Group: Animatic

This is the animatic we have created using the frames from our storyboard.



This was a useful exercise in order for us to understand the number of shots we will need, as well as the cutting rate.

Group: Schedule Update

Unfortunately, we have had to cancel the Sunday shoot as Rozzy has sprained her ankle. We will instead be shooting the short sequences we intended to film on Sunday as part of our montage shoot in the days leading up to our main shoot on Friday.

Group: Risk Assesment 04/11

  • Roads could be dangerous, so we need to make sure we look before we walk in case of cars and traffic.
  • Don't drop equipment on the floor, make sure we have a firm grip and are holding it in the correct manner and walk slowly.
  • Make sure all wires are out of pathways so we don't trip over them.
  • Keep food and drinks away from equipment so we don't damage it - risk of spillage.

Group: Concept Development

  • We emailed the technician asking for equipment for our shoot for 9th November. We sent the following email to him:
Please may we have the following equipment for the 9th November:
Track and dolly
Stedicam frame
Boom mic and clapper
Oscar award
Red carpet
Thank you
Group 4 - Heather and Rozzy
  • Rozzy is going to be working on the animatic so it is eaier for us to edit our video once we have the shots done, we will just slot each clip into the right time frame.
  • I am highlighting key words on the blog and responding to comments on the posts.

Mise-en-scene:
  • Electra's green dress
  • Electra’s dress for ‘meat’ shots
  • Formal costumes for extras (which they will provide for themselves)
  • Props: award, envelope, stand/microphone, camera, posters, magazine

Issues:
  • We will have to have to have sourced/made all of the props and costumes we willl be needing before the shoot, including the award, the posters, etc.
  • We need to recruit extras well in advance of our main shoot, so we can ensure we will have enough to create realistic crowd shots.
  • Whether we will have enough time to film all of the narrative and 'meat' shots during our main shoot. We intend to shoot with extras for the first hour, then continue for up to two hours filming the 'meat' shots, performance shots, and sequence in which she rips the posters down.
  • We will make sure we have all of our animatics, risk assesments and call sheets done well in advance, so that we know exactly what we are doing during the shoots.
