Group Work - Shooting Schedule

​

Group Work - Actor Release Form

This is an Actor Release Form already signed by our protagonist. Developing from last actor release form we  filled in needed information of our project title, record label and more. We obtained the personal details of our actress and needed signature. Within the next week or two we are hoping to get a response from the TFL about the Underground Permission. This is the only release form we still need to obtain in order for us to successfully start filming process. 

Group Work - Shooting Script

This is a shooting  schedule which will significantly help us to improve our filming process. Hand made notes will allow us to express our thoughts and ideas, potential improvements which we can make during filming as well as tips for the actress. 

Group Work - Meeting Minutes / Summery of Tasks

As a group we decided to conclude our group tasks as we are approaching to filming of our music video. We completed various tasks starting from codes and conventions under the umbrella of Dance music genre, in particular House. This allowed us to understand and develop our ideas. As a development of our idea we completed a set of tasks including; synopsis, detailed treatment, location analysis/recce, risk assessment, cast and costume notes, storyboard, script, budget, equipment and props list and many more. Our aim during the next two weeks is to re-insure our planning is completed. Currently we are working on permissions of actor and location release forms, shooting schedule and shooting script and improving our storyboard. We believe these tasks will allow us to create successful product based on codes and conventions of our chosen genre. Our time management is the key to effectively develop our ideas followed by our in-depth research.

Group Work- Treatment Final Draft

This is our final draft of the treatment. After finishing off our storyboard and the script we decided to make some improvement, particularly within the budget, which significantly increased due to greater amount of props. Except from that we have not made any other improvements. The treatment significantly helped us with the construction of our storyboard as well as the script. We found it as a good way to conclude our production information. 

Group Work- Location Release Form

This is a Location Release Form which we created in order to obtain a permission for underground filming. This will be essential as we said before in our research, in order to re ensure safe environment. We are planning to film during off-peak hours in order to avoid large crowds, which might result in various risks. We are planning to ask for the permission shortly this week, which will give us time to plan the shooting schedule and make confident decisions about the dates of filming. This will definitely benefit our time management.

Group Work - Actor Release Form

This is a Actor Release Form template which we are planning to use within our production. This will be sent to our actress as a form of permission. We are planning to sent this document off today, meaning we will shortly get the form back. This will reassure our filming dates, allowing us to start our shooting schedule. 

Group Work - Storyboard Final Draft

This is our final draft of the story board. As a group we came to a conclusion that there are no current improvements we would want to make to our storyboard, due to time, detail and thought we have put into it. We believe this is a strong construction of our storyboard which will allow us to create effective shooting schedule as well as allowing us to capture the necessary scenes. Our improvements might develop during filming time, as a result of unexpected thoughts and ideas obtained through the locations and events. At first we are planning to capture listed shots below, however we are not planning to limit our-selves. This means we will take extra shots which will then help us during editing process. This will allow us to save a lot of time for improvement shots. 

Furthermore, within our storyboard we included detailed notes about the choice of the shots and their effect. These annotations are developed even more within the script. Besides, from that we created a time line, we know when we want our shots to start and when to finish. This will make our editing much easier, allowing us to cut the videos much faster.

Group Work - Budget Improvement

After our meeting minutes we have all concluded that we need to increase our budget for the filming of our production. Our main cost includes travel, train journey to central London where we are going to film parts of our music video. The other cost includes food for each person, maximum for 4 days (estimated number of days filming). Final cost includes a spray can which will be used for graffiti. This will cost us also £3 per paint can. All together we are planning to spent approximately £61.00. This price is more likely to decrease depending on our filming days and time management. 

Group Work - Equipment and Props

This is a list of equipment and props needed for our production. We included visuals to demonstrate needed equipment and other mise-en-scene elements.  We have already gathered most of the objects meaning we don't have to increase our budget. This will be beneficial for us as we're going to use equipment which we already have.

• CAMERA EQUIPMENT  / LAPTOP - The DLR camera Nikon D7100 will be used as our main tool during recording of our music video. To re-ensure successful use of this equipment we are planning to take additional elements such as tripod, camera cables and a charger. With the tripod we will be able to get consistent and fluent shoots without any interruptions such as hand shake. Besides, from that the tripod could be successfully used for still close-up shots which we included within our video. Additional camera cables and extra batteries will re-ensure along with the laptop that our shots are appropriate, giving us more time to film if the battery would die.

• GOPRO SET - The GoPro is another action camera we are planning to implement within our video. The main element of this equipment is the use of laptop along side in order to view recorded shots as the camera does not consist an image viewer.  Besides, from that we are planning to take the GoPro set which includes selfie stick which we are planning to use for high angle shots, head belt for perspective shoots and so on. The use of laptop along side will be really useful to check the recordings in order to reduce our filming time.

• PORTABLE FLASHLIGHT - We are planning to take a portable flash light which we might use in areas such as Ealing Parking where the light source is significantly limited in certain floor levels. This will allow us to greater the light source if needed. 

• SKATEBOARD - We are planning to take the skate board in our first day of filming for the Ealing Parking location. Beforehand, we will re-ensure the skateboard is working correctly to avoid any risks. Besides, from that we will make sure the actress will use the skateboard on flat and accurate surfaces. 

• SPRAY CAN - We will use the spray can on a cardboard in order to avoid any public damage. By this way we will avoid any potential risks. We are planning to use small amount of spray meaning the actress will be safe without a mask. 

• VODKA / TOBACCO - In order to reinforce our negative connotations within the video we are planning to apply a vodka bottle and tobacco pack in order to highlight the careless approach to habits but also props associated with youth partying in particular. The vodka bottle will be filled in with water to gain realism. 

• NECKLACE / COSTUME - The necklace and the costume will be brought by our actress. The necklace is very simple and small without any symbol or recognition while the costume will be following our research choices. We are planning to obtain casual look which would consist of: trainers, casual t-shirt, loose jacket, scarf or hat (due to weather conditions) and jeans. 

Group Work - Film Production Risk Assessment

Group Task- Social Media (Facebook)

In terms of the social media, we have already created a Facebook page for our artist. This was completed in the earlier posts. In addition to this profile, we have decided to follow and like the official profile for the original artist of the song "Beautiful Now" - Zedd. Furthermore, this has included the official Facebook page for our chosen record label - "Fly Eye Records". That will allow us to stay up-to-date with the artist and the record label, what could be very useful for us to refer to during the further process of our music video planning. Discovering the latest news linked to the artist and the record label will allow us to obtain more ideas and extra knowledge in regards of the progressive house genre and its sub-genres.

Group Work - Artist Analysis / Cast Notes

In this section we will present our chosen actress for our Progressive House music video. 

In this section I will provide various facts about the actress herself and why have we chosen her to play the main role in our music video.

Name: Wiktoria Lubera

Age: 17

Characteristics / Why we chose her as our actress: Wiktoria is a teenager who easily takes on new styles and trends. She's interested into current fashion trends which she follows and regularly updates. She leads a 'typical' teenage girl lifestyle. Wiktoria is a fun person to be around and provides positive influence to the people she surrounds. It is in Wiktoria's nature to be "young, wild & free". As a person she is very adventurous and spontaneous therefore we have chosen her to play the roll of our main actress in the video. By choosing her our crew has made sure our filming will go as planned due to Wiktoria being well organised and good to work with as she is a good listener. Wiktoria's clothing style follows the current trends therefore she perfectly fits into the Dance music subculture which will allow our music video to be tailored for the specified genre. On top of this, Wiktoria is very photogenic and had previous experiences as she played a role school video projects. This experience will allow our group to stick to the specified time and produce effective footage in order to create a suitable Progressive House music video.
