Production Log - Week 2

What I have achieved this week & how I am apart of it:
I have successfully within my group created a detailed shooting script toward the music video. Whilst we were planning ideas we had to write them down on the rough copy however this week we have successfully completed a detailed shooting script complete with description of actions for each lyrics, the settings and the equipment used. This then allowed us to have a clear visual representation on what exactly we wanted to film in the video. I was apart of it by inputting ideas frequently and making sure that all the ideas were relevant.

HOW DOES THIS FIT IN WITH THE PRODUCTION SCHEDULE?
Before, we had a rough outline of what we wanted but if we were to take that plan and start filming straight away we wouldn't be able to get a clear video and things would be too confusing, due to the lack of detail. However now we have a clear specific idea, we can now film quickly and effectively as we know exactly what we want. This can them leave time for re-filing and editing to perfection.

WERE THERE ANY PROBLEMS?
As the proper planning started, we realised how difficult this was going to be. We didn't realise that there was literally going to be a shot for every line, so the rough idea that we had, had to then be condensed so that we didn't spend the first verse of the song with the main bulk of the storyline. So it took a while for us to all think of specific ideas but we did eventually.

HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THEM?
We had to constantly refer to the lyrics, tempo and mood of the song in order to get the true ideas to begin to flow. However this still took a little longer than anticipated. But once the first idea for the first lyric was thrown out there, all of a sudden we all had a lot of ideas to put down and we even found that we had some left over.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK?
Next week we're hoping to properly finalise the professional shooting script, we are hoping to get it done to a standard that is fit for anyone to read and automatically sees what the video we're trying to put across is. By this time next week, we should be prepared to film.
