Filming schedule - Miss Georgiou


Within the filming schedule, me and my group thoroughly planned each fraction in detail with help from planning with our storyboards. Although, we would go into more detail with the dates, times, the content, costume, hair, make-up, iconography, personnel involved and equipment needed to complete the certain fraction. During filming, me and my group did follow the filming schedule in order to be organised and complete the music video in timed form. We did not make any changes. However, we had to change a date to the day after for the house party scene as it made more sense for the extras involved and the party host could no longer do that day. This set back did not hold my group back due to the minor date change of just the day after. This is shown through fractions 12 to 19 and also 43 to 56. All of the rest of the scenes stayed exactly the same, which represents our effective organisational and planning skills. The costume stayed exactly the same, which was shared throughout the group of existing clothes we already had which we thought was suitable for a particular scene and the representation of the artist. We would change things slightly which would range in the duration of the shot, for example adding or taking away a second to make the




















Within the planning of this detailed filming schedule, there are a few fractions which we decided to change. Me and my group decided to convert different days around which where meant to be for different scenes. The dates which we were meant to film our walk of shame scene on the 15th November. However; we had previously checked various weather apps to ensure we got the most precise accuracy of temperature possible. It said it was meant to be mild, which was suitable for the walk of shame scene, as the neutral weather allowed no disruption from the distraction of the artist. The day we decided to include then coincidentally was terrible weather as it was raining all night. Although, me and my group decided to take advantage of the equipment we currently were possessing and concluded to use this day to film the bedroom scene. This was effective as it was indoors and the rain would then not interrupt our filming. This was the only change towards the planning of our filming schedule.

We decided as a group to re film the party scene, as the filming which we did manage to get was not effective and would have ruined the music video. We decided as a group, it would be more successful to create a hypothetical party scene, where it is all acted out without using authentic party scene material. We thought this was better as extras which were involved were not listening to instructions and only wanted to enjoy their Friday night out. We will now create this scene in an earlier afternoon time rather than late at night, and are also shooting it in school rather than an actual house party. This would be more effective as people in a school environment will naturally feel more motivated to complete the work. The filming of this scene is postponed to the 4th December.

Additional scenes my group decided to include was made in the performance scenes. We initially planned to use types of cinematography like mid shots and close ups just of the artist singing in the middle of the stage. However, on the day of filming, we thought involving close ups of the artist also singing against a brick wall would be effective. This then allowed us to involve a variety of shots within this scene. We also added more footage to other verses which we had not planned to use for this scene. We thought this was efficient as we were then more organised incase of another scene ends up not fitting well with the verse, we then have a back up plan. From the role of a filming schedule, I have learnt how much detail needs to be involved within every fraction of the scene. This then allowed us to be more organised and more aware of what needs to be provided for a certain scene. This type of planning allowed us to be more formulated as a group.  We went into detail in every element for the fraction, this involved micro elements such as costume, hair and makeup, camera shots, iconography, equipment, date, time and locations.

  1. This post demonstrates some good understanding of what a filming schedule is and the benefit that it has to a production. The table that you have included above, demonstrates good planning techniques with your group, as it is clear to see that you have considered your group storyboards. You have made a start in explaining what shots/scenes you will film again, but you need to elaborate on these points further, by exploring your points and reasons in more detail.

    Aim-
    1) Elaborate on your points and reasons, for re-filming certain shots/scenes
