Production Log

In this week of Media studies, the class started on a range of different tasks for the music video that we are going to produce very soon. We started the week off by having the first lesson on Monday and in that lesson we were set a task to fulfill and that task was to get a group partner that you would like to work with to make the music video together, for this aspect I chose my classmate Anil and this was because he's a very trustworthy person and his song was similar to mine as they are both called 'Changes' and both about relationships. We ended up choosing his song because it was more slowly paced and we felt that we could get a message across with a slower paced song.

Above is a link to the video that me and Anil made talking about why we chose his song, why we chose to work together, if there was any similarities between our songs and if we thought we'd find any difficulties working together.
In the next lesson with Mr Clarke we were provided with many sheets that we were required to complete in the next week, the sheets that we were provided were a Call Sheet, a Production schedule sheet, a risk assessment sheet and a waiver for cast sheet. Thee sheets are required to be completed as they are all associated with the music video.
In the last two lessons of the week we had Mr Philipson and in those two lessons we were required to do two different tasks. In the first lesson we fully planned out our music video and this means we established the full idea as to what was going to occur in each verse and chorus including the intro and outro. Then in the last lesson of the week with Mr Philipson we started to fill in a shot sheet in Microsoft Excel, in this document we had to start filling in what's going to happen in every single shot of the video, as we made a start we have not yet finished it as we have a few lessons dedicated to this task.

Above is a picture of the video plan that I took from my phone. It is a sheet that is based on what is going to occur in the intro, all the verses and choruses and the outro. As you can see the sheet is only half way complete and this is because our song only has two verses and two choruses hence only the verse one, chorus 1, verse 2, chorus and intro being completed.
As the production schedule is not yet completed I can still say that it all fit in as we got the work that was due in that week completed.
As the week went on, we did not come in contact with any problems that would effect our work as the week went smooth and efficiently.
The following week will consist of us completing the shot sheet with our group partners and we will will also complete all of the other sheets that we are required to complete.
