Planning: Organisation of the Group: Production Schedule Call Sheet: Band Scene

Below is a Production Schedule Call Sheet. It has contains the same information as the Boys Scene one, i.e people needed, props needed, location and time.

As this is another major filming event, I believe that this will help us make the best use of the time available, and again, minimising the amount of human errors which could occur.

Planning: Organisation of the Group: Production Schedule Call Sheet: Boys Scene

Below is a Production Schedule Call Sheet to maintain organisation of our actors, locations, props and costumes. It contains which members of the crew should be at a given location, at a given time. It also contains a list of props which need to be brought to the location. By doing this, it gives us the best possible chance of completing as much filming as we can, and also minimises the chance of props etc being forgotten.

I do intend on creating one of these for each major event.

Planning: Organisation of the Group: Call Sheet

Below is a call sheet which we created.


On this sheet it provides us with a schedule of who in our group should be wear, and what with i.e what props to bring, what location to be at etc. By doing this we thought it would be a good way to keep us on schedual, and keeps everyone organised with what tasks need to be done, who needs to be where , with what etc.

Planning: Story Board

After our Productive meetings we managed to successfully create our story board for our music video. It mainly consists of shots of the band, and of three boys in a bedroom having a 'boys night' and three girls in a girls bedroom having a 'girls night'. The main theme of the story board is that the girls are harrassing the boys, the boys feel they are a 'Booty Call'.

Planning: Treatment Sheet - Photographs of Possible Locations - Boys Location

After locating the possible locations for the girls room, we have identified a location for the males bedroom.  This location is being considered as it provides a blank canvas to be able to transform the room into a proper 'boys' room. The carpets and curtains are blue which is normally associated with boys, therefore making the location feel more believable.

Planning: Treatment Sheet - Possible props

After examining our props list we have identified some of the items we will need to buy on auction sites such as eBay. I have taken a screenshot of some of the items we have identified as possible props.

The cow boy hats are required for intertextuality. The lyrics mention the film Broke Back Mountain. The film stars two cow boys , who fornicate and we wish to make a visual link to the links by having two of the boys just bholding hands and wearing these cow boy hats.



The blow pipe will be used in a scene were we again intent to visually express the lyrics when they comment on the board game Cluedo.

Instruments
In addition to this we intend to use musical instrument in our video to reflect that the band actuallyhave genuine musical talent, as most of the band can play a musical instrument. We intend to use guitars and drums as they are typical 'band' instruments. Acoustic Guitar 

Boxes

We will require multicoloured boxes as we intend to use them during the band scene with the letters BOOTY on each box. WE do not no fully what we intend to do with them yet, all we know is that we will require them.

Planning: Treatment Sheet - Justification Of Idea's in Relation to Genre

We have kept to the music video genre in many ways. One way is the cinematic aspect. We are a series fast editing and bright colours in our music video. This doesn't just relate to the music video genre entirely, but mirrors most indie pop music videos where we drew most of our inspiration from. We are also using lip-syncing, which is a huge aspect of the music video genre, along with a band with instruments and a lead singer. The band scene is also a traditional feature of a indie pop music video. Our music video relates to the artist as it has a very comedic effect. We tried to implement a lot of humour into our video, which is very much what The Midnight Beast like to do.

Planning: Treatment Sheet - Photographs of Possible Location - Girls Room

As part of our preparation, we have been considering possible location for our music video, mainly the girls room. We have identified a possible location for the girls bedroom. This location is being considered as it has the typical 'girl' feel to it which will make the video appear more convincing and more believable. The room is also quite bare, which will allow us to transform it into a teenage girls room with the addition of possible posters. 


Here are some photo's of the location.

Planning: Treatment Sheet - What resources will we need?

Today during another productive meeting, we discussed and brainstormed what resources we need in the form of

Props
Actors
Settings


Props

If this image isn't clear, we said we will require
• phones -
• wigs -
• bubbles -
• pipes -
• tape measure -
• cluedo! -
• cowboy hats -
• Pom poms
• cards
• pizza
• brownies
• ps3
• dressing gown
• twister
• car
• guitar and triangle
• pyjama's

The majority of these props we brainstormed were included because they can all be represented and presented in a "fun" light which will comply with our target audience focus group findings. Many of the props such as the wigs, the cluedo!, brownies etc are all being used for some visual representation of the lyrics.

Actors

We will require Three Male Actors to imitate the three male musicians in the band The Midnight Beats. As all three members sing in the song, we will need three different actors in our video to represent each member. In addition to this we may require three females. This is because in the song the members are being harassed by girls calling their phones. We require three females to be these girls.

Settings

We think that in our video we are going to use two locations. The first being a males bedroom. The second being a females bedroom. The driving force between this idea was that to try and capture a fun element into our location. One of the most "funniest" places a young boy could be, would be his bedroom in a 'lads sleepover' environment.

Planning: Organisation of Cast: Cast and Crew Contact Details

After our productive meeting, I thought it would be in the groups best interest to create this table containing Cast and Crew Contact Details. By doing this, every cast and crew member will have each others contact details, which will enable us to maintain good levels of communication with each other. This will assist us with keeping excellent organisation of actors, locations, props and costumes required.
