Production Schedule

Here are the dates of what the other memeber of my group and I have planned to complete during the production of our music video. The location, equipment and the people required are also included. this will enable us to be more organised, so that we are up-to-date with the production of our music video and so everything goes to plan.
We had to decide the best days for both ourselves (film crew) aswell as the actors due to other issues such as other school subjects or work and any other issue that may prevent the production if this producion schedule was not created.

Practice Music Video

Here I have filmed a practice music video.This enabled me to practice before making my actual coursework music video. Although i did not add many transitions or filters or any extra editing techniques, as this piece is just a practice.
 I also did not use Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 to edit, but instead I used Windows Movie Maker as I had filmed this piece in my own spare time with no intentions of relating it to my actual coursework ideas and also this practice does not involve the other member of my group,
but I felt it would be relevant to include this for an example practice piece.(Please enlarge the video player window for a better view)

Research: Green Screen Practice

The other member of my group and I have decided to use the green screen effect in our music video. Although we did not know how to use the green screen effect in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, we researched a tutorial online which is shwon above. This helped us to learn about the green screen effect in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and were were able to be clearly guided through the process of creating the green screen effect.

Here is an image of the set-up of our green screen.

Due to the creases from transportation, we had to iron the green screen as the creases may affect our green screen effect.

We then decided to do a practice scene with the green screen before we did our final piece so we could familiarise ourselves with the software and understand how to create the effect without any difficulties.

This image below was taken after we ironed the green screen, to enable a better effect.

Below is a print screen of our footage in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5

While learning how to use the green screen effect on Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, we came across a few problems such as areas on the actress' body that appeared opaque revealling the back ground image onto her clothing. But with the help of the tutorial we were able to fix this and this resulted in a very good piece of practice footage!

Below is the final green screen practice footage.

Storyboard Animatic

                   

Here is the Storyboard Animatic. 

This is where the other group member and I drew out some rough sketches of each scenes for our music video idea.
 (Please note that these are only rough ideas so we may or may not follow this all the way through for our final music video)

Locations Permission (Update)

The other group member and I verbally asked the park owners of Forty Hall Park for permission to use the park for a couple hours to film for our Media Studies Coursework. Thankfully they had granted us the permission, so we have successfully been able to film the scenes in the park for our music video!

Location Report

The other group member and I decided on number of places we could possible film some scenes for our music video, base don the type of music video we are doing. We want to make sure we portray the right location for the mood and also reflect the lyrics of the song.
Listed below are the locations we aim to use for our music video.


- Forty Hall Park (Written/ Verbal Permission from council/ park owners needed)
- St Anne's Catholic High School For Girls Hall, various corridors and Drama Room (Permission already granted)
- Family Member's House (Eloise's Sisters House)


Although we also had to bare in mind all complications that may occur while filming in these locations listed. For example, not having permission from the council or park owners therefore not being able to use the location. Also using corridors in the school because people may be walking around and may distract actors or walk into shot and at Eloise's sisters house we have to make sure that her sister grants permission for actors and myself to film in her house.
