Contract of Participation

























This is the contract we gave to the dancers and the DJ that are participating in our music video. We wanted to make sure that they are committed and will not let us down when we want to film.

Production Journal 5

Today we started to do our animatic of our storyboard on IMovie. We had to import the pictures of our storyboards onto the macs. We found out that we couldn't get all the shot on the camera because the types of shot and the length of shot weren't visible in the pictures we took. Also, when we first took the pictures they were blurry and then we changed the camera we were using and the quality of the pictures were better.

We also has difficulties timing each shot so it was all in time of the original track because the shots were a little long so we also had to shorten that.

Today we went out to take pictures of some of the location we are going to be filming at. The first place we went to was the location of the secret place the dancers are going to find at the end of the video. We had to ask for permission from the people who worked there before taking pictures to see if it would be ok to film there. When we started taking pictures we realized the lighting in the entrance of the location was a little bit dark, so we would have to make sure it is bright when we film.

We also, went to the location of the dance studio one of the dancers is going to be filmed at. The owners of the dance studio were ok with us filming as long as we don't film inside of the dance studio. We agreed because we only needed to film Paula who is in the video will only need to be shot going in the studio and then we will cut it so that she is in a dance studio at school.

Lastly we went to the pastor of the church we are going to be filming at to ask permission and write us a letter to see if it was ok to film inside the church. Although, we will only be filming in the youth church we wanted to see if it would be ok to film inside and if it was ok for the other members of church to be filmed as well.
We didn't really discover any other problems when we went to get evidence of recce apart from the ones stated above. The only things left to do is to finish our animatic and we would be ready to film.

Production Plan

This production plan is to help us sort out all the things we need from now till we finish filming. The first thing we need to sort out is to finish our animatic of our storyboard.

The animatic would be done on imovie and we would need to put on song over it to portray how we want it to look.We have found the location we are going to shoot at and they are: in front of a church, at a bus-stop, in front of a gym centre, a dram room(club scene), a dance studio and a classroom.

We need take evidence of recce of the location we are going to be filming at because it will help us make sure if the lighting of the place is ok and and if the places are going to ok when we decide to film. We also need to inform the cast and dancers in the music video when they are going to be needed so they are not preoccupied on the day we are going to film.

We won't be needing any props for the dancers in our music video, but we will be needing a DJ turntable for the DJ to use. We also need to inform the dancers that are going to be in the club scene to wear clothes they can dance in and something bright so we can see them in an also because that's the theme for our music video.














The last thing we need to do after we have sorted things out is to schedule the dates we will be filming on and how long we will be filming for so that everyone is involved and know what they are supposed to be doing.
