WEEKLY PRODUCTION LOG: Week 4

This week me and Aisha had completed the following tasks which were the waiver for cast, production schedule, location reccies, risk assessments and call sheets together. We done this over a period of 4 days as we had to get people to sign sheets and we had to scan them in. We also had to make sure that the location reccies had images that related to the scenery that we chose to record in of if not get an actual image of the location which would be better as it gives a direct image to what the music video will come to look like. The last things that we had to complete was the reccies and the permission to film as we still needed a few images of the scenery and a concent form from riteeka to show that we were given the permission to film in her house as we have to record some hazardous scenes such as breaking glass, which would have to be re filmed quite a few times ad different angles, and setting a fire which would also be done a few times as we need to re burn the same image over again for different angles also.  I also completed my job roles and responsibilities which had to be done individually. This was because it was to do with my role and how i would be performing it in the group for when it comes to recording. We have planned to film over the holidays as a substitution from this week as we were going to film, but we had to catch up on the paper work. The only problem for next week is that Aisha would be on holiday so i would be filming by myself which i am okay with and she will be back to film on the last sunday with me.

Permission to film

The locations that we are using to film are London South Bank, Riteeka's house and garden, Jarrow Road and Hainault Forest. At london we wouldn't need any permission to film as it is a public area in which recording is open to the public. We know this as there is footage of people skating and directing etc all up the bank and in the skate area. Hainault Forest wouldn't need any permission to film either as it is also a public area open to the public to record. There is natural scenary that is wanted to be shared to the public so they are able to look at in it their own views. Jarrow road is open to all public so there is no need for permission to film. The only locations that will need permission is Riteeka's house and garden as it isn't public property and there are some hazards that will need to be filmed such as breaking glass and setting pictures on fire.This is the permission note that we got off of Riteeka to give us her concent to film these scenes in her house. It states that she is fine with the hazards and is willing to go along with it.

Location Reccies

Our 5 location that we will be using in our music video are Riteeka's house, South bank in London, Jarrow road, the stables, and Hainault forest. 

Riteeka's house is personal property and so we have her permission to use it for filming. The reason we have chosen to film at Riteeka's house is because we need a house to film at in our music video. Riteeka's the actress in the video and her kitchen and garden are suitable places to film in. Breaking glass on tiled floor is more dramatic.

 

The skate park has a lot of graffiti on the walls and it has a more relatable vibe. The music video is set in London and that's what London looks like. Its also a contrast to the forest which represents their relationship. Their personalities contrast which is shown in the song.

The reason we chose the south bank was because it has the kind of look we were going for. Jarrow road could be replaced for any road in London but we chose Jarrow road because it is the most convenient for our filming.

 

Hainault Forest is also the most convenient place for filming. all the places are easy to film in as they don't need permission to film in. this will minimize problems while we are filming.We decided to film at a forest as it is where the character enjoys spending her time.

 

We chose the stables to film in because it goes with the indie theme of the song and its genre. It shows the character personality as she like nature and animals. The use of a shot with the horse at the stables is useful as the male character is remembering her as she was with him. 

 

Shooting Script

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.
