PLANNING: Assigned Roles:

DAY1:
Myself: I will  help with bringing the instruments and equipment from the cars to the location. I will also help with setting out the mise-en-scene, such as moving objects around, to make sure we have the right amount of space needed, to fit everything which is essential, in the mise-en-scene. I will also be taking a vast amount of still shots to make sure we have enough evidence of what we actually did on both shooting days. I will also be helping with shooting some of the footage and holding the lyrics on A3 paper for Kingston to read and mime.

Kingston: He will be acting as the lead singer in our promo video. He will be one of the main focuses of our performance side of the music video, due to he is actually the only singer in the performance side of our music video. Therefore, it is only Kingston who will need to mime the lyrics in time with the music. Kingston will need to emphasise every word and make the intended audience believe his story. This added to the costumes he will wear and the mannerisms and how he acts will all add up to whether he looks realistic enough for the audience to believe him.

Hannah: She will be in charge of shooting/filming half the performance side of the promo video. Hannah will be in charge of camera one, which will be used to shoot particular shots such as long shots and mid shots of the band. This will also be including low angled shots and high angled shots to make sure there are a clear variation in short formations when looking at our footage after shooting. Therefore, this meaning there will be enough footage to work from so we do not have just one type of shot otherwise our music promo video could be classed as boring or un-imaginative.

Henry: He will be in charge of camera number two. Henry will need to focus on getting the opposite of the variation of shots Hannah will be aiming to get. Therefore, Henry will need to be getting shots such as close-ups and extreme close-ups to show the individual band member's feelings and emotions they are trying to portray. Also we will need extreme close-up shots of the individual instruments being played by the artists. However, one thing needed to be considered is due to the fact two camera's will be in motion, Hannah and Kingston must try not to get in each other's way, or there could be shadows formed of the action taking place on the other camera. Therefore, this would overall make our production look un-professional and in a sense ammeter like meaning we would not have met our overall aim.

DAY2:
Myself: I will be filming the narrative side of our performance using a HD camera; we aim to borrow from a friend. Due to the increase in quality of the camera, this enables a variation of different camera lenses. Therefore, before filming I will need to test out what lens works best with which scene to see which shot would overall look most effective. Due to the increase in technology of this camera, it also means the camera has various focuses therefore, if we choose to create an over the shoulder shot with blocking out one of the characters, we would be able to achieve this just by using the camera alone without having to edit it afterwards.

Kingston: He will be an actor again. However, this time round he will be the ex-boyfriend who is portrayed as a ghost and is a figure of her imagination haunting her. Kingston will be undergoing changes to his facial features due to him having to wear make-up to give of the impression of 'haunted eyes'. He will be one of the main characters, and will need to try his hardest to act out the character he is trying to portray in hope to make the scene seem believable and realistic.

Hannah: She will be acting as the female character in the narrative part of our promo video. Hannah's part will be to portray the girlfriend who is being haunted emotionally by her ex-boyfriend. Hannah will be able to use her acting skills learnt in drama, to undertake this role and to give of the impression she is crying, upset, hurt and confused. Hannah will also be doing Kingston make-up due to skills she learnt previously also in drama.

Henry: He will be also filming half the duration of the footage. Henry will be in charge of making sure all the props/equipment is set up and correctly positioned before filming. Henry is the most familiarised with high tech cameras therefore, he will be in charge of taking screen shots of the scenes that will be being filmed, for photographic evidence we have done what we said we would do in planning.
