Production log 1

We are planning to film our first band shoot on the 24th of January. This will consist of the full band playing the full song. Harry asked two of his friends Luke and Lewis to participate in the shoot by playing the the roles of guitarist and bass guitarist. We also asked Tom Ross to be the drummer because he can actually play the drums therefore he is going to learn the song and give the footage an authentic feel to it as he will be playing the right parts of the drum kit while being in time with the song.
Harry also asked the drama teachers if we was allowed to use the drama room to film in and they gave us permission.
As Cinematographer I have planned a few shots that i think are essential. I want to get a wide shot of the whole band playing the full song (camera on tripod) which can be then be cut back to throughout the music video.
I also want to get a lot of close ups of the actors playing their instrument and especially capture the expression on the lead singer's (played by Harry) face while he is singing.
I am planning to get a tracking shot of the floor panning up towards harry as the intro of the song begins to play out.

A Tripod
A Steady Cam
A DSLR Camera
Spare Batteries
Camera Light

Equipment that we will need as props will be:

Electric Guitar
Microphone / Mic Stand

Digi Pak Plan

This week, I continued to make progress with my Digi pak project. I have begun to draw out what I hope to create on photoshop. This is a first draft and I plan to make at least two or three digi pak designs so I can choose what I think is best. I also have a list of song names for the album. I have decided the album name will be Blind Faith.
