Research and Planning.

I think out of the planning the shooting script was definitely most helpful, it helped us organised our time most appropriately and get the shots done quickly one after another, the shooting script was designed in such a way that we would not have to move the camera much between shots, making it quicker with less messing around.


I wish we had done more planning or perhaps involved the storyboard more as the shots we had weren't quite the same as the ones in the video, making it quite difficult to get a likeness and know what clip goes where. We managed to get around this partly by the way of using the camera view tool on Premiere Pro, we were able to change the camera view slightly by longitude and latitude, it also meant you could zoom in, making it good for the close ups that we didn't quite get right, with more detail I think the storyboard could have been our most useful asset.


During the A2 year I expect to be using shooting lists and storyboards a lot more than we have done previously, for the remake of our music video a shooting script would be very useful because it helps us organize our time better.


I also expect to be using a storyboard, but in a lot more detail, we will also have to get permission to use the song, evidence for which is included in the planning.


Like in this small video will be need a prop list, listing who is responsible for what, a risk assessment is also required, however for the real music video we do it will need to be a lot larger and more detailed.
