Filming schedule - Miss Georgiou

A filming schedule is very important to have when planning the shots for your media product because it gives you a very good guideline to follow when it comes to filming. For example, for each frame of the storyboard we had to make a description of what would happen in the frame, the camera technique used and how long it will be used for, the iconography we will bring to filming, the time and date the group are able to film and etc. The whole schedule was very helpful as Me and my group were communicating a lot to clear up when we could film and what time we were all available.

One change that we made was the filming location of new playing location, we specified that the new location would still be in Liverpool Street, however due to the very small window of a filming opportunity with a couple of our other mates, we had to instead film in Loughton High Road so that the other people could get there quicker and so that we could start filming as soon as we found a good location in the High Road. Another change we made during filming was the use of equipment, we always brought the camera and tripod, however we never utilised the tripod to the best of our ability, this was due to short time periods of when our group could film and getting the tripod set up took a bit of time and me and my group couldn't afford to not utilise all the time that we had. A change that me and my group made when filming was an additional scene we created where the mugger steals the artists money, there is a very short reaction shot of the artist looking where the mugger is running, we created this to show further variation of camera techniques utilised in our music video. A filming schedule is very important to the role of producing a media product as it allows a group to follow these guidelines in order to create their product and it also clears up a lot of confusion when filming as it allows the group to look back at the filming schedule to see what shot is next.
