Lead singer trial (Me)

As we were ready to start filming out project, we received bad news from one of our group members and decided to leave sixth form, the problem  that we faced was he was going to be our lead singer and we had to find a new lead singer as soon as possible because we needed to start filming and we were running out of time. So, we decided that I would do a trial lip synching our song of choice and if we were successful I would take on the lead singer role.

First day of filming

On our first day of filming we decided to film the simple parts of our music video because some of our main characters where busy in lessons. We decided to film clips of cars driving away as we are going to use the clips in our clips. We took a few videos of a variety f cars to decide which clip we were going to use and which was the most suitable for our music video.

Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment Sheet Title: Make you a saint Client: Writer: Producer: Director: Date: 28th November 12

Major Issues: Filming at: We would be filming at Robert clack music studio as our stage for the band Another place we would be filming at is at Michael Matute house for the scene with the argument with the guy and his female.  A further location would be a café. This will be the scene when the guy sees his girl friend with another male. Solutions: There are particular things in which my group and I should take when going out to film. If we were going to film at the side of the road, a solution would be that we should not film on the road. Before using the café and filming, we would need to have permission.  We also need to make sure that the area is safe if it wasn’t we would make sure that we have contact to parents and on site services.

Contingency plan

Contingency Plan Name: Michael Matute, Simon Akinwunmi, Michael Mensah-Afram, Sofiyat Kasim Production:

Potential problems and how to overcome these problems: There are a few problems we could face during the filming process of our music video, and explaining how we can overcome these issues. here are some of the problems we cold face: The room- The room we are planing on using to film is a also used for lessons, so we will be given set times to use this room as it may be needed for other things, so we need to make sure we film in time as the room is used on a schedule process.  We need to film our music video to a high standard however as soon as possible because if one of our team members become ill we may have to begin filming again using a new character for the position they previously had.  If we are filming outside scenes we need to make sure that we can try and get the same scenario each time, so if we film one day and it is sunny, we nee to make sure we film again on a day were it is sunny rather than raining as it may not look like the music video was filmed in the same day.
