test shoot

 Here is our test shoot we did the shoot over 3 days we did a range of different shots the reason we did this test shoot was to trial some of our shots and see what would work and to see what wouldn’t. it tested our organisation skills and our preparation skills is was the closest to the real thing that we are going to get and so it gave us a good representation of what it could look like and also helped us visualise the layout. 

booking the studio for test shoot

 

here are the bookings I made for our test shoot, I did this so that we would have a proper space to do our test shoot and also made sure it was a band room so we could have the whole band playing.

email of the set designs

 Here is the email I sent through of all our set designs and our digital design, I sent this to my teacher who is then going to pass it on to our set designer so she knows what she has to get and also have a second look and check them over. I did this because it is crucial she gets these in time so that we are able to guarantee our full set. 

development and targets

 For my development target I looked at our locations we started of with 28 different locations around Guildford as a group we looked into them in a lot more detail and we covered things like distance accessibility, how we wanted it to look visually and also safety. we also talked about how many locations we would want and we did this by looking at our song choice and deciding the placement of were they would go. in the end we chose 5 different locations out of the 28. This will make the job on the day a lot more simple and less stress full and also give us more time. all these locations a relatively close together minimising our filming time and they all give off the right feel of the song.

here are our 5 locations:

feedback on set designs

 As a group we collected all our set design images and we went up to the midi suit to talk with our set designer. we talked over all of our designs and what we wanted them to look and feel like. This was crucial to our planing proses as it showed us what we would and what we wouldn’t be able to do, we also talked over some different ideas that would make our designs even better. for example our corridor design we originally had all the walls and the floor in black however when we talked over this prospect we realised having a white floor would have more dimension and also would be a safer filming environment.

 in terms of our cramped room idea we first came up with the idea of having a roof over the band members to create the claustrophobic atmosphere we as were were talking through this the set designer suggested that we created this feel with lighting instead of an actual roof this would still give us the same feel we wanted but it would also take less time to execute. These we all adjustments that we were willing to make and as a group we were very happy of the outcome of the meeting and we are confident everything will look how we want it to look and how it will feel.

finding shoot locations

 On the weekend I drove to Guildford to look and find some possible locations for our shoot. I started at the bottom of Guildford and I worked my way up looking for ally ways, long stair cases and any urban looking locations that would be suitable. the reason that I looked at Guildford was that is was the closes city that would have these urban locations and it wasn’t going to take us a huge time to get there. the reason I did this was to make sure we were prepared on the day and didn’t waste time looking for locations on the day. I also did this to make sure we had many options so we could fin the perfect locations. I also tried going a bit later in the eventing to try and get a feel of what it would look like. 

here are the images I took:
