This week, we finished all of the pre-production paper work, including the emails we sent for permission to film in places, such as the mental home in Barley Lane and London Bridge. This then allowed us to start our filming. On the Thursday lesson, we started filming in the media lesson with our main actress, Damanjyot, after our teacher had checked to see all our paper work was up to a good standard to allow us to start shooting. We filmed in the park and got a few shots that we quite liked.
How does this fit with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas for the project?
Pre-production work helps us to film our music video, and knowing we'll be able to shoot in particular locations to suit our story-line for the video as we have received permission to do so. Also, pre-production work allows us to know what risks can come with shooting a music video in locations and how we can overcome them.
Were there any problems?
We hardly came into contact regarding problems, apart from the issue with permission. The person whom has control over the emails about the Barley Lane mental health home had given us a reply in which we replied back, and then they got back to us asking for a way to contact us via an actual phone call, so we asked our teacher if he could use his contact details to get back to Kerry, who manages the emails. Our teacher was happy to give his number to the manager which resolved what could have been a slight problem.
How did you/will you overcome them?
The issue wasn't a massive problem to deal with as our teacher kindly dealt with the situation of giving out his phone number to Kerry. At the moment there are no other problems we can encounter and we're hoping that we will be given a positive permission to film at the location that we had chosen.
What are the plans for the following week?
The following week is our February half term holiday, which will consist of a lot of filming to be completed. Having a weeks holiday is a bonus as we are not restricted with time as we can film when we want and also, we are not time limited. Myself and Farhana have discussed with our crew, Damanjyot and Bilal, and they are both free throughout the week which means we won't have to remain worried or concerned as they are available. Our aim is to finish a majority of the filming before we come back to school which is on the 25th of February, and to leave the green screen for when we come back to school.
