Things to consider on the shoot

What could go wrong on the shoot?

I have to organized when filming as the following things could go wrong:
- not having permission to film in a location such as shopping centre
-Forgetting equipment
-leaving equipment behind on the shoot
-Not knowing what I have to do on the shoot
-Coming back to school with out any footage ( as this will waste other peoples time as they could have recorded)
-Actors being unreliable
-Absence from school, therefore missing editing
-time wasting on the shoot, which could mean everything will take too long
-weather
-Not leaving enough time for transport problems

I will also have to have excellent communication skills as the following could go wrong:
- Things could go wrong if I don't explain myself properly
-Not speaking out and saying how you feel
-Losing patients with other people
-other members to answering phones , or responding to group requests
-Arguements in groups
-Last minute changes to plan with out consulting my actor and actress
-Actors getting bored/ hungry/ annoyed/ cold
-Not recording

There could be Technical problems:
- camera battery not charged
-No knowledge on how to use equipment
-poor lighting
-poor sound
-shaky camera
-poor framing
- I have got to make sure I have a limited variety of shot distances,angles, movement
-poor consideration of continuity

Editing Styles

influences to me

The above music video is a students A-level music video which I found on Youtube. I like the way the student has used freeze framing and I would like to try this technique.











I like the idea of the rushing, and running in doors and rooms. I may do something similar to this in my music video too.

Blood Hound Gang-Bad Touch Preliminary Task

Introduction
For our preliminary task for A2, we had to copy a music video , this was to help us pick up skills in premier pro such as editing and cutting, and to also get use to the camera itself. As a class, we chose to copy the music video "The Bad Touch" by The Blood Hound Gang as it looked like we would have a good time producing it ,as after all some of us will be dressed as monkeys.

Filming
However, this did not go quite to plan. When we first started recording, many of us were very hyper and this showed in the outcome of the first part of the video. Many of us in the video (including me) were smiling and avoiding laughter , this sort of ruined some shots and it took longer in a way because the blood hound gang kept very serious faces in the monkey outfits which made this more hilarious.I think there would have been a better result if we had planned the music video more, and maybe practiced instead of going strait into the recording as then most of us would be over the giggles once we have gone over shots, but we didn't have much time to rehearse but the acting was good considering we had not that much time.

At first I found the camera quite hard to use , but we all took turns to film which really helped my knowledge to use the camera. I also thought this was great teamwork.

Main Concerns
My main concern this year was loosing my work, as this happened last year during my As level and I lost most of my work. On this task, I saved after everyProxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0

lip I edited to prevent this happening again and I will for my work in the future.

Editing
I could describe Editing in two words. TIME CONSUMING. However once the editing was complete , I enjoyed the sigh of relief.

Ideas for my music video

I love the idea of freeze framing a shot like the hp advert.

Hp Advert

I would like to experiment with this amazing technique and include it in my music video.

I like the idea of using animals in my music video as am a Strong Animal lover especially for cats.
