New Storyboard....

Hi everyone,

After receiving feedback from my First Draft, I decided to include some urban shots in my music video, therefore I am going to film at Salford (Media City). I unfortunately cannot do any physical location scouting, due to the far distance, but from the online research, I came up with a few shots types - shown within my storyboard below. However, most of the filming at Salford will be completely spontaneous, so some of the shots within the storyboard may change during the post-production process.

Here is my new storyboard for my music video for BORNS 'Seeing Stars':

Day 6 Shooting Schedule....

Hi everyone,

From my 'First Draft Audience Feedback', I decided to film in an urban location in order to diversify my locations and shots. As a result, I decided to choose Salford, as it is Media City, therefore, it is a perfect picturesque location to film - perfect for a music video vibe.

However, because of the distance of the location, I can't plan ahead for the shots, i.e. though location scouting, therefore, the shots that I am going to take cannot be scheduled, thus are going to be spontaneous. Even though they are going to be spontaneous, I will take into consideration the possibilities of shots when I arrive, from online research, for example bridge shots, especially at night from the pictures found on the internet.

Catering....

Hi everyone,

When looking at places to shoot I made sure that I was offering sources of catering, whether that would be pre-packed sandwiches or by making sure that there was a form of catering when we got to where we where shooting - this also included toilet facilities. Therefore, I found a catering spot which covered both of these needs for the day of production.

Toilet Facilities:



Catering Facilities:
e.g. Coffee, sandwiches, including warm foods. 


It is important to keep the actor and the crew of the production satisfied and prepared to film all day, as we are exploring the peak district - especially in cold weather situations. This helps to keep positive vibes and enables the filming process to be done at a much higher standard as everyone is happy and refreshed.

Location Scouting for Day 5 Shooting....

Hi everyone,

For day 5 of shooting (my last day of shooting) I will be going to Sutton Scarsdale Hall as it provides good shots for a wide shot including a scenic background which includes Bolsover Castle. Also, surrounding the Hall provides trees with leaves - which is perfect for a more summer atmosphere as the trees in previous locations, like the Peak District and Clumber Park didn't consist of any green leaves. Sutton Scarsdale Hall also provide some unique shots or my CD Package, as the old building can add extra character to the shots.

From this, I will then be going to Lumsdale Valley/Falls in Matlock, which consist the perfect place for unique and spontaneous shots. The waterfalls there will also add another varied shot to my music video, adding to a paradise vibe. The waterfalls there are also at different tiers to it, again providing varied shots.

Location Scouting for Day 4 Shooting....

Hi everyone,

For day 4 of shooting I am planning to pick up on Day 2 shots at Stanfree and re-film some shots there - including the hope of filming next to the postbox as it could be a great place to add in graphics in post-production.

I will also be planning to go to Clumber Park, in order to get a more woodland setting - to vary my shots even further. The Clumber Park shots will also provide a mysterious fantasy vibe, as it is a valley of trees - which can further connote the idea that love is an ever long lasting journey as I am planning for my artist to walk down the centre with a long/wide shot - representing this meaning well.

Location Scouting for Day 3 Shooting....

Hi everyone,

On day 3 of shooting I will be filming at home in front of the white screen. The backdrop to which I am pinning it up to wall have no solid back to it, as I am pinning it up width ways across a room. As a result, this allows me to try different effects on the day, for example: silhouette effect.

In my original plan I think that the white screen provides a break from the rural setting, even though I am aware that the contrasting shots may not work together. However, I am still going to film the footage with the white screen, as it is always good to film more than to film less - allowing for extra pick up shots if need be.
