Production Log - Week 6

WHAT WE HAVE DONE THIS WEEK AND HOW I AM APART OF IT:

This week we had to film every other shot not including the basement shots, since we still hadn’t found the time to film due to yet again – unforeseen circumstances. Also, the police station still hadn’t replied to any emails and we began to think that they were purposely ignoring us. Therefore we had to find a different location to film and after asking around the school we finally found the caretaker and asked him to use the basement – of which he said yes. It’s perfect for the location we needed and we even got some test shots done.

HOW DOES THIS FIT IN WITH THE PRODUCTION SCHEDULE?

Technically, we were supposed to film this week and so that’s what we did – it therefore worked well since we had already cleared the space and therefore got all the shots that we needed to in our video. It’s just that some of the other shots didn’t fit in with the schedule as most of them had to be the basement shots which once again – we weren’t able to do.

WERE THERE ANY PROBLEMS?

Yes – the police station weren’t answering any of our emails or our calls and it would be fine if they had obviously said no, but they didn’t give us any answer whatsoever, therefore we had no leads or not even a solid idea on where else to film. Even though we’ve found somewhere that we can now film, we still haven’t heard from them which is quite upsetting since an answer would still be appreciated.

HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THEM?

We simply had to go and find somewhere else which we thought would be impossible, however we carried on trying and we eventually found the school basement which was beyond ideal for where we wanted to film. This was a bit irritating since if we knew this beforehand we would have been able to get that filming done before the half term. But now we know for next time to check locally before branching out into Hackney just for a fire and an asbestos issue to occur and therefore ruin our whole plans.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK?

We need to make sure the filming is totally done and therefore need to get a rough edit of our full music video.
