Re-Film Day One

After the disaster of the first filming session our re-film i am glad to say went alot smoother and we were able to correct and learn from the mistakes we first made. We tackled any lighting issues and we always made sure that the camera was level, we also made sure that the camera was in focus helping to a sharper, more proffesional looking shot. We now need to consider these factors again for our filming helping to recreate the success of this day.

Developments

After completing our first day on filming we uploaded what we had done and as a group we came to the conclusions that we were meeting our expectations. Our main issue was with the quality of the shots we had captured many of them were blurred and on some occasions appeared as though they were on a slant, also we had noticed a few lighting issues where you were unable to make out all of the shot.

We are therefore going to re-film day one in the hope of ironing out these creases, as they take away the professionalism of the piece.

Risk Assesment

When filming our piece it is important that we cover all the hazards that we may come across, below is a list of risks that we have come up with so that to avoid them when filming.

- Fall down the stairs - the actor in our video has to make his way down the stairs, so we need to ensure that he takes his time, taking care over not tripping down the stairs.

- Trip over the bear - the bear, whilst not on camera, will be lying around the house. The production team will therefore need to watch out for the bear incase they trip over it.

- Trip over the tripod - we need to keep the tripod a sensible distance away from the action, so that the people involved can not be harmed in any way by it's long legs.

- Potential fire hazard - as one of our scenes involves the spiritual burning of photographs, we need to make sure that we keep the fire under control, so as not to cause any injuries that are fire-related.

- Paper cuts - as the photos will be printed on normal paper, not photographic paper, we need to make sure that we handle the paper correctly, so we don't run the risk of getting paper cuts.

- Car - as we will need to film a driven car, we need to make sure that no one is in the way of the car when it sets off.

With these we are now more adapted to the risks we may face, therefore with them in mind we should be able to avoid them, helping our filming to run along just lovely.

Shooting Schedule

Below you will see our groups shooting schedule, we have compiled this so that we can organise our filming and work out where, when and how long it will take us to film our music production.

Reactions to the Storyboard

We want to keep in contact with our target audiene throughout the planning stage, therefore we again decided to conduct a survey about how our audience percieved our storyboard ideas so that any issues can be corrected and any improvements can be made, here are a few examples of what was said:

• The use of a flashbacks are a great way of portaying the memories
• Having the bear is a good way to keep the video light hearted making it more fitting to the song
• The images that correspond to the lyrics look great
• It would be interesting to have the bear transform into the women at the end of the song
