Shooting at Tescos

The shoot at tesocs was a bit disasterous because when we got there, we found our camrea had no battery, however, we had a back-up camera which didn't give as good quality, but was better than nothing. It was quite difficult to get everyone organised and get shots without people in. Also, the store said they didn't know we were coming dispite the fact that we had had a phonecall saying it was okay and that the staff would be informed.

MUSIC PRODUCTION CRITICAL EVALUATION: PART 1

>>> Due on Moodle by 9am Monday 20th October

MUSIC PRODUCTION CRITICAL EVALUATION
Part 1 should be about 1500 words in length and should consider the planning, shooting and editing to rough cut stage. You should make use of your blog as a reference point throughout! Where you refer to real examples for comparison, give web references and as much detail as possible e.g. artist/song and video director.

Introduction
Explain what task you did for the AS production and how this one differs from it.
(e.g. thriller/kids Tv)

Part One
Explain briefly how the work came about and what the tasks were.
(Talk about learning more techniques for final Cut, analysing some real music videos and looking at student examples,talk from promo director, music range of choices, etc)

Which band/artist did your group choose and why?
(give some positive reasons here)

How did you ‘pitch’ for them?
(summarise briefly)

Where did you get your ideas from? Cite actual examples as shown on your blog!

What tasks had to be done in the research and planning phase? How were these handled and what could have been done to improve them?
(talk about storyboarding, animatic, organising places, props, equipment, people)

How did the group come to decisions about approaches to the tasks to be completed? (what range of options did you consider and why did you opt for the choices you made?)

What roles did the various people in the group take on? Concentrate particularly on your role in the various activities.

Talk about any test footage you shot. What did you learn from doing these tests and from the animatic?

Write about the shoot. What went well/badly? what could you have done differently?

Consider your early editing and how you reached the rough cut stage. Outline this process and discuss decision-making you undertook.

What does the group feel about the rough cut? What feedback have you had from director/ other students etc? what still needs to be done?

ROUGH CUT

The letter we sent to tescos

After college one day, Alice went for a wander over to the big stores in hopes of getting permission to film. No such luck, but tescos told us to write a letter, so here is it:

Dear Mr. Savory,

I represent a collective of media students currently studying at Long Road Sixth Form College. We are writing to request your permission to shoot some footage for our A level project at your store.

To minimalise any inconveniences this may cause you, we hope to film at the least busy part of the day with a maximum crew of eight. We will arrive in costume and be sure not to disturb any of your customers. We hope to film on the 6th of October at 9pm.

The music video we make will appear at the arts picture house in Cambridge on the 13th of November in front of other media students and media teachers, and we will include a thank you to the store.

We look forward to hearing from you,
Yours Sincerely

Alice Walker-Mitchell



We used college paper to show we were actual students. However, despite leaving a telephone number and address, we have yet to get a reply, hence we will have to think of a new place to film. Maybe in front of stores? Or in a kiddies park? Somewhere colourful is essential.

We take this as inspiration for our 'dysfunctional' superheroes.

Moar videos

Rian's going to look like this....face-wise, due to him not finding a pair of aviator goggles. We figured to make him look more 'villain-esque' some sort of make up would suffice.





Power Rangers.
One of the superhero greats.
