we could have finished the shooting script and gone over it to see if there could be any improvements to it by adding in extra shots or seeing where we could have effects. Although this has set us back, we went over it on Friday and we have a clear image of what we want to do so we can get that down on the shooting script straight away. We also had a rough look at the production schedule which was on my presentation so we got a rough idea of when we will be recording. As we have already got a rough idea, we can set what shots can be recorded on the specific days suited to the people who would be in the video.

WEEKLY PRODUCTION LOG: Week 2

This week we had been asked to complete a clear production script to help us out when it comes to recording our music videos. This would help by showing what specific shots would be taken where, how and with who. It would also show us if there are props included and what part of the song it will be set to. Each cut would need a new input so there would be many spaces. The minimum we could do is 100 in the group so that would be shared between me and Asisha to do 50 each. As Aisha had been absent all week, i had to start off the production script by myself. I was stuck at first because i didnt have a clear understanding of what she wanted to do for the introduction in which there would be an acted scene before the music started. Yet i overcame this and done my own idea which i would explain to her when she comes back and she can give me feedback on it to see whether anything needs changing or not. This would also delay us quite a bit as when Aisha comes back in to school, i would have to explain everything to her so that she knows where to pick up from so she can do her share of the script. Although we have to share the task between us, we should be discussing everything as we go along so we both know the idea of what is happening and if it would link well with the other persons ideas. This would also help so that if were not clear or something, we can get around it by getting a clear explanation of one of our ideas.
