Potential Hazards I May Encounter While Filming


Above are potential hazards I may encounter while filming, and actions I took to prevent them from happening. This was an essential part of my filming, as I obviously did not want to injure myself or others, or worse, damage the camera!

Time Line and Story Board

To help us plan for our music video, we had to create a time line and decided what we wanted to include in the video. All my clips last for around 4 seconds. I have decided to include a narrative part with a girl and the lead singer, and add in the band playing instruments. Some parts will be played in a park, and the rest in a house. The band will perform on a white background. Below are shots of my timeline:


 



To create my story board, I had to use my time line to draw pictures of what I wanted my shots to look like onto post-it notes. I had to show what camera angles I wanted to use, and any addition information was written underneath. Over all, I did about 45 different pictures, which were annotated and I wrote the lyrics above each picture and also the length of time that clip would be shown. I had 8 sheets in total.
I will use them when filming my video to aid me in getting the desired angles and shots.
Here are a few shots of my story boards and there are also some close ups of the images I did and you can see timings and annotations around it:

 

 













After I had completed my story board, I then had to create a video out of them by using Premier Pro.
I used a camera and tri-pod to steady my shots, and then filmed the notes for however long I needed to, although I did go over a few seconds just to ensure I got a good and steady shot. After I had completed this, I caputed the footage on Premier Pro and imported the track which I am using, which is Teenage Kicks by The Undertones. I then began to cut my film into what I hope my music video will look like.
Below is my finished video:
