Production Log Week 2
What have you contributed this week?
- This week, we are creating a shooting script for our music video. We are all putting our ideas together now and putting in shots. We take turns with this as we have to write what happening for an individual line. It's difficult and time consuming but hopefully we can get it finished.
How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/ overall ideas of your project?
- We have to put detail and care into this shooting script because if we rush it, the music video will be poor. Our music video would look so rushed and would be confusing for the viewers because there wouldn't be enough time to figure out what would be happening so we need to focus and keep our heads screwed on.
Were there any problems?
- There wasn't any major problems this week but there were some minorities. Jada was ill on the Monday which left me and Anthony doing the shooting script and to our luck, most of the script didn't save leaving us re-doing it. After we got back to were we was, it wasn't a problem adding to it but seeing as it was Jada's music video we couldn't detail everything, even with the planning script because Jada is a perfectionist and she knows what she wants and how she wants it.
How did you/ will you overcome your problems?
- I got in touch with her via Twitter and she was telling us how she wanted it laid out and said she would complete more shots at home so eventually we would be back on track again.
What are your plans for the following week?
- Next week, hopefully we would of finished and updated the shooting script and we all should be prepared to start filming the music video.

Production Log Week 1
What have you contributed this week?
- This week, we were put into groups to begin our music video. I am with Jada and Anthony. I am happy with my group because we all get along, they are reliable individuals and we are all focused on creating this music video. At the moment, we are planning our video and have wrote key events for each section of the song e.g. intro, verses, chorus and outro. We have much hope in our music video now because we are using Jada's idea and her artist has finally given us permission to use her song which will benefit us significantly.
How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/ overall ideas of your project?
- This will fit in with our production schedule because now we have permission to use the artist's song, we can properly plan everything. Before, we was just assuming what was to happen and there was a deadline so everything was depending on the artist saying yes. Now that she has, everything is much calmer, we can be more focused on different jobs now and now we just have to get the ball rolling on making the video.
Were there any problems?
- There wasn't any major problems this week. Only minority was filming the group Q&A. There was at least 12 outtakes due to us laughing and messing us what we was going to say but after a while, it was done properly and we was focused. Planning the video was a little tricky because it was harder than we thought. Matching the lyrics to scenes we wanted to use in the song was hard because difficult because it wasn't in the verses we wanted.
How did you/ will you overcome your problems?
- We was serious with each other whilst filming the Q&A. I think it was quite annoying because we wanted to get it over and done with so at the end of it, it was becoming stressful so we was focused and aiming to take it seriously which was successful in the end. Planning the video was difficult as i said but in the end we managed to plan out where we would film and how we can match everything together so it made sense.
What are your plans for the following week?
- Next week, hopefully we will of finished the shooting script and know what angles, shots and conventions we will be using. We hope to get this done quickly because it is time consuming and we have to know exactly what we are filming because making mistakes on a shortly timed plan could ruin what we've achieved so far.

Pitch and Feedback
Are there any areas of the presentation you would like to give more detail on?
- Yes, I would. I would like to give more detail on the conventions slide because I know I didn't describe it out accurately and I was talking about something else.
What did your audience identify as the strengths of your music video idea?
- They liked how I related my idea to intertextuality and a specific modern day theme. e.g a modern day Bonnie and Clyde.
What did your audience identify as areas of improvements?
- My audience made me aware that I was starring at the board to much and wasn't making eye contact which was due to nerves, so that would definitely be an improvement.
What changes will you make to your music video concept based on the feedback you received?
- I will change how the relationship is portrayed in the music video so it can still relate to people and look like something from a film.
