Costume for Clevedon Cast

This is the costume for the stereotypical 'happy family' who are going to take the main protagonist in.

Firstly, The mother will be shown as a happy, classy women who will take the child in.

Secondly, The father will be shown wearing a suit showing he has a good profession and is earning a lot of money.  

The two daughter will be wearing dresses and dressed similar this is because it portrays a happy family because children are dressed smart.

Lastly, The main protagonist will be wearing a stripy red top as this is quite plain and normal showing his normal upbringing. He will then get given a scarf from the family showing that he old family didn't dress him correctly.

Costume from Birmingham Cast

This is the costume for Jim Hickey who is playing the Grandad. As you can see it is very stereotypical and representative for this age of people.









This is the costume which I want my Abusive father played by Dom Hickey to wear. I have chose this because it portrays Lower Class and is associated with violence.













For the abusive mother costume I wanted to portray her as a chavvy women who think she is above everyone therefore chose this outfit.







For the grandmother, It will be similar to the grandad as they are 'married.' It will also be representative.

This is the weather forecast for Saturday the 21st January 2017. This is the day that I am planning on filming my shots which are shot in Birmingham. This is a wide variety of shots from 1-30. It features most of actors in my video. Therefore the weather for this is ideal for the vibe and genre which I wanted to portray. As you can see the ideal times to film would be from 10AM to 3PM. I think this will be perfect for my filming and therefore I have chosen to film on these days.

This is the weather forecast for one of the days which I want to film. This is on Sunday the 22nd January 2017. This is the daily forecast for Clevedon. As you can see the optimum point for the day will be 10AM til 3PM therefore I will film during these times. As it is a 1 hr 30 min drive away I will have to make sure that I get all my filming done during these hours because I am reliant on the actors being present and this is the only day they can all do.  I hope that all the filming goes well and I am confident that the weather will be OK and how I pictured my filming to go.

Drafting and Planning

Similar to a storyboard this is my shot list. As you can see from my last blog post I have matched each piece of the storyboard's seconds and transferred them onto these sheets. Not only does it give me a second by second breakdown I have decided which shot I want to use for each particular bit of the project but now I have an idea of location and want I want each character within the scene to be doing. This will be extremely beneficial for both me as I can see what I am doing while shooting but again the actors to give them guidance on what they should be doing.

Drafting and Planning

This is now my completed storyboard. This gives me a vague shot by shot breakdown of what I want each character to be doing within each shot. Each shot shown here is about 5-10 seconds long and I am hoping to including more shots of the day of filming so the narrative is not slow paced and boring. It also gives the actors an idea of how to portray the role. Due to many of the characters being friends and family they have little to no acting experience. This storyboard will allow to see which more their character is in and play them in that particular way.

This is evidence of my emailing my brother. He is going to be playing the abusive father in my music video for 7 Years by Lucas Graham. As you can see he had a very positive reply and along with him I also have my other cast members sorted. I have the 'stereotypical happy family' who said they will be more than happy to help me. Will all my cast now sorted I believe that I can now finalize my shot list and then  arrange a date for my filming taking everything such as weather and costume into account.

Organisation

As you can see from the planning sheet which we I have posted in the past, we set ourselves a target of reaching a certain point within our project which shows us where we need to be by the 15th December. Personally, I believe I am now ready to arrange my final date for my filming and then will start moving onto the editing process. The last thing I need to do before I start the filming is ensure I chose the right days. As the majority of the shooting will be done outdoors I am going to check the weather forecast to ensure that when I shoot I get the correct mood which I want to portray.

This is evidence of me emailing the artist of the song which I am using for my project, Lucas Graham. I have emailed his management to ask for permission to use his song and stated that I will not be public. As I have highlighted it is not for the public to view. 

Organisation

In class we have spoke about what is needed to be completed by a the date we have our first lesson after Christmas which is the 15th January. I helped with certain ideas. These were added to the pre production sheet.  This has been created in a order by date so i can see what to do by certain dates in an organised fashion  and in what order. From this list I have completed a plot/narrative, scripting and coming down to the final details such as props and camera shots and angles. I am going to focus on organisation  more because i have completed a lot research and planning therefore i think it is key to focus on what is going to happen next, i have got inspiration from music videos from you-tube and different A2 videos therefore i think it is important now to looking into camera shot and angles etc to put my moving image together; this although does not mean i will not continue with research and planning because if there is something that i am inspired by or i like i will talk about it.
