Week 1
This week I met with my team and we decided that
we would be from Chase radio and planned to create a promotional video that
advertises a local talent show. We discussed this so that we knew what
production we were planning. This impacted my production as we had a rough plan
of what we wanted our project to be.
Also this week I wrote up a proposal so that
everyone has a clear idea of what me and my group plan on creating. This was
good because it explains what I plan to put into the video, why I plan to put
it in the video and how this would fit to my target audience but I believe that
I need to include more detail of exactly what my video will show and why I have
chosen each specific element within my video.
This impacted on my production as it meant that I had a plan of what I
wanted the video to show and why.
Week 2
This week I wrote my letter for permission to
use locations. In this letter, I wrote to Mr Bryant asking for permission to
use the Main Hall and the Chroma Key Room. This was effective as I explained
why it would benefit Mr Bryant to let us use the facilities, it was polite and
gave all the relevant information. Next time I will include more benefits for
Kingsmead if they allow us to use their facilities. This impacted on production
as it ensured that my company have requested to use a specific location that
will benefit our production greatly as it ensures that we can use different
backgrounds and have a large open space to record different clips.
I also carried out a location recce where I went
to each location and evaluated how well they would fit our purpose. This was
effective as I was able to view a range of different locations and highlight
their key good and bad points so that I can make a well-informed decision on
which location would be best. This was successful as I clearly gave advantages
for each location, I also gave disadvantages for each location and described
what each location offers. This benefitted my production as it ensured that I
chose the location that was best for my production.
Finally, this week I completed the risk
assessment which was effective as I gave a list of 13 risks, I explained how to
avoid each risk and then what to do if any of the risks happened. Next time I
would explain each risk in more detail. This benefited my production as it
ensures that the production is as safe as possible and no one will get hurt.
Also, if anyone does get hurt then the injured person gets the help they need
quickly.
Week 3
This week my team and I have moved on to the script writing and
character building section of our production. The character building section
ensures that we build a strong knowledge base of what each character is like
with specific details so that we can effectively create a video that fits the director’s
vision. It incorporates the smaller details about each character including
about the character such as their habits, relationships and distinguishing
features. It ensures that you can feel as though you know the character
personally before actually meeting them. The script break down sheet is a way
of breaking down what you want from each scene of your video to the smallest
details such as costumes and special effects and props. This is effective as it
is a way of bringing ideas together so that the script can be written with
precise detail. I personally completed the script breakdown sheet for each
individual scene so that I could them write out each script with precise detail
so that each scene fit the directors vision perfectly. The script breakdown
sheet was effective as I included a multitude of details about sections such
as, cast, costume details, extras / atmosphere, special effects, props, special
equipment, makeup / hair, sound effects / music and production notes. However
next time I will include more specific details regarding each section. Overall
I feel that my work this week was a successful contribution to my project.
Week 4
This week I wrote out the final finished copy of
my script for our production. The script is an important element to the
production of our promotional video because it brings all the ideas for the
promotional video together so that the producer and cinematographer can
effectively design each scene and bring it to life. My script was effective as
it included precise detail about each character’s outfit and actions they carry
out in each scene. Also, my script gave specific details about what sound clips
needed to be played and when they needed to be played. Next time I will include
more details about lighting.
Week 5
This week I typed up the weekly minuets from
each meeting that I had with my team regarding project progression and file
completion. My minuets were successful as they effectively outline what takes
place each week for the project and who completes each document.
Also this week I completed a document that shows
file sharing between the group. This was important as it ensures that all of
the pre production documents are stored in one easily accessible place. My file
sharing document is effective as is shows me sharing the files each week which
ensures that I am staying up to date with work and justifies why I shared each
document.
Week 6
This week I have downloaded the needed sound
clips for my production and used screen shots to show that they are copyright
free. The sound clips were important for production and had to be copyright
free so that the production abides by copyright laws I also justified why I
chose the specific sound clips and how they will fit into the video.
