Actors complication

In the past weeks we had problems with fitting our schedules with the actors and getting them out of lessons, later we discovered that the male actors were unreliable so we had to find and contact actors who fit our description for afrobeats.

 However finding the two new males actors was difficult. We needed two guys who were brave to dance, confident in acting and in lip syncing. 

Firstly, they should know the lyrics a week before we film. This has stalled set back our filming. There is one particular part of the music video where we have to get all our actors together in the one shoot that is why we could not film from the any part of the story board. Our deadline is soon approaching to finish filming is 10th November! 

In the half-term we are going to film in Prince Regent Station with the two female dancers Lianne and Lauren as they are ready to be filmed.

Researching and Planning the Moving Image Work

Recce TV Studio

TV Studio

These are the pictures for the tv studio location shoot, this is where the two males will be lip syncing , with this we will also be using 180 degree panning in the chorus and then we will editing it to make it 360 degree. We will use close ups and wide mid shots for this and we will use both the black background and the white background. 

The actors will wear all white for the black background and all black for the white background. So we have more footage for our video.

 Firstly the guys will sing the lyrics while they lip sync everything we will use low angle view and possibly birds eye view.

Long shot of the studio and the lighting set for filming. The two guys will not stand anywhere near the walls instead they will stand in the centre so it will be easier to pan 180 degrees

Risk Assessment for TV Studio

Recce College Location

First Location - College theatre to canteen finalised

We will be using an establishing shot of the canteen without people and then with people this shows that the canteen is crowded with people, we hope that we are able to film here and the college theatre for our first location.

The table where the girls will be after they walk past the guys who are looking at them.

Risk Assessment for College Canteen

E.M.V Production meeting

This is just a quick video to show E.M.V working on the final bits of the pre production before going on to begin our call sheets for tour filming.

We concluded that the theatre is not realistic for a club scene and it will be break our music promo video, our new location will be in the canteen with the same story line and footages. We will ask for permission if we are filming during college hours if it is not during college hours then it would be in the morning.

We have planned to film on 17th october,2014 or 18th october,2014, first we need to speak to the actors and create our call sheet. Also I will check if the weather is good for this weekend for filming in Marsh lane.
