This is our music prelim for the song Duke Dumont

Location Scouting

Location Scouting

Wellhead

Our first location in which we are shooting is the wellhead, we believe this is a good place to shoot because the park is very rural area and suits our music video conventions. We will only be doing a couple of shots in the wellhead, like the shots such as the band members walking out of the park, and the wellhead has the equipment such as the swings which is what we need.

Town Centre

Town centre is also another place where we are going to shoot. Bourne Town centre at night will be perfect for a couple of our shots where one of the band members is walking through the town at night with the street lights.

 

A Field

 

We have a lot of fields to choose from around Bourne, We aren't looking for any special features in the field we are just looking for a plain field. We need a plan field to shoot our band production so we will set up in a field and just perform.

 

 

Tallington Bridge

 

For our extensive time lapse shot, we want to capture several trains going by that is interrupted by traffic once the barriers go up. We ideally need to capture at least 6-10 trains to make the 10 second sequence, even though it will be sped up very fast, to seem long enough to make the viewer feel that it was filmed over a few hours. Time lapses are appropriate for the alternative genre to emphasize upon the vast scale of the genres indie ideology of not necessarily needing to have large budgets so that is why a lot of alternative music videos are filmed near rural or semi-urban train track locations for their time-lapse shots.

Bourne Woods

Bourne Woods will be one of the first locations in which we will be going to, this is where he starts his dream and realises that people are following him, we picked the woods because its not an urban place which has always had an essence of creep, there will be a couple of shots in the woods. The woods doesn't fit the conventions of the music videos which follows our conventions of disjunction.   

 

Pete's House

 

Pete's house will be where he comes back and finds that he has media folders all over the floor, we decided to use Pete's house because it is in a good location and it is easier to film. Also it fits all the conventions that we need e.g. the location of the bathroom to the bedroom. Houses have been in music videos which we have looked at for inspiration.

 

 



 

 



 

Storyboard

Storyboards

Below is the storyboard for our music video that we will use as a guideline or benchmark for our filming ambitions.

We shall follow up on these blueprints and stay true to them as much as possible to show consistency with our filming and to show that we have carefully planned out our music video with care to make it look as alternative as possible.

Whilst we shall still do this, we will also improvise and add additional shots on the filming days due to the fact that once we are on location we shall utilise our media expertise in order to incorporate additional shots that we feel will help us gain additional marks in our production. Overall we shall not let this factor impede our already good storyboard but we shall show field improvisation in order to overall improve our production.
If we do decide to scrap or modify one scene we can then compare it the original draft and then justify why we chose not to do it to emphasize upon our adaptability.

Our overall priority is to make sure that the concepts of our ideas and locations go together to suit the alternative genre and not subvert the conventions of it. This shows how dedication to make the best media product that we can possibly



Cutting To The Beat

Cutting To The Beat

These are shots of cutting to the beat of the lyrics. We have coloured coded it so that we understand when everything cuts and then when we go out filming it is easy to follow.

Significant Findings of Risk Assessment

Location:		Assessment Serial No:
Activity: Production - Filming	Carried out by:  Harry Sandall	Date:  Friday 2nd October 2015	Review Date:

 

Hazards	Who might be harmed	Existing controls (Refer to procedures doumented elsewhere where appropriate)	Controls Adequate Y / N	Additional Controls Required
Transport – accident / lost / approached by starngers	Student	·         Students to record on their audit how they are to get to location. Times and locations needed ·         Parents need to be made aware. ·         Mobile phone numbers shared between group and parents. ·         Production schedule identifies times, means of transport, locations. ·         No students under 18 are to go in the car of another student. ·         With students over 18 both parents need to be aware. Insurance and car worthnessness  need to be guarenteed. ·         If students go with other parents both parents need to be aware.	Yes	Also, in the unlikely event of automobile issues, we will have to ensure that we cross the road in a safe manner and watch for incoming traffic.
Use of equipment (list)		·         Training on equipment use. ·         Security ·         Storage ·         Safety (no guns, daggers, mock drugs, etc) in public – check prop suitability	Yes	In the event that we have a situation that needs to be addressed by the emergency services, we will ALL carry mobile phones in case we need to call for help and we will all charge them to 100% the night before to ensure that they last as long as possible whilst we are out filming. In addition, in the event that we are confronted by people for whatever reason, we will need to extract ourselves from the location and get to safety as soon as possible.
Passerby- nusicance/ concern	Passersby	·         All equipment to be include in production schedule. ·         Any permissions required evidenced. ·         Awareness of outsiders
Location	Students	·         Trespass ·         Any permissions required evidenced. ·         Safety of location – students to consider safety of buildings, ground, ·         Consider risk of falls, slips and trips	Yes	An example of this could be that if one of us had an allergy to something we need to ensure that at least one of us had an epipen on hand in order to addresses the issue effectively without putting the victims health at risk or in extreme cases saving them from dying from an allergic reaction. To stop this happening in the first place, if anybody does have an allergic reaction, they will need to be vigilant with what they touch/go near in order to try to prevent from happening in the first place. Also, for standard injuries, we will need to have a small medical kit on hand in order to attend to wounds such as cuts and bruises.
		Send letter to parents highlighting H&S issues and student responsibilities	Yes

 

Below is a separate risk assessment in relation to a laptop smashing scene that will be filmed in school that could potentially cause injury.

Risk Assessment for Laptop Smashing Scene in Our Music Video

 

Risk	Prevention	Action
Broken Glass/Plastic Shards	Wear safety goggles combined with looking away in order to prevent it entering the eyes.	Head straight to Medical Room and if necessary call emergency services.
Cuts	Throw the laptop far away enough in order to minimise the risk to us.	Apply plasters, etc and go to the MI Room.
Fire caused by sparks from laptop	It will be thrown onto a hard concrete surface that is not flammable.	Extinguish the fire immediately and report it to the caretakers.

Prop List

Prop List For our Music Video

 

Below is a prop list of all the equipment that we shall be utilising on our filming day for the music video. 

 

 

Budget List

Budget List

A budget list shows the main props and costumes that we want to purchase to use in our production. The list shows the name, price and location of the item that we need. It is extremely important that we create a budget list so that we can keep track of the total cost of our production. It will also help us to control our money more carefully as we will know what we need. Plus it will inform the group of how much money each person needs to contribute to the production.

Item	Image	Cost	Item location
Animal Mask		£24.99	Amazon
Folders		£6.99	Sainsbury's
