Film Schedual

As a group we put together a detailed filming schedule and later added to it showing what we have achieved out of our planned time for filming. The varies aspects of the schedule were noted in order to help us work on what we needed to film and plan what equipment we needed and what the chosen people in the video needed to wear. The plan became invaluable, as everyone within the group was able to refer back to it and insure they were doing the right job in order to assist with the video. We took factors such as travel time and weather into account when choosing times to film. This was helpful as it insured we gained the most from our sessions filming. We addressed the following titles in order to insure our schedule was as detailed as possible.Date & Time:

This was possibly one of the most important aspects to consider when devising our plan. The date and time was arranged in order to suit everyone, and we had to allow time for travelling between each location. Locations of filming were arranged in order for us to not waste time, for example we filmed in Camden and then Russell square for convince, as both locations were near each other. We took into consideration the weather also, as we would need to bring appropriate clothing and previsions to make sure the cameras didn't get wet. One of the hardest issues we had to overcome was the problem of lighting, we had to insure that we picked appropriate times to film, as we needed the footage to be right first time.

Content and Action:
This was important for our group as it allowed us to look at our story boards and plan want we wanted to get filmed on a particular day. This was also good as a reference whilst filming as we were more organised and knew what to film and when.

Shot Type and Duration:
The shot type and duration is a vital aspect that was proved very valuable. This column allowed us to keep our schedule organised and made sure we were filming the correct shots per soon. This was used as a kind of check list, as we had to make sure we were keeping to the schedule and any addition filming was added to this column.

Costume, Hair and Make Up:
We had researched thoroughly conventions of an indie artist and we had come up with a distinct style that fitted the conventions of indie and pop. The boyfriend had to convey to the conventions therefore we set about putting together distinct looks per filming location. This was inserted onto our graph as it made our schedule more clear and insured we had different looks per location in order to make our video realistic and diverse.

Locations:

We wanted to use dynamic locations, therefore we chose places such as brick lane and camden that was typical of the indie genre. The apple tree pub was used in order to strengthen the lyric audience bond. We kept our locations organised so we knew what to film and when and this was effective as we didn't have to re film.

Iconography:

The iconography for each shoot was considered and recorded. Iconography such as alcohol, cigarettes all appealed to the rebellious nature of teenagers and the guitar also appeal to the indie music genre. This was recorded as we knew what to bring and when. Preparation was important and by recording what we needed and when we were more organised.
Equipment:
The equipment again just made us more organised and our filming time effective. We ensured we had booked out the equipment from media and that what we wanted to use was available on the days we wanted to film. We all made sure we had the correct equipment such as cameras and tripod. Our schedule was effective as it made us more organised and ultimately our filming more successful. 

Do you follow the schedule while filming, or did you make any changes?

We followed the schedule when filming to an extent although it was more appropriate to film certain scenes at other times as the weather effected our schedule. The dark weather and rain meant we had to perspone certain aspects off our video and film on alternate days. All in all the filming was a success and the schedule assisted us in knowing what we were doing and made us more organised.

We used our story boards effectively as we were able to include elements from our story board and add them into our schedule. This was done simply for organisation and in order to make the most of our time filming. Our schedule was well thought out and based on our original story boards. Because we included so much information we had a good base to start filming and will the help of both story board and schedule were both organised and our filming was successful.
