Planning First Shoot

Shoot Plan 1


On my first shoot I am going to capture shot numbers 0-40. This is the first third of my music video and will be hopefully completed all in one day. The filming session will last for 50 minutes due to strict schedules of commitment between myself and the talent I have featured in the music video. My actress is a dancer with a strict schedule herself, a very committed person who has little time for other things never the less she was perfect for my role and working around the obstacles would make it the best thing for my video and make it successful. My actor on the other hand is very open, he has a packed timetable for each day however is available to make time. 

My first shoot I have planned to do is on the 29th of November, a Friday. This is the day that Olivia who I have chosen to be my actress has free and myself and Jamie are also available. I wanted to check the weather for the day even though I would be shooting inside for this one. That way if I wanted to add anything or use the Christmas markets outside or the train station I would be able to do that with it being dry. The only thing that would stop me filming in Starbucks the place that I had planned would be the fact that we couldn't get/use any of the seating that I planned. This would effect my video because of the cut, tilt and pan transition I have placed after the establishing shot of my actress sat in the seating area.

In order to complete the filming and find out how long I have to do the filming I needed to check my train times. Living over 25 minutes away in a car to the other people in my video and an hour away from my college it is hard to all travel to one place. Knowing I have to be back for six o clock I would have to be on the 5.14 train. The bus below shows that we would have to get the 15:51 train from college into the city center, after arriving we would have around 50 minutes to film.
With none of us having a car it is hard to get the travelling right never the less this is better than not being able to travel at all.

If all goes to plan and the travelling is correct then Friday the 29th will be my filming day. We will have around 30 seconds of footage filmed and the beginning completed with an introduction.
The location I first planned at Starbucks will be used as well as the second shoot within my college and I shall plan both of the shoots through plans. 

I am also going to do a photoshoot of stills whilst in each location so that I am prepared for the digi-pak and elements of the music industry etc that is within the brief.
