27/10/14 - Meeting

Due to half term we aren't able to have our usual monday morning meeting but we have organised in advance what we are going to do during the week off. We have planned to take more photo's of our locations and are likely to make a start on our filming. We are going to borrow a camera off Mr Liddell and meet up on various days to begin our video.

Location Photo's

So yesterday as planned we took a photo of each location we are planning to use (attached below). So far we only have one photo of each location but we plan to get more at different times of the day to help our decision on what times to film in each location. We may also add new locations.

Second Meeting

In todays meeting we looked back on what we had done last week. Having nearly completed our storyboard we are able to move on despite it not being fully completed. We also decided our song choice for our video.

This week we have decided we are going to start taking pictures of our chosen locations as the next step to our planning. We will be taking pictures at different times of the day so we know what each location looks like in different lights. We are also going to be using different camera angles so we are prepared for filming.

Song Choice and Plans

This lesson we have all got together to decide the song we are going to create our video to. The song we have chosen is Disclosure Ft. Sam Smith - Latch. We all agreed this would be suitable song and instantly thought of ideas for our video when listening to it. We put all our ideas on paper and began a storyline.

First meeting

In our meeting today we decided that this lesson we would create the logo for our Production Company and chose the name which we did successfully as shown in my last post. Next lesson we have decided that we are going to concentrate on on picking the song that we are going to use in our video. This decision will be made and agreed by everyone in our group and once we have decided hopefully we start making our story board and then gradually get closer to start planning locations and filming.

Our Group Logo

We have decided to call our Production Company 'KKRL'. Although it seems kind of cliché, we all thought this was suitable as it represents the first letter of each of our names connoting full involvement and contribution from everyone within our group.

Group Meetings

We have decided as a group that every monday morning we will meet up and re cap on things we have already done allowing us in the upcoming week to concentrate on things that are still left to be completed. We believe that this is the best way to get things done in an organised way rather than forget to complete tasks or leave things till last minute. Monday mornings were suitable for the whole group as we are all able to attend at this time.

Deciding Our Roles

Deciding roles is an important part of the task so we thought carefully who would be best suited to each role in the group hopefully resulting in achieving the best in our abilities.

The roles are as followed;

Myself - Editor (post production), Main Actor
Kirstie - Director and Actor
Lucy - Costumes, Set and Actor
Rhyce - Camera man and Actor

We believe that each of our roles in the group will allow us to complete the task effectively.

Coursework Brief

We sat down together as a group and decided on which brief we wanted to work on. We all decided to work on the 'Promotion Package for an album release' Brief. We thought of the pro's and con's of each of the three briefs previously chosen to make our final decision and we thought the Album Release brief was best suited to our group.

Our Groups

The first step is to chose our groups. Our group is made up of; Lucy, Rhyce, Kirstie and myself. Throughout this task I believe we will work well together to achieve the best out of this task.
