For my music video I only need to actors, so to communicate with them I have used different variations of message such as through Facebook messaging and using the app Whatsapp. I had to communicate with my actors to consider dates and times and how we will be getting from different location that I will be shooting at. Luckily enough I drive and have my own car so means of transport are not an issue. My actor and actress live fairly close to me so organising where to pick them up in terms of direction was also not an issue. Also within this group chat and separate individual messages I will give my actor and actress descriptions on what costume and make-up they require to wear for each shoot. As my video is narrative based my actors need to have good performance skills, as in one of my previous posts I have given description of my actor’s backgrounds, and as Daniel is a drama student he is ideal to perform the lead role in my video. Below are some screen shots of the initial group chat between me and my actors and how we have organised timing and dates to shoot.
From the group chat we have organised a day for shooting Sunday
the 7th of December as this was the most convenient day for everyone
considering college and part time jobs. Initially I had the idea to film one
day after college but this was not ideal because as college finished at 4:00
the sun sets to early making it difficult to film successfully. Also adding to
this by time we travelled to locations and set up the equipment it would be too
dark to get any sufficient footage, so we have organised a weekend day to shoot
as I will have suitable hours to get filming done and time to travel to
necessary locations.
I also looked at the weather forecast for my day of filming
using the BBC website for a seven day forecast.
From this weather forecast I was given information on sun rise and sun
set this.
Second day of shooting, from my first day of shooting I was unable to gather enough footage to edit so therefore oragnised a second day for shooting on the 18th of December.
