Call sheets


Before every shoot a call sheet had to be created. This was my job as i am the producer. The call sheet specified the meeting times, props and costumes needed, contact details and shots that we would be doing during the shoot. This meant we could manage out time more easily when we were on the shoot. As well as doing all the shots specified on the call sheet, we made sure we did many of the shots from different angles so that we would have enough footage. We also took the story board with us so that we could see what we were tryin to shoot.

PROBLEM! (resolved)

The lead singer of our band was suspended from school on the day of our first shoot and will no longer be in our video. However Elliot and myself went to the studio in Tom Hinks' house to do some practice shots without the band, whilst there we had a brainstorm with a eurika moment! We now plan to use Tom Hinks' who is prolific at the guitar and drums in our video and film it as if he is three different band members. This is a unique and original idea that we think will work well along with our comical style to the video. We will play with the idea by including various styistic features and special effects, such as the use of split screen to have three Tom's on screen at once, each one a different band member, also we will quickly switch from one shot of Tom as a certain band member to another hopefully giving the comical illusion that he is in two/three places at once.
