Risk Assessment

Risk assessment from brandonforan

We completed a risk assessment for filming of possible problems we may run into and have documented them in the following powerpoint.

This was important as it showed us the possible risks we may face and how we can navigate our way around them if they were to present themselves.

Task:27 - HSTRY Filming Timeline

This is a timeline of our filming schedule. I completed this filming timeline for my music video. This proved to be highly useful in ensuring that I had enough time to film and edit each part of my music video as it structured when each section needed filming. This meant that we were on track for our music video to be completed on time.
However, I did not factor in how many times I would ask for target audience feedback and therefore need to edit the music video, although I had planned this timeline so that we would finish the music video early, and therefore there were no issues when asking for feedback from the target audience and then going and editing accordingly.

Task: 26 - Features of a magazine advert

• image of artist/from album cover
• artist website
• record company logo
• name of band/artist
• name of album
• date of release
• quote from a magazine about album
• name a few ‘including’ songs
• where to purchase (itunes)
• QR code

Task: 25 - Cutting to the beat

I completed a 'cutting to the beat,' video in which I was able to practice my final cut pro skills in preparation for making my music video. I included clips from a variety of reality TV, films and clips from social media. This will help me when making my music video as I will be able to cut different shots to the beat of the music, making the video flow with the clips I include, with the protagonist mouthing the words at the correct time and on the correct beat.

The practice that I have gained with Final Cut Pro throughout making this video has also enhanced my ability to use the programme and will ensure that when I am creating my music video, I can use the features to the best of my ability and for the benefit of the music video.

Filming production schedule: Day 4

Day 4 of filming was most probably the most hectic as we were very keen to get as much done as possible as we needed to spend the rest of our time editing the videos. Bailey and Lea finished school early and therefore went up to London to do extra filming in and around London Bridge whilst Danielle and I stayed at school editing the clips that we already had. We then all met up in the evening to film some more outside Danielle's house and some more footage in my car.

Filming production schedule: Day 3

Today we filmed some more of the scenes by the school gate to be used for when Danielle is contemplating their relationship. Whilst outside we filmed some bonus clips in and around the school which may prove useful in plugging any gaps that need filling.

Filming production schedule: Day 2

We chose to leave school during a free period and film inside my car driving down the road to show 'Bailes' as having a chauffeur portraying Bailes as being very wealthy and having power over others, typical of the Hip/Hop R&B genre.

Filming production schedule: Day 1

We began our filming at Brent cross where we intended to film the scenes involving the purchase of expensive items from 'Bailes,' to his girlfriend, Danielle which we filmed in Victoria's Secret, with Bailes purchasing lingerie for Danielle to show clearly that they are going out.

Task: 22 - Animatic of Storyboard

My fellow group member, Bailey, took our storyboard and created an animatic of it cutting to the beat so as that we could see how it should look when we came to actually creating it with our footage and actors. This piece of planning was especially useful as it provided us with the exact skills that were required when making the final product and provided us with an idea of how it would eventually look.

Task: 21 - Storyboard and Shot list

Below is our storyboard and shot list that we are following as we create our music video. It is beneficial to complete these pre production tasks as it will make creating our music video a lot easier and more straight forward as everything is already planned out and we have it out in front of us to follow, as opposed to making it up as we go.

The storyboard was created by each member of the group, we assigned ourselves a different section of the song to draw and write the information into the storyboard boxes.

The shot list has each shot with the timings and lyrics so as that when we are filming, we can follow the shot list and ensure we follow our original plan.
