Filming Log

As a group, we have left our filming quite late and mainly focused on research. Our reasons for this is because didn't want to do our filming in dregs, as we'd experience continuity errors and a lack of creativity as we started too early!

As a result, I drew up this 9 week filming plan, that should end about 2 weeks before final hand in. We will be shooting the studio scenes as soon as this blog entry is published so we're determined to stick to it. Unfortunately, there is a school holiday that sets us back a week- but this is a perfect opportunity to catch up on filming logs and any extra research.

*Studio = The 'Studio' scenes, where Kira is on her own on a white backdrop, singing to the camera. We will also use this as an opportunity to take pictures for the ancillary tasks.

*Research= This is time we will use to dedicate to our blogs.

*Geek= The scenes were Kira is being wooed by a bespectacled genius.

*Hunk= _____________________________ hunky gym fanatic.

*Bohemian- _________________________ an artistic gent who is the one taking pictures of her in the studio.

*Rough cut= In this week we will assemble the main rough cut of footage.

*Final tweaks= If a scene isn't working, this week is dedicated to sorting it out.

*Final edit= Editing the final piece.

*Evaluation= Time to tie up any loose ends and work on our evaluations.

Dividing Roles

PARISIENNE RECORDS

THE TEAM

Dora Lynn & Deanna Quirke

As there are two of us in the group- we need to start thinking of dividing up roles and who is exactly going to do what so we can get the most out of our time and lessons. Last year I felt that I wasn't particularly organised and we weren't working as a unit- but hopefully things will change!

We have decided that I am going to be the performer, starring in the video, trying to give a performance that is conventional of the genre across all ancillary tasks and the video itself. As a result- Dora is going to be the cinematographer, taking all the pictures and recording all of the footage as well as editing it. This led to Dora becoming the brains of the operation- dealing in the technical side of production; choosing the right shot types, editing footage and photos, storyboarding and I would be the creative input- leading the group in terms of research, creating the ancillary tasks, performing and also assisting in the larger scale tasks like editing and setting up cameras.

Knowing exactly what we are in charge of from the start allows me and Dora to prioritise our own separate tasks with little confusing- helping us achieve a sense of professionalism and making the most of the time at hand.
