Group Discussion 4/12/13

I am posting some group discussions from previous dates as I have not yet put these on the blog. In today's lesson Me, Kiah and Rianna looked at a choice of different songs to have in the background of our behind the scenes video. We came to an agreement of using Azealia Banks - 212, we chose this song as it is a new song that a lot of our target audience might listen to. It is also very upbeat so anyone who hasn't heard it before will already know what sort of music it is and that it suits our behind the scenes video well.

Planning - Script and Synopsis

We were told at the beginning of filming that using speech in our opening sequence would make things trickier as you would have to make sure the speaking was correctly positioned with the visuals, therefore we decided to only use one line for one of the characters, and nothing for the other character. Throughout the day we decided it would be easier if we didn't have any speaking and it also looked better without speaking. Here is a picture of our script and synopsis:

Planning - Shooting Schedule

In order for our day to go smoothly, and make sure that we didn't run out of time or get confused we put together a shooting schedule. On the actual filming day we managed to stick to this schedule throughout, apart from some bits where we had to change bits around to make it easier for ourselves and to help make sure we didn't waste any time in the day. Here are the copies of our original shooting schedule:

Planning - Risk Assessment

Before we filmed our opening sequences we had to look out for anything that could go wrong, and therefore if we knew what could go wrong, we could stop it.

This is a list of the risks that we may have faced:

1. Burning our hands whilst using the lights as they may get hot quickly.

2. Making sure that we didn't drop the camera as it is worth a lot of money.

3. Being careful not to trip over any of the wires.

4. Not to eat or drink near any of the equipment.
