Shooting Schedule




This is an example of our groups shooting schedule. As you can see we have allowed ourselves a couple of weeks in order for us to complete all filming. We specifically allowed this time in case we had to re-shoot or we had forgotten the first time. We will be travelling to our shooting destination so we also must enable some notice. Me, Nathan, and Ryan will all take part in the filming process whether its acting or filming the shot.

Creating a shooting schedule allows us to become organised with our work and allow us to understand what we have to do with a week or more in advance.

Talent Release Forms

The following forms are all talent release forms. The importance of these forms is to ask for permission whether it will be ok to use them within the film. This will include using them as actors whilst filming, extracting there voice, and possibly using pictures of them in post-production. The form also asks for a signature and authorisation of the actor for being able to go to the locations. An example of this can be found on our talent release forms. For instance, it shows what date we will be filming, where and what he may be using them particularly for.

Location Permission Letter


The purpose of setting up this email was to confirm with the teacher that it would be OK to use the dance room facilities. After sending it out us shortly received an email that confirmed us to use the dance studio. We specifically thought of using this for a location as we believe that it fit into our genre by using a black room with effective spotlighting whilst lip syncing.

Assessment - Final Planning check 08th Nov SJA

WWW:

  • Jack, the post on 'technical tutorials' is very good - I am pleased you have responded to some of my earlier feedback
  • List of 'props, costumes & locations' is quite good - could possibly have more development...
  • I really liked your photoshop work on Advert Designs. Really good layout, use of colour and stylised effects. Looks very 'urban' and suits your genre well. I hope you continue down this direction for your digipak cover design.
EBI:
  • You still have al arge  amount of work to do to get this section of your blog complete and up to an 'B' standard Jack. You have the 3 hours in lesson today - and that is it. I do understand that your group had a change of song, but there is NO evidence to suggest that you have spent enough time outside of lessons on developing posts and changing planning to suit your new song. I can see that the last time you posted anything to your blog was Nov 1st. That was a week ago??? So, you are clearly not going home from lessons and investing any time of your own towards achieving in your A Level studies??
  • Lots of posts are missing and your group needs to work together to get these sorted out today:
  • - Song details - missing?
  • - Lyrics Annotation / Image Annotation / Concept - all of these need updating for your new song
  • - Storyboards?
  • - Location shots - these have no written explanation? I have no idea from this post what you intend to do at each location - it is just a collection of images that are meaningless. Why did you choose these locations? How do these locations represent your artist? I can see that these photos are just from Google images - you need to make the effort to scout out your own locations for filming interior and exterior shots - and actually bother to go and take photos of these...
  • - Shooting schedule - missing? (We will not let your group go anywhere to film without these posts complete)
  • - Location permission letters?
  • - Talent release form?
  • - Track permission letter?
Lots of work to do Jack. You achieved an 'A' in media last year - but this was only just an 'A' - not a secure confident 'A'. You clearly did well in the exam last year. The exam in year 13 is a lot tougher Jack. It requires you to comment on issues happening across the world in the news at the moment, and requires a lot of sophisticated thinking and analysis. To be as confident as possible, you must must sure your coursework is going to achieve a really high grade.

You desperately wanted to be with your friends to shoot the music video - but it will only be successful if all of you are prepared to plan thoroughly and think every detail through.

Currently there is so much work missing from your blog, I have to mark it as Improvement Needed
You have 3 hours to complete to a 'B' / 'A' standard today. This is actually possible - your group needs to stop wasting time and develop a far more mature approach to completing work. If you understand this, you can work together to get the work done.

Advert Design Draft


Here is an album advert which I created. I created this album advert through the programme called Photoshop. To enable the way that it looks now I had to use a variety of effects and features that Photoshop has to offer. For example, I firstly imported the photo to Photoshop. I then used previous knowledge to apply a range of effects to the picture to make it look effective and appealing. Moreover, I then had to download a suitable font type from ‘daFont’ which I thought would be suitable and attracting to a variety of audiences. After doing this I then put it all together making sure that it looked professional and appealing. For a few extra pieces I extracted the ministry of sound logo and the blackberry barcode scanner to the album advert. By including little extra’s such as the Blackberry barcode enables you to appeal to a younger audience, as data shows that the majority of Blackberry’s are used by people between the age gaps of (16-20). In addition, the use of the ministry of sound logo makes the band and album advert look much more alluring as customers can then see that it is a professional.
