Location Reccees

 Park setting:

Due to this part of the production being a public park, we will need to reach out to the council of that area and request permission to film here, more often than not there will be a fee to film which must be taken into the budget of £8500.

Bristol St Andrews Park:

Pros

- Large open space, allowing for easier movement and transportation of equipment

- well kept as wanted, fits with the concept

-Terrain looks mostly flat which further eases any transportation difficultuies

-Nearby to locations that could be used in second setting

-Large amount of greenery which fits the colour scheme

Cons

-Popular park so would have to block off access to the public

- Not as many flower beds as hoped for so the aesthetic is slightly reduced

- Is quite a way away so accommodation would have to be considered


cost: £350


Coombe Abbey Coventry


 Pros:

-Beautiful location near water and vegetation

- Relatively flat ground

-Not very expensive to film

-very large park with different areas to film in

cons:

-Close to water which is a hazard

-parking is a distance from filming location, making transportation difficult

-very popular location so would have to block off from the public

cost: £120


I have decided to use St Andrews park in Bristol as my location because, even though it a little more expensive to use, it is safer and near potential locations for set 2, potentially minimising the need to travel to a different location.

Set 2

For this set I have decided to use a location in Bristol to minimise the travel and accommodation costs we would gain from traveling to a different location. 

Bristol register office:

Pros:

-Modern and aesthetically pleasing, adds to aesthetic of the video

-Can book with the same people as st Andrews park

-Easy accessibility making equipment transportation easier

-Sticks with natural colours, further running with colour scheme

cons:

-Slightly smaller than originally pictured

-No vegetation on the exterior

-No elevator, meaning risk carrying equipment up stairs

Cost: £275

Kings Weston House


 Pros;

-Venue size is perfect

- Vegetation on exterior

-Beautiful aesthetic, photo already matching the layout wished for

-Venue on bottom floor making transportation of equipment easier

Cons;

 -No reception area meaning the beginning of scene would have to be relocated outside 

-Popular venue so is difficult to get a venue

-Not located too close to any accommodation 

Cost: £550 

 

I have decided to go with the Bristol register office as the location is more convinient and fits the budget better along with the reception area fitting with the concept.

Carol Vernallis - The kindest cut

 Carol Vernallis' theory revolves around four different concepts, being narrative, diegesis, camera movement and framing and editing. Narrative Vernallis states that a music video is the visual response to a song and its lyrics and therefore the video should support the lyrical meaning along with the music. However, the artist should still remain consistently present. This is to allow the audience to feel closer to the artist, along with identify with the music, this in theory leads to the artist gaining support from new fans. Music videos can, but are not limited to being balanced between narrative and performance, the video can be mostly performance or narrative and still convey a strong meaning whilst appealing to the audience. Vernallis goes on to state that continuity isn't as important in music videos and the narratives may often feel fragmented or unfinished; this is because the focus of the audience should still be on the song and if the narrative followed all basic rul...

Schedule

Image
  Due to me having issues with excel, I have made a listed time schedule rather than a gantt chart, here i have listed all of the tasks I need to. get done, when I should start them and when they should be finished by. Bellow you will find a brief evaluation of how well I followed it. Throughout this project I have completed all of the production tasks on time, however, If I could change anything I would give myself more time to reshoot as I have some footage I wish I could change but could not because of poor weather conditions. I, however didn't complete any of the evaluation by my planned finish date due to organisation problems, next time I would to improve, create a gantt chart so I can more effectively manage my time.

My Film Plan

  Jaques Lacan Key words/Phrases to focus attention on when filming: -Lack of fulfilment -Mirror My main idea My idea is to convey body dysphoria that is experienced by a transgender person. This links to Lacans theory because my characters fantasy of what they wish they could look like feels un-achievable, and due to this they will always feel a lack of fulfilment. I will be conveying this by starting with multiple different shots of the protagonist still looking feminine, wearing makeup and a dress, I will use a variety of shot types to convey their discomfort as the video continues. The protagonist will be shown distressed and taking their make up off, making their hair more "boyish" and changing into less feminine clothes. Even after this character has shown themselves attempting to appear more masculine, they will be shown to feel a lack of fulfilment through showing their maladaptive habits such as smoking and drinking. I will also show the stress of money that sufferin...
