Production Log 1

What have you contributed to this week?

This is our first week of pre-production and throughout this week I have done my pitch, chosen my partner and I've also began the planning of the video with my partner. The pitch overall was quite a success as I felt it was done to a good standard. The feedback I received was challenging however I managed to answer the questions which was really good. I feel the final pitch and feedback was a success.  After we chose our partner we had to do a group rationale which I did with Ellie. We answered a few questions and made sure we had our replies planned from before. Me and my partner Ellie have also spoken about the idea in more depth which has helped me in understanding the concept of the music video idea in a better way. We both equally decided what our music video was going to be about and both our ideas together helped us decide the overall idea.

How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/ overall ideas of the project?

At the moment we haven't started to film so were not sure whether it will fit our production schedule however we have a clear idea and hoping that it goes to plan. We have discussed job roles and we both have a clear understanding on our overall idea. We both know in which part of the verses and chorus we want to shoot which scene.

    

Were there any problems?

As for this week there has not been a problem. We've been given our partners and now we all know that we have to start discussing our idea about what our ideas are. I have discussed with Ellie what our ideas are for the music video and we are both equally happy with the idea and the fact that we both put in effort to think about the idea, helped us both communicate.

                           

How did you/ will you overcome them?

As I have mentioned that we didn't have any problems however if we were to have a problem we would both contact each other and try and find a solution. We are both equally hard working which is an advantage as we don't have to think about the weather the other person is up to date or weather the other person has done their jobs. We are both responsible and also another reason why i am happy that Ellie is my partner is because she is also reliable and I can trust her in helping me and making the overall music video a success.


       


What are the plans for the following week?

For the following week we have planned that we will be working on our shooting script. After our fist experience with shooting scripts I have understood the importance of a shooting script. The shooting script allows us to understand and have a clear understanding about how we want our overall music video, it also allows us to think about what types of camera angle we want to use and in which shoot. With the shooting script Me and Ellie will have to put our ideas down and in detail so that it helps us when we are shooting the scenes for the music video.

Q) Are there any areas of the presentation you would like to give any more detail on?

-> Throughout my presentation I have given detailed explanations however, in terms of practicality and technically there were many more videos which i had uploaded. I had decided not to play these videos as i felt it was going to take to much time and I didn't want to make my presentation go over time. Also another technical problem was that I  unable to give detail on was  at the beginning of my music video pitch i had some technical difficulties so i was unable to clearly explain my song. I feel i gave a clear understanding of detail for my idea and my creativity which the audience had understood. I had also explained every part of the music video theory which i wanted to use in my music video.

Q) What did your audience identify as the strengths of your music video idea?

-> The audience found my creativity as one of the main strengths as they felt it was unique and different to the usual music video ideas. Creativity meaning my ideas for my music video, how it is not the usual love story and how my idea has a twist, which is innovative and new. My audience felt that i had practically thought through my days as my schedule was not fully booked with filming all days instead having three days shooting and then another 4 days neek week, so it was all separated. In terms of technicality i feel my audience did get an idea of what i wanted to portray as they clearly understood it. One of the strengths from my music video theory would be my idea of having my music video being a contradiction, so my lyrics contradict to the music as this was a new idea and you don't usually get to see music videos were the music video contradicts to the lyrics.

Q) What did your audience identify as areas for improvement? 

-> My audience had not identified any problems with my creativity except that it may confuse the audience, however i had explained my idea and once i had explained properly and they understood they didn't find it as a problem. The audience also identified a practical problem which was lip synching. Although i had decided to leave one week for lip synching i left that for the last week so the audience made me realise that i would need to shift it up so that if there was any problems i was able to have more time to do lip syncing. In terms of technicality and music video theory nothing had seemed to be a problem for my audience and they did not feel as though i had to change anything to do with technicality and music video theory.

Q) What changes will you make to your music video concept based on feedback you received? 

-> The only change i will only consider at the moment after seeing my feedback is the practicality on how i would need to change the last week as lip synching to maybe the second or third week. I personally dont see any other changes i would make to my music video concept. I dont see anything else being a problem for me so i don't really need to think of changing any of the following which include, creativity, technicality, and music video theory.
