Group: Film planning

We have prepared for our film, and have organised everything ready for the trip we will undertake on Monday the 28th of October.

• We Have agreed to drive down to Brighton on the day, bringing with us all the equipment that is necessary to bring, which will also allow us to use the car for any tracking shots we wish to use on the day, without the hassle of setting up and bringing a track with us.
• We have booked out all the equipment necessary for the day, picking it up on the day before half-term, and will be returning it all the following day. we need to however get the call sheet, and risk assessment filled in before we go to make sure we are all aware of the problems and issue that may arise or be faced with.
• I am also going to bring my own camera to take some photographs of the location, and of the cast. We will then have some pictures to use for our print ideas on location, and see how well they would link in with our video, and start thinking of some ideas we could go with when we create it.
• The people involved are all ready and prepared for the date we have agreed. The people who will be going are George (Actor/Camera-man), myself (Camera-man) and Rochelle (Actress).
• We plan to spend the whole day in Brighton, filming for the majority of it, trying to get as many clips as possible as to be sure that we are not short when it comes to editing it all together. The locations we will visit primarily are the lanes, where all the shops are, which will be useful to be able to use the crows as part of our filming, and use them as extras. We will also visit the beach front, where we will be able to use the location to add to the mise-en-scene when filing the performance aspect of the video.
• We hope to include a wide variety of shots in the video, but focusing mainly on close ups and movement shots, to make the video conventional of a music video. We also do not want a lot of similar shots, so we want to include such shots as 360 pans, low/high angles, canted angles etc.
• There are a variety of problems which may come into effect on the day, predominantly one being the weather. If the weather is bad on the day, it may lead  to the whole video looking boring, and would involve a lot of work in post-production to make it look good, which would involve a lot of colour correction, and colour grading. Another may be the reliability of the crew, we have all agreed on the day, but if someone becomes ill on the day, we cannot carry on with the shoot.
