Drafting and Planning

The first draft of my piece isn't til 17th February therefore to ensure I reach this deadline I am going to try to start my editing process. I will be using Serif, Movie Plus x6 to edit. I believe this will be ideal for me due to the preliminary task we did at the start of the year using this software and explore techniques such as the 180 degree rule. It will also be the most accessible program to me due to now having a laptop and the software being installed on the school computers. Overall,I think I will be ready for the deadline.

Drafting and Planning

I have now finished filming all the components which I could do for the shoot which is in Clevedon. As you can see from this previous blog there is two separate shoots so next week on Saturday the 14th January I will complete the Birmingham Shoot. For now I will review all the footage in which I have shot and chose the shots in which I want to keep and use for my video. I will them name all these shots and put them in an order which is easy to interpret. This will prepare me and ensure that I am organized and ready for the Editing process. As you can see from the picture shown below I think I have completed all the necessary things needed stated in pre production.

Drafting and Planning

Today is the day in which I am planning on filing the first half of my music video. As you can see from this picture the weather is looking ideal for the mood which I am trying to portray in my music video. The cast I have chosen to film also live in Clevedon. I am hoping that this means that my video can be taken time and effort to ensure that it looks professional. Overall, I think that I now have all the things needed to film.

Drafting and Planning

After discussing the dates I want to film in my previous blog post (http://paddyhickeya2media.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/organisation_22.html ) I have now decided to bring my filming forward to the dates:

• 7th January 2017
• 14th January 2017

This is due to the optimum filming potential being fore filled on this dates. This refers to to a variety of reasons allowing my me to reach my full filming capability's. These are:

• The weather being right allowing my to set the mood for the piece well
• Travel- Allowing me to get a lift to Clevedon without a problem or a time limit
• Cast- The cast can all be present for any extra shots needed.
• Prepared- Due to my high organisational skills I now feel I am ready to begin filming without feeling rushed. 

As you can see the weather is now ideal for the shots and mood in which I want to portray in my video.

Organisation

As my blog post on costumes for the Clevedon cast was posted about a week ago I wanted to ensure that these costumes were appropriate. To do this I texted one of my friends 'Molly' for a second hand opinion. As you can see I want to see if it followed the codes and conventions of  and Indie music video therefore suggested a music video I was heavily inspired by named Emily's Heart by Jamie t. I was very happy with her response therefore I will follow though with the costume ideas in which I came up with.

Organisation

After a large variety of organisation I think I am now ready to begin my filming. I create lots of different lists which allows me to ensure that when the day of shooting comes I am prepared and ready and get all the shots I need. Some lists I have created have been:

• Shot List
• Props List
• Character List
• Character profile
• Storyboards

I think that all these combined will allow me to show my large range of techniques, angles and shots to ensure the moderator can see I have used media skills and techniques well throughout. These are some examples of lists I have created. As you can see they are very detailed and also clearly set out so that I am not concerning about worried about what shots comes next when I start filming.  

Drafting and Planning

This is my Call Sheet. It features all the information needed for both shoots which I will be filming. As you can see I think this will be very helpful because it gives me all the information such as cast needed, location, props, weather, the shots I am filming and how to shoot them. When it comes to going to Clevedon I can look over this sheet to ensure I get all I need it one shoot because I am reliant of other people for my video.
