Shooting schedule

I created this shooting schedule to help me with directing the music video, it helps to break up the different locations/shoots into single shots of the film this means that the filming is more organized and it makes life easier for myself.

The filming process will be completed over a day and will be split into two different shoots, one will start in the morning and the second will begin in the afternoon. Filming in one day makes the shoot more stressful and harder to organize but is very practical in the sense that it wont be as time consuming and when we have the actors for one day, we don't have to worry about there availability for another day.

The first shoot will consist of filming all of the narrative shots, in the shooting schedule below I have labelled the location, the approximate time that the shoot will begin and approximated how long each shot will take to film. This helped me to understand what I should be filming and when.

Some other information that I put on the shooting schedule was the action of the shot which will help to remind me what the actors are doing at which point in the music video. to ensure that all of the music video was covered the Lines for each shot have been noted too, this will help with syncing the artist to the song for filming and also will make the editing faster and easier.

Narrative shooting schedule

Once the Narrative shots are filmed we will be moving on to an empty warehouse to film Cara singing while a band plays. For the band scenes I created a simple structure of shots which we could film for each chorus of the song (the parts in which the Warehouse shots will be filmed), for example the first shots we will be filming would be filming different swooping shots for each of the choruses, this would take 40 minutes to film.

For some of the choruses we wanted certain shots that would only be used for that individual chorus such as Cara moving with the camera for chorus 3, this shot wouldn't take as long to film.

Below is the simple structure that I have created which lists the different types of shots that we want to film and how long it will take to film them, as you can see I allowed an hour for setting up as we are using a lot of lights and the set-up could be complicated and time consuming.

On this part of the schedule certain shot types need specialist equipment such as a Jib or Steady-Cam, this bit of information has been included to help me tell Ryan (the camera operator) what he has to film next, what equipment he will be using and how I would like the shot to look.
 

Warehouse Shot list

Once all of the shots have been filmed, I will create some other shots that I feel will look visually appealing as well as asking anyone else if they have any shot that the wish to film, Sometimes when you are on set and can actually see the set-up more idea and more creative shots will be created.
