Job Roles and Responsibilities

As there are three of us we have decied to split the roles, some of them will be shared between us.  The resposnsibilities i am in charge of are:

• Making sure we dont go over budget
• Telling the actors what they will be doing
• keeping everyone on check for the schedule

I have chosen to do these because i believe i am able to find what we need at the lowest costs and i am able to instruct people with what they are meant to be doing and if they dont understand i have the patients to explain in a calm mannor and i will listen to the actors needs aswell.  Lastly i have chosen to keep everyone on check by making sure we stick to the shooting schedule i  will be able to make sure everyone is doing hwat they are mean to and that no one falls behinde and i am a good motivator.

Production log 7

What have you contributed this week?
Week 7 is the deadline, we had to make sure everything had been edited and looked good where it was, we also had to make it cut to the beat and look professional. 

How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas of the project (refer to already posted work)
This worked well with the production schedule as we finished everything we had hoped we would by the end of it including the video cutting to the beat, close ups and a clear story line.  We had to make some of the shots shorter as the song ran on a bit and it also meant it looked better as it fitted nicely.  

Where there any problems? How did you/will you overcome them?
Whilst refilming it was trying to find out when our actors were free as some of them also needed to do their own work and it meant having to work round them and still making sure we got our work done but apart from that everything was fine.  

What are your plans for the following week?
As the deadline was this week it means we have finished filming and editing but i will look back over the work i have done and make sure it is done correctly and everything is there.  

Production log 6

What have you contributed this week?
This week we had a mock deadline which we had people give us feedback on our video saying what we could add, tack away and refilm, most of the things said to be refilmed were what we had planned and the feedback we got was helpful as we knew what our audience thought of it so that we could make it appeal to more people.

How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas of the project (refer to already posted work)
This was useful as we could see if people agreed on what we wanted to refilm and also if they could understand the story line.  The close ups were a major thing to add as we reply on the close ups to get across the emotions of the actors so the audience can feel apart or even relate in a believable way.

Where there any problems? How did you/will you overcome them?
The only problem that we had was trying to find a house to film the party in.  We knew we couldn't mess around and that every moment spent looking for a house was less filming time but we managed to find a house which was close and meant that people didn't have to travel far to get there.  

What are your plans for the following week?
The plan for next week is to refilm the rest of what needs to be filmed and to edit what we have filmed.  

Production log 5

What have you contributed this week?
During week 5 i helped edit the start of the video and put my suggestions forward for what may needed to be refilmed.  I also had a small part in someone else's Media work as the friend of the main girl.

How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas of the project (refer to already posted work)

This fits in well the the production schedule as we now have less to edit and so far we know roughly what we have to refilm and how we can improve it rather than just wasting time by filming it the same way we did before.

Where there any problems? How did you/will you overcome them?
The only problems we faced this week was making sure the shots looked ok where they were and whether something needed to be refilmed then agreeing on it.

What are your plans for the following week?
Next week we plan on refilming the bits that need refilming and to continue to edit what we have so when we have the new footage it looks ok and makes sense in the video.

Production log 4

What have you contributed this week?
In the fourth week we managed to complete filming and start editing, this meant we had to import all of the footage we had filmed and put it into Final Cut Pro.  

How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas of the project (refer to already posted work)
We were on track with our production schedule as we could now start to edit our work and and find out what needed to be refilmed as it didnt work or it wasnt long enough etc.   We quickly discovered that we needed to add more close ups to portray the emotions that are mentioned in the song and buy our actors.

Where there any problems? How did you/will you overcome them?
The only problems we faced was whilst editing, although we had enough shots we didnt have long enough clips of each or enough close ups which meant we had to do our best to make it look ok then refilm when we go the chance. 

What are your plans for the following week?
The plan for next week is to continue editing to make sure that what we have at the moment cuts to the beat and looks to be at the highest standard. 

Production log 3

What have you contributed this week?

In week three i have helped with filming and filling out some paperwork to do with locations and some extra people that we have added to our filming.  

How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas of the project? (refer to the already posted work)

During week three we began to film our music video we decided to film the boys when the main boy is sad and the girls with the main girl being happy.  as we had decided to film as much as possible in that week we also filmed the date with the boyfriend and his new girlfriend.  

Were there any problems? How did you/will you overcome them?

The problems we faced weren't difficult to overcome, some people turned up late for filming but it was fine as it didn't affect the filming as badly as it could have and it was trying to stay focused when having to stand outside whilst filming with members of the public getting in the way.  

What are your plans for next week?

The plan for next week is to continue filming what is left on the script so that when we go to edit we will have all the shots we need.  

Production log 2

What have you contributed this week?
This week I had to make sure that all the waiver for cast were filled in by the people who are taking part in the video.  I also started my part of the shooting script. 

How does this fit in with the production schedule/ job roles/ overall ideas of the project? ( refer to already posted work)
I started my part of the shooting script this week and i was in charge of the ending of the script, as we split it into three parts we were all allocated a section.  I choose the ending because i thought that was the part i had a clear vision of what i wanted it to look like and i knew how to get the song's meaning across.  

Were there any problems? How did you/will you overcome them?
We had a couple a problems but we managed to resolve them quickly.  Not all the paper work was done at the same time which meant some people had some of the work but others didn't have anyone but their own work on blogger.  It didn't take long to sort out we just had to make sure we emailed each other to give everyone the work and then put it on blogger.  When we were writing our scripts we had to make sure that we stopped in the right place and that it made sense when changing from the first shooting script to the second and the second to the third.  

What are your plans for the following week?
My plan for the following week is to finish filling out the call sheet so we know when we are filming and to start filming as we would have completed the call sheet which shows us when we are filming and where.

Permission to film

Westfield was the only place we had to ask for persmission to film however we werent given permission and had to find somewhere else to film.  We didnt have to ask anywhere else for permissions to film which meant there was no complications.
