Unit15 Promotional Idea: LO3: Production Materials

Behind the scenes

Camera/equipment explanation

The equipment that was used for the music video, was a camera and I tripod. The reason why I used the tripod at times during the vide, was to stabilise the camera at certain heights, as for one of the scenes it required both me and Chris, so the tripod was useful enough to capture a scene with me and Chris. However, next time I would use a different tripod as the one I used was more for taking Photographs.

The camera has a built in mic and movie mode, meaning I could use the camera to capture photos and record. Not only does this save me from carrying a lot of stuff, but it also allowed me to get the recording done faster.

Following Pre-Production Documents

I followed my storyboard as close as I could. The only scene that I changed was the first scene and the last scene, we got to filming and it was too time consuming and complicated so I made it more simple. As I was filming outside, I wanted to follow my risk assessment as much as possible such as making sure there was enough room for equipment, cast and crew such as avoiding narrow paths, as this would have been unsafe for my crew. However, comparing the images to my story board there are some similarities in the way my equipment was set up, as the camera angles were correct along with layout overall. This benefits my music video, as no pre production documents would need changing which would save me time.

Legal Constraints and Risks

The biggest legal constraint I had to consider for my music video was copy right (permission below from client). Now that I have evidence of permission, I can avoid any legal action being brought against me. As stated above, to prevent any risks during filming I followed my risk assessment so that my cast and crew were safe.

Codes and Conventions

In order to make my music video a comedy, I recorded footage of my client rolling around on the floor in some scenes, along with falling over in some scenes too, to carry on adding the comedic effect to my video. The reason why doing these actions are important, is because it needs to link with the lyrics of the video. Next, I will edit in a bus running over my client, as in the raw footage the music video just shows him randomly jumping backwards. By combining all of this together they should all create the comedic atmosphere that I planned on creating for my music video.
