27/01/11 Production Plan- Re-filming Childrens Television Sequence

Today we intended to finish all filming by re-shooting our failed kids tv show scene and lost scene during our college lesson, while later on in the day Will and Jack would film the remaining slot of a babestation replacement and film the intro and outro to this music video ( a young boy turning the TV on and off).

However,due to extreme restraints on the ability to film the lost section(extremely difficult weather conditions,causing the filming to look to amateur and all round feeling that this section would be way too difficult to produce correctly) We decided this section would be replaced with a stop motion animation style sequence. We also decided that the replacement for the babestation section (this was cancelled as the member willing to do this scene quit mid filming),would be a top gear style driving show.

9:00am- Due to a change in band member, we have decided to re-film the Children's Television Sequence. We have chosen to use a plain background as the previous one was too noisy and drew attention away from the actors. We also used a puppet to ensure that it was clear it was a children's television programme.

9:30am- we had completed the kids scene section and decided to move onto the animation section we have decided to use instead of our proposed 'lost' sequence.

10:00am- We began to prepare our cutouts and backdrop for our animation.

1:00pm- We started filming our animation. This took some time as we needed to make it look semi-fluent so it will be easier to sync in editing.

3:00pm- We had captured all the images we needed for the animation. We then edited them into our final sequence.

4:00pm- After college,we went to wills house and with the use of his car were able to film a short 'top gear' style short as a quick replacement to babe station, this sequence was very simple to do as in terms of costume,only smart casual clothes were required and the only prop was simply the car.

4:30pm- We then used Will's brother and living room for the shooting of the intro and outro scenes,these were shot fairly quickly also due to the simplicity in the nature of each shot.

(Single angle continuous shot of both the boy sitting down and turning the TV on and then turning the TV off and walking out the room) The outro was adapted last minute to include the boy to say 'Mum i want good shoes new single! Mum' this speech was used at the end as a pun on promotion and the usage of music video in terms of music sales.

(These last two sections were then edited into our final cut the next day,leaving only minor adjustments needed such as the channel logos in the top of the screen and small parts of lip syncing to be edited to create the final cut in the next week)
