Planning

 

Equipment List:

• Camcorder
• Tripod
• Gorrilla Pod: Small, easy to use, strong and can be used hand held. the legs can be pulled together and used more as a monopod, which is more stable to use than just on its own.

• Laptop
• Apple Mac Pro

• Editing Software
• Adobe Premiere Pro CC: Reliable, I know how to use it, and it can dynamically link with other Adobe After Effects, Mocha AE and Adobe Audition.

Crew:

• Camera operator
• Catherine Maughan
• Sam Cox
• Actors
• Peter Maughan

As I wanted to use my trip to Rio as an opportunity for exotic shots and landscapes. For this reason, I had to use myself as the main actor. What this allowed me to do was perform exactly as I had intended, and not ask another actor to perform for me.

• Drama Students

The classroom students will all be drama students, allowing me to set up a realistic and believable environmnet. I will have Sam and Max trowning paper planes/ balls in the background, with Lucy Bell actin as the teacher.

• Max Mitchell
• Sam Judge
• Charlotte Glover
• Lucy Smith

• Editor
• Peter Maughan

Shooting Schedule:

• August 25th - September 3rd
• Brazil landscapes
• October 18th
• Classroom

Locations List:

• Rio
• Christ the Redeemer
• Copacabana Beach
• Ipamema Beach
• Other locations around Rio with the intention of getting various shots based on the Brazilian atmosphere
• The Downs School Classroom
• GT27

Representation in my music video:

• Rucksack represents not being about to escape society, show in the video by the classroom
• Landscape shows unending possibilities and opportunities, contrasting with the enclosed classroom space.

Planning of mise en scene:

• Backpack
• Red backpack will be worn in the Rio shots to show that even though the background and scenarios are changing, it is within the same moment as the last shot, which will demonstrate the dream sequence.
• Classroom props
• In the Classroom I will have paper balls being thrown by two of the actors playing students, and a selection of other props such as pencil cases and paper.
• Sunglasses
• The sunglasses will be worn intermittently in the Rio shots, and placed next to the main character in the final classroom shot, to show the link between dreams and reality.

Story board and lyrics:

Costume:

• Plain white or blue top
• Rucksack
• Sunglasses
• Shorts

Health and safety:

I will be in a foreign country, so I will make sure I know my location, and important locations around me. For example, I will know the whereabouts of the local police stations and hospitals, and I will make sure I know which places are safe, and which are less so. I will stay in a group of people, so that is anything was to happen to anyone, they will be ok.

Costume and make-up tests:

The only costume that is planned in the rucksack with a plan shit of varying colours, with shorts and sunglasses. All other actors will be wearing smart clothes for the classroom scenes to show they are in a school environment.

Release forms for actors:

Rehearsals:

I will practice the classroom scene with the actors multiple times before the final take. I will film the classroom shots a few times to make sure I get the best shots possible, however my Rio shots will most likely have to be film once, due to the improvetu nature of the filming.
