Production Log: Week 2

What have you contributed this week?

In the second week of pre- production myself and Prinul had begun creating our shooting script. We were told that we needed to aim for at least 75 shots for the 100 shot goal in the coming week (05/04/2014). We both had hit this minimum really well and are really pleased with the shots we have so far. We had a mutual understanding on what we wanted our shots to look like and how we wanted to display it when it came to making our video. Compared to the class we felt that we were behind with the amount of shots produced during lesson time, however we went at this pace to make sure we had taken every little detail into consideration, so when it comes to producing our music video there will be no problems or confusion. Because we were behind in the amount of shots we had taken our own time on the weekend by Skyping each other and fulfilling the 75 shots. We didn't want to complete the shooting script just yet as we wanted some advice from our teachers on how we should fix the ending of our idea, this is because me and Prinul cant find a good solution for our music video to end without making it end randomly and not smoothly, when we have some direction I am sure we will be able to come to and agreement on how we should end the video. 

How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas of the project?

The shooting script will be very beneficial for us in the future as it is a structural guideline on what we want our video to look like. This also makes good use of our time so we don't end up at our location not knowing what to do 

Were there any problems?

There was some problem deciding on when we would be able to Skype as we both have weekend jobs, however we came to a decide that we would do it every Sunday so we will be able to update our weekly progression in these production logs etc. 

How did you/will you overcome them?

It was not a huge problem at all and was resolved well as we will made the shots in time like we were supposed too. 

What are the plans for the following week?

The main deadline for 100 shots on the shooting script is on Wednesday so lessons until then will be based on completing and perfecting what we have already.
