Locations

We choose the schools main hall to stage our party scene as it had coloured lighting in the hall which strongly conventional in parties and in the our researched music video for example in the 'I need air' and 'Ghost n stuff' songs. also because it as a great amount of space to consume a party crowd.

We choose to use this house as one of our locations as it can be seen to look 1960s and 1980s like as we seek to convey a transformation in time. But also this location is convenient as we have to bring heavy equipment from school to the location in school hours, and as the location is not far from school it seems a good location to film footage.

We choose the schools toilets to film footage as it was a convenient location with a good pathway outside the toilets. But we also used a toilet as a location as we felt it was a good place to indicate that their is a change in time as the audience will be focusing on her appearance, and most significantly the change in her appearance as she will be looking at a mirror.

Criticisms of Round 1 of the Party scene

- The camera work is shakey

- The dancers were not dancing together so it did not look crowded

- We did not get a variety of camera shots

- We did not get the dancers under control

- People changed the music whilst we were filming

Party Scene Round 2

Proposal

Ask media, film studies students and the actors in the schools production to act in our party scene because they are more likely to listen and take it more seriously because will understand the seriousness of filming and acting.

Ask the lighting technician if can do the lighting again for us and for him to not let anyone to change the music apart from Jordan, Genie and Naomi.

Just before we film it outline to them what we actually want them to do and also position them if necessary. Mark a circle ion the stage in which I want them to stay within so it continually looks crowded and looks a club scene.

Do rehearsal before final filming so they can get to terms to what they are doing and get use to
dancing to Dubstep music, if they haven’t before.

With the camera work we are going to use a variety of camera shots and also in a way so that the projector screen is shown rarely.

The Storyboard

The Script Drafts

Deadlines

Storyboard to be done and put on YouTube by Wednesday 20th October evening - (Naomi)

Final Script to be done and put on YouTube by Tuesday 19th October evening- (Genie)

These important deadlines have not been meant by Naomi and Genie, this is having an effect on how long it is taking us to film because without the script we do not know exactly what we need to film and without the storyboard it is uncertain at times what camera shoot we are meant to be producing.

The Prop list

The Letter

We chose to use a letter to signify the time where we are filming a 1960s scene and in that era sending letters was the most common use of communication. Also we chose to have the artist's name on the letter to introduce the artist in which the letter is shown at the start.

The Laptop

We chose to use a laptop to signify the change in time where the laptop is expressing a change to the 1980s from the letter where sending emails started to become common in the 1980s. Also chose to place coloured squares on top on the laptop allows the laptop to look more retro.

Postman bag

We are using this postman bag to expresses that the man on the bike is a postman to the viewers so that the meaning will be clearer as well. Where it also having the top British post brand the Royal mail on the bag is a strong indication that the actor is a postman

The Wig

We are using the wig to signify that the character wearing it is acting out a 1960s scene. In which long hair it this wig was common in the 1960s and in the music business where also the the women in the original Mr. Postman song have long hair.
