RE-FILMING PLAN OF ACTION: Thursday 21st November

THURSDAY 21st NOVEMBER 

We are planning to re-film our entire video on Thursday as the last 'attempt' was very poor resulting in a  much lower than standard final product. This time we are planning the shoot a lot more to ensure we have every shot that we need to fill the video. We have found a location with a mise en scene that is much more appropriate to our genre with blank white walls to give a much more simplistic and minimalistic feel to our video.

Previously, we had very limited shots which had to be re-used countless times which made the video monotonous, boring and repetitive. To overcome this, we our planning to follow the story board a lot more thoroughly which will means we will have a higher variation of shots which will make the entire video more interesting and will mean we will be able to main the audiences attention for longer.

The equipment will remain the same apart from the lighting as we have acquired several stand lights that will be used to make the band stand out and look more vibrant. This lighting combined with the new mise en scene should result in a overall more professional final video. 

Draft Plan

Filming Date: 31/10/13

Filming Expectations: we are expecting to get all of the shots on our storyboard completed for our draft deadline on Friday. We have a total of 79 shots on our storyboard, which we will replicate to our best abilities in such a short amount of time.

Filming Time Schedule: We are expecting to be able to get all of the shots done in around 4 hours. This should give us enough time to complete editing on the Friday. Thankfully Reece and myself have only two lessons on Friday; therefore we can use our study periods and focus on completing the editing.

Filming Locations: Because our filming will take place after school, in the draft we wont be able to include all of the locations we want to use, this is because it will get to dark, thus a Saturday would be a more suited day to film on while we can use the natural light to full potential. One of our band members Dad’s has a small room, which he has all the equipment and props that we need to film in, therefore we will be able to use this room.

Location Problems: The issue we are facing with the room we our using for the draft is quite small and with a camera/tripod set up it would be a struggle fitting in all of the band and a relevant mise en scene. This is something we will have to work around on the date. Furthermore the mise en scene on the room doesn’t real suite the genre of our band, this is because it has heavy-rock genre posters around the room, therefore we will allow ourselves time before filming to clear out some of the posters and other elements of the room that don’t suit our genre and make it more conventional/suited. There is also a possibility that we will use a lot more narrative in the draft in contrast to our final piece due to the location issue.
