Prototype plan

Today I created a short plan for our prototype filming day.

We are only using three of our set ideas in our prototype video as we feel these sets are the most developed. 

CHAIRS AND LAMP SET

Location? - Learning support rooms - 

Props? - Need to find a lamp - have two chairs 

Lighting? - lamp and ask matt to use some gel

Costumes? - what she is wearing (insert pic)

LADDER GRAFFITI SET 

Location? - Top hurt wood 

Props? - Ladder and spray paint (Ask Al and art department)

Lighting? - ask matt for fluorescent lights 

Costume?- Give Keira some of Matilda's clothes  

CORRIDOR SET

Location? - music studios 

Props? - None 

Costume? - once again mix Keira and Matilda's clothes 

Lighting? - the corridor has LED's built in 

Today's lesson was very productive. Everyone in the group was doing separate tasks and being extremely efficient. Matilda carried on drawing out and describing our other set ideas and Carl was finding the props and lighting in advance for us to use for the prototype shoot.

Prototype music video

We are soon going to start planning a prototype for our music video. This is going to be filmed on an iPhone, however we are going to try to make it as similar as we can to what we envision our real music video to look like. We are creating a prototype to test out our sets, costumes and as a rehearsal for our singer. This is going to help us see if our sets are realistic and not too ambitious, to see if the costumes for our singer relate / match the sets and to rehearse our singer to make sure she knows the lyrics and can perform confidently. The prototype is also going to help us see if we have enough content to cover the duration of the song without having to repeat too much. 

Developing our set ideas

We rounded up our favourite pictures from the picture boards we all created. I am very happy with the pictures we have chosen as they all have a very similar urban / London look. 

We are planning on basing our sets off of these selected pictures. We now need to discuss the details of the props and lighting we want in each of these sets.  

We are thinking of having this as a separate set that we reset to when transitioning between sets. The idea is that some of the windows would show the colour of our sets and we would zoom in until the camera enters the window and we are back in a different set.

Creating picture boards

In today's lesson we searched for any photo's related to London and fashion. We all found around 40-50 pictures each off of google images and put them all together to create picture boards. Below are some examples:

Next lesson we are going to look at each others picture boards and decide which pictures we like the most and which ones we would like create sets from. 

There is a huge variety of styles and colours in these pictures which gives us a lot of options when deciding where we want to go from this. 

Kiera interview - september 29th

Discussing the next step for our music video.

Today we had a group discussion about where we think our video is heading and what we should do next. We decided to each create a picture board of what we envision our video / sets to look like.
