Week 5

This week me and my group have been filming for our music video and we just finished it. It went really well but we had some issues with the car park because we went to the Ilford Exchange car park but we thought that it was a public place, so therefore we didn't need permission but we asked permission just in case and the manager said no so we were not allowed to film in that car park, however we had an alternative and we went to the other car park, next to the cinema in Ilford and we asked for permission and they said yes so everyday when we went to film we needed to ask because each day it was a different person working there but all of them agreed so we finished all our music video, also we stuck to our production schedule and we filmed on those days and we had some issues with the cast because they came a bit late but it wasn't there fault but in the end we resolved it and on the other days they came on time and also we left some days out just in case if we needed to re-shoot any scenes.
How ever since it was the last day of filming we managed our time and we topped up our oyster card therefore, we didn't have any issue and the gaps we left out we doubled check to see if we needed to film anymore scenes. 
The plans for next week is to start to edit our music video and I hope that the footage comes out great along side with the music video

Week 4

During this week me and my group, have been doing a lot of things such as getting our actors to sign our waiver sheet but we had to change our actor because they would have been stressed because they have been contributing in our and contributing in there group so our current actor is , Omar because we said that he will be good and it makes sense because his in our group and there is no mix up between the groups but Omar didn't have to sign the waiver cast sheet because he is our group and I had to finish the production schedule because the first time, I did it wasn't to a good standard and that took some time then my group members were assigned a role and my role was to finish the production role Omar's role was to do the location reccie and Darren did the waiver for the cast then all of us contributed in the call sheet. We are on schedule and this weekend we started filming for our music video and it went well with had no problem and we all managed to get to the area on time and we had some issues with the money for our oytser card but we managed to fix it.Except finding a car park so we can film in and we went to the exchange car park in Ilford and they said no we can't film in but luckily we found a car park were we can film but apart from that it was good and next week as well will be continuing on filming.

Week 3 



This week me Darren, and Omar have finished our shooting script and it took us quite some time but in the end we have finished it our next task was doing our location reccie this means that we had to pick the locations, that we wrote in our script such as the car park the living room and the street but for each one we had back up locations just in case we weren’t allowed to film and me and Omar was in charge of doing that task so we spent 2 minutes figuring out the location and we went with the Ilford Exchange car park because we said that we can access that car park easily but for myself ,I wanted to film in stratford because it was local to me but we went with Ilford because we might not be able to film in the stratford one and it could potentially be busy if we film there maybe some of the cast and crew may not have a lot of money on their oyster card so that could be an issue and we might have to mange time for ourselves to participate in our classmates music video, also I had to fill in a production schedule calendar to let me know when me Darren  and Omar will be filming on and to make sure if we will need to re shoot any scenes and I had to this for another one and it was the editing and I've done that and we left some days out just in case will need to re edit something. We had some problems but we have dealt with it but apart from that we have each have an assigned job role that we will be taking the lead in and next week we will be filming.Below you can see what me and my group have done this week. 

Location reccie

As a group we were told to find suitable locations for our music video. 

We chose the Liberty car park, Romford as as a back-up location if we can not use the Ilford exchange car park and the road. We chose this location also because it is easy for us to get there it is nearby.

We also chose Westfield shopping centre car park in Stratford. We decided upon this because it is very big and spacious and well known.

We have chosen to use the Ilford Exchange car park it's more central and we are going to use the same road for some  of the scenes for the music video and it is  closer for everyone in the group to get to This is a advantage because it is closer to the house location that we are going to film for our music video.

We have chosen to use Darren's  house that is in Goodmayes to film some of our scenes  for example the living room scene and the bedroom scene for some of our music video. The advantage is that this location is closer to the Ilford exchange car park.

We chose to use Omar's house in Bengeo Gardens as a back-up house for the living room and the bedroom if we couldn't film some scenes of our music video at Darren's house the back-up house to film the some of the scenes of the music video for example the bed room and the living room we chose the back-up house because it is closer to the  Ilford Exchange car park it is easier and closer to get to. Plus it is on the way to llford and is in the same location that we was going to use in the video. This would be an advantage because this would be our back up location if we couldn't use Darren's house for the music video.

 

  

Permission to Film

In our music video we don’t need to ask permission because these locations are free to use except

the Car Park but we may need to ask permission for that but if we are not allowed to film there we may film in a balcony depends but apart from that they are public locations so we can film but we will need to double check with the Car Park but if they agree then we will film there but if they don’t this will mean that we will change location and we need to re shoot the Car park scenes but for our other locations we do not need permission for example the streets we will not need permission because it's a public location and for the family property we may need permission if we are allowed to film in there house but if we are not allowed then we will have to change some of the house scenes but it may be likely that we be filming in a house. The picture is the house of Darren and we have asked permission if we can film and we are allowed to film there for our video, and above this is the car park that we will film and we are allowed to film in the Car Park because it's a public location and this will mean that we would not have to change any scenes.

Job Roles and Responsibilty

In our music video we have assigned job roles these are the roles Camera Operator and editor and Director  and Production manager

Director and production Manager

Darren is the Director and the production manager because it's his music video and he knows what to do and his in charge so he tells the Cast what he wants to happen in his music video and his the one that makes the decision also he can change the concept of the music video if he wants so we think Darren will be suitable for this role and we chose him again to be the production manager because I know that he can manage a team together and he will know what days to film and what time to film also his has a lot of responsibility and I know that he will do a great Job

Camera Operator

For the Camera operator my group have nominated me to be the Camera Operator because they know that I will do a great job and I’m not that skilled at Camera work but once I start to film I’ll get in the gist of things and they said that I’m responsible for bringing the equipment which I am and I will get there on time to film

Editor

we have chosen Omar to be the editor because we know that he will do a great job and his good at editing and he will know what effects to use in the scenes and he will know what transitions to use in it as well so we have picked him because we trust him and his dedicated to it as well

Week 2 

This week Me Darren and Omar have been planning our shooting script in order to produce our music video but we still haven't finished it but we are on the verge of finishing it .We have done separate parts for example each of us are doing it on the same document, but we take it in turns to fill in the shooting script. And we had to discuss what was going to go in the script but it took us time to figure out because we were stuck on how to start it and we asked Mr Philipson and Mrs Lowndes and when they saw our script they said it was good but we just needed to figure out the length but once we got the first one done we started to get in the flow of things and the script itself is good and we also colour co-ordinate it, so when we come to film we will know what part to film but we had some issue with the time because we had to listen to the song and we had to count how many second so we can roughly put it on the script. We have overcome this because we started to understand it and the script makes sense and the location makes sense because at each part of the chorus it will go to the car park scene, and also we have linked some ideas in the song. Another thing is that when we start to film we will try to manage the time for the cast  to film and one of use will take care of the equipment so when we start to film we will take it in turns to take care of the music video.  Next week will be doing our pre-production.
