Filming Schedule - Miss Georgiou

A filming schedule is important to make as it supplies a detailed plan for the crew member. Knowing what time and date allows us a group to have time to organise what we need. In addition to this it also provides us with enough time to get everyone together to check if they can actually make that particular date and time. In addition to this it enables us to plan the location, this gives that person time to set up there house or for a group member to double check if this location is suitable for the scene anyway. The content and action allows us to plan and have an idea of what particular shots are present as it gives us a more professional approach while shooting the scene. This type of planning also helps when writing down the particular shot type of duration of the shot. This enables us as a group to be quick and get filming over and done with effectively and fast. The type of costume, hair and make up planned allows us to inform the actors before hand how we want them to look. For example if we want our artist to look more done up then we may ask her to wear heavy make up which will make her stand out a lot more form the crowd. The iconography is one of the most important things on the actual filming schedule just because it allows us to know what to bring. We are also able to supply the right props for our actors as we are ultimately more organised and we are less likely to forget crucial props. As well as iconography in the scene we are able to write down and organise the exact type of equipment we need to bring such as the camera things and necessary things that will make the best shots possible. 

While actually going out and beginning to film our music video. Not all shots we filmed where followed accurately from the film schedule. This meant that as a group we had to adapt to different things that we may not exactly expect to happen in a situation. This type of situation would be the weather and changes to the sunlight. For example as we are now in November we wasn't as prepared for endless days of less sunlight. This meant that filming after school times outside have become very difficult as we are unable to change the lighting of this as it is not artificial. This means that as the sun went down and less light was supplied to the camera the quality actually began to decrease The clips that we filmed actually became a lot more grainy then expected. This became known to us while filming the 'goodbye scene' inout music video. We wanted the lighting to be darker to demonstrate how sad this was and how much of an effect the overall departure of the couple meant. While editing these clips we released that the lighting effected the atmosphere and quality of the music video in a bad way. The fact that it was so dark caused the grainy effects and at times it was hard to even see the actors and artist involved in the shot. This meant that we had to re-film this scene in the morning where the sun was very bright and at its peak. Although the effect of the scene wasn't as dramatic we knew we had the opportunity to change this during the editing by adding a filter.  In addition to this we had the same thing happen while filming the piano scenes.  This meant that as a group we had to adjust the indoor lighting and make it a lot more accessible for the audience by changing the lighting to make it brighter. This meant that second time round the clips where a lot more clearer and had a better quality appearance. The main issue that occurred while filming was the fact that we all had busy schedules. The our artist was the one who actually struggled the most as she had her own media music video to film as well. This meant that as a group we struggled with timing and all being able to be there. Although this sometimes delayed us it enabled us as a group to do further research and planning while creating our music video. Overall the use of a filming schedule has helped to supply a very accurate plan of our different shots that are being used in  the music video.
