Pre-Production

The breif that we were given was to create part of already published music video. As a class we had to choose the music video to re-enact, choose location, props, costume and actors to closely match that in the published video. As a class we chose to re-enact a video which is easy to do in school, so 'thats what i go to school for' by Busted was a good choice for us.

The location was to be in school because everyone was together and we dint have to worry about people not being able to make it because we were to do it in class time. we were going to do it in the class room but at last minute changed to upstairs of the libary, because there was more space and a projector.

As a group we made a list of the props we needed to make the video as realistic as possible. Some off the props were easy to get hold of because use them in everyday life, such as pens, paper, school uniform ect. Some props were not as easy to get hold of like gutars, old school projector and film clips of monkeys were not as easy to get hold of. So we subsitiued some of these in our film. For our actual CW we will have to include unusual props so it looks realistic and not ameture.

withing the group we chose roles for each of the pople in the class:
Charlie: Andy
James: Neil
Matt: Harley
Turn around Girl: Liv
Teacher: Vic
Walking girls: Sophie and Jordan
Dancers:rest of class
Director: Aiden
Camera: Emily (ME)
Assistant director: Jack

We also made a list of all the risks that could occur when making this video and how we could stop these thing from happening:
- Tripping in the dark; clear the floor to make sure ther is nothing to trip on.
-jumping with the gutar and dropping it; use a strap so there is no chance of dropping it.
- Harm eyes in the projector; dont look directly into it.
- Charlie chewing gum; Remove before doinging the jumping around scene.
- Barging people out the way; prepare for the barge and move, dont wait to be pushed.
- Bending down could hurt back; make sure you bend at your knees and not you back.
- Jumping and hurting knees and ankles; wear proper supportive footwear.
- Papercut through passing paper; hold it properly, dont mess around.
- Ran over in carpark; keep people on guard to stop the cars when filming.
