Production log-Week 5

This week me and my partner have managed to complete all of the planning tasks and we have started filming this week. We gained permission from the Head of Drama (Mr.Taylor) to use the drama hall to film a specific scene for our music video. We would have been filming earlier but due to the permission for the Drama hall, we fell behind as we had difficulty finding the head of drama.
Also this week we realised we also needed the instruments from the music department for the drama scene. So I created another permission slip for the music department asking if we can use their instruments which are an electric x2 electric guitars, a bass, drum set and a microphone with a stand. These are important props we need to represent the band and we will be needing these to make our music video more effective and this will represent our story better.
Another task we completed this week was the Waiver cast. We had these signed by our cast during week 4 but we did not have much time to upload these to our blogs. This issue also caused us to fall behind of our filming time and we will have to film during the half term. We were planning to film during the half term as two of our cast members are free and can film any day.

Filming
This week we managed to film our scenes in the drama hall. We did not manage to film all the scenes in the drama hall as we only had up to an hour in the drama hall and also we were delayed as it took about 15-20 minutes to organize and set up the equipment for the scene. I managed to get a few good shots in the time we had to film but will need to finish the scenes in the drama hall another day. 
Our next filming will be during the half term and we should be able to finish and continue with the other scenes we need to film.

Permission to film

We will need permission for the following locations:


  • Drama Hall
  • Main School Hall
Drama Hall
We will need permission to film in the Drama Hall as it is school property and we will need permission even though we are students. We have got permission from the head of Drama which is Mr.Taylor, the drama hall is used mainly for drama so it would be ideal to get the head of Drama to give us permission to film. We will create a permission letter and get the permission letter signed by the head of drama to confirm that we can film in the drama hall.


Main Hall
For the Main Hall we will also need Permission as this is part of the school and and similar to the drama hall. We may not be filming in the main hall as we may not be filming the particular scene.



For the following locations below we will not need permission as these locations are outside of London and only in certain parks you need permission to film, and we are using a park which does not need permission to film. Also we will be filming in a quiet area within the park so we are not disrupting the public. This also follows for the other locations, that we will not disrupt the public during our filming time.

Park
We will not need permission to film in a public park as this is a public place and we are able to film there. Also this park we are going to film in does not require permission. As I mentioned before we will not disrupt the public and we will be filming in a quiet location of the park, possibly away from the playground area and more into the fields.

House
We will not need permission to use a house as we are going to use a friends who has kindly let us use it for filming. We would need permission if we were going to film in someones house we dont know and this would be awakward for us to film in someones house we do not know, so it is ideal that we film in someones house we know. The only permission we needed was from the owner of the household and we have permission from them so we are clear to film in the house.

Flat
For the flat we will also not need permission to film apart from asking the owner of the flat. This is similar to the house and we wont need them to sign a permission slip as we asking as a favor. The flat is located in Chadwell heath and this is far apart from the house so we will be filming the house and flat on different days.

Music Instruments
We will need permission for the music instruments as this is our biggest prop. Instead of us bringing our own guitars we can use the schools from the music department. We will need the head of music to sign ou permission slip so we can use the instruments. We have got permission from the head of music as they have said we are allowed to use as much as we want, but after school for a selected number of hours. We are going to use the instruments on the same day and time as the drama hall. Here is the permission slip we got signed by the head of music saying we can use their instruments, for how long and what day.

Weekly Blog-Week 4

This week me and my partner were still completing the planning such as permission. We managed to get most of our tasks complete. This week on the weekend we were meant to be filming but due to snow we were unable to and this wiuld ruin the scenes as we need the weather to be consistent. I think this week we have picked up the pace as we were falling behind on some tasks but gradually we picked up the pace and got most of the tasks complete. For the following week we will be filming and hopefully we would have finshed our filming. Overall this week we both got most of the work done and we will be filming our music video shortly.
