Shooting Schedule

This is a screen shot of the shooting schedule I produced in order to keep a track on when I needed to film which would help me to meet the deadline to hand in my rough cut.

I created it on word because I felt it was the easiest way to produce a graph displaying the date, time and location.

The props I needed for each shooting session were :

Camera and Tripod

15/11/10 - Bedroom Location - Props needed : Dressing Table High heel shoes Make-up Wardrobe Dress to wear Dress to use as a prop Mirror Set of drawers Ipod and docking station

Props and Locations List

After analyzing music videos and producing my animatic I have constructed a list of all the props I shall need in order to begin filming my video.

I have chosen to have a scene within the video filmed in a bedroom. I have chosen to use a bedroom in my own house as this will be really convenient for me. When looking at music videos from The Saturdays I have found that they have used props continuously throughout especially during 'I Just Cant Get Enough'!!!!

The images below show The Saturdays using props within their video. I believe that this gives the video a real 'feel good' feeling and it makes much more interesting to watch as a viewer!

As I would like my video to attract females I aim to use a lot of props associated with females.

Props

I shall aim to use:

A dressing table

Mirrors

Bags

Shoes

Make-up

Wardrobe

Ipod and docking station (opening title displayed)

Magazine covers

Diary

Jewellery Box

These are the props which I planned to use at the current moment. However, I am sure once I start filming more ideas will come into my head. All of these props will be available to me easily as they are objects that I own myself meaning that I will have to spend no money on the props I need to be equipped for filming.

I want to give the video a realistic feel therefore I aim to have many of the scenes set within my own home. This again is a huge benefit for me as it means I can film whenever I want. If I have the opportunity and chance I have planned to shoot some of my shots within the Studio. This will be more difficult as I will have to book the studio out at specific times therefore I shall see what I can arrange.

Within my home I would like to use the locations of:

A bedroom

The hallway

The landing and the stairs

The Kitchen

Using a variation and range of locations to carry out my filming in will enable my video to have more variation and in my opinion, make it more interesting! I believe that when videos are set within the same location all the way throughout it starts to become boring after a while. Also the different rooms within the house will make my video seem more realistic!!

Animatic

When planning the shots to include within my music video I produced an animatic. I drew the images and uploaded them into I Movie.

This is a screen grab taken from I Movie showing my images inserted in order, with the green bar being the music.

Once I had arranged the images in order I then inserted the song I was going to use. The next thing I had to do was to insert the timings onto each clip. The timings would show how long the specific shot will last.

I used the box above in order to insert the timings for each image into the duration box.

Having the song playing in the background will help me to know when each shot appears during the video when I begin to peice it together on Final Cut.

I used I Movie to produce my animatic as it is quick and easy to upload the images and insert the timings. With it taking little time to produce the animatic, it meant I had more time to start concetrating on filming and editing.
