filming schedule

A filming schedule is important when creating a music video as it allows for structure and for the video to be fully planned out, it also allows us to see if there are any flaws in the narrative and if so we can fix them. The schedule allows the whole group to know when we are filming and what we will be doing during the filming, this means that they can dress appropriately and prepare themselves for the filming ahead, understanding fully what they should be doing during the scene, also the camera man should look at the schedule so he can understand the shots being used and adjust the camera to suit the scene, also he will know the length of each shot and will not have to confront the director about each shot, this allows for faster, more efficient filming.




We mostly followed the schedule but also made slight changes during filming, but in certain parts we had to improvise due to us not having the filming schedule on us, we had a rough idea of it so we could improvise and make sure the shots were still relevant and made sense to the rest of the video and will not confuse the audience during filming, this is why we took lots of time during filming as we was unsure whether we had all the correct things, for example for the pub scene we had to decide what camera shots looked best during each shot and tried to make the shots short, we also hadn't planned to have others in the background during the shots but due to the storyboard not being there we changed this and left them in the background, this ruined the scene and may have to be shot again due to this, also for the pub scene we was not meant to have the scene that dark as it ruins the shot and makes it grainy for the video and ruins the effect for the audience, we want the video to feel as real as possible and this ruins the effect, therefore we will go back to reshoot the pub scene during a earlier time with more light. The filming schedule allowed us to all to be organised as a group and understand when to be at which location and what we will be doing, this helped us film as a group and get each scene done. Some times we had to adapt the film schedule, for example in some scenes the lighting was too dark, therefore we done inside scenes instead of the scheduled outside scenes, then switched the dates around, allowing for better lighting and a better quality of filming.

There were lots of scenes that had to be adapted/followed, for example in the London scene our artist not being available for filming, therefore we had to film scenes without her and decided to film for the fast timing of shots scenes and filmed people walking past, this was used within the video to show past time and worked extremely well with the rest of the video.  Some scenes were postponed due to us having to use an actor from outside the group, this caused postponements of dates and lead to us filming later than it was preferable, therefore causing the shots to be of low quality and grainy.
