P5: Source special effects footage in line with the production plan
These are images of the special effects that I used and them being applied/Used:
This is the application of special effects makeup used to create the effect of scarring on the actor's face around his eye and nose. This gave him a "rugged" look which fit with the tone of the video.

P6: Review and Edit sourced footage
Here I will display some "rushes" and evaluate them:

What was the production process behind this shot?: This shot was recorded in the Netherhall media TV studio, using 3 of the 4K studio cameras. The subject was placed in front of a black curtain and had a single studio light illuminating him. I then had him play the song at the correct tempo so that I can sync up audio more easily, and recorded the shots from the booth, using the vision mixer to switch between camera angles.
Compare this shot to the storyboard - are they the same?: This shot matches up to the fourth and fifth panel in my storyboard, where I show the band member playing a guitar. The camera angles aren't exactly the same as in my storyboard, as I decided while filming that those angles were too static and uninteresting, so I added and changed up the angles of the shot What direction did you give to the cast and crew and how did you work within the risk assessment?: I directed the cast (actor) to stand within the designated marked area, and play the song on tempo, for which I had a metronome playing in the background for him to hear. I directed the rest of my crew to help set up equipment such as lights so that they were safe and secure. To keep within the risk assessment I assured that everybody kept hydrated, but kept water outside of the studio. I also ensured that the setting up and handling of lights would be done with protective gloves so that nobody would be burned by the heat they emit. |
What was the production process behind this shot?: This shot was recorded at the Cherry Hinton chalk pits, using a Handheld HD sony camera. I filmed this scene handheld so it would look more rough and imperfect, fitting with the tone that I'm trying to achieve for the video.
Compare this shot to the storyboard - are they the same?: This shot matches one of the final panels on my storyboard, though it is lacking a rain effect, which I will add in editing as a visual effect What direction did you give to the cast and crew and how did you work within the risk assessment?: I directed the actor to pose in a squatting position in that specific location, to show the vast expanses of field behind her, as well as the industrial building site. I instructed the rest of the crew to be alert for any passers-by who might be concerned by our presence, and to inform them of the situation and show them the permissions we had gained. They were also instructed to stand far back behind me/the camera, so as to not appear in the shot accidentally. |

What was the production process behind this shot?: This shot was also recorded at the Cherry Hinton chalk pits, using the same sony HD camera. I filmed the shot from a low angle, looking up on the actor, to show the power of the character and create a feeling of powerlessness within the audience.
Compare this shot to the storyboard - are they the same?: This shot matches the 10th panel on my storyboard, and they are roughly the exact same apart from lightning effects, which I will be adding later What direction did you give to the cast and crew and how did you work within the risk assessment?: I directed the actor to stand menacingly on top of the hill, looking down on something below. This was done to create the effect of the character being scary and menacing, as well as powerful as he is looking down to the level that the camera is on, almost looking down on the audience. I once again instructed the rest of the crew to be alert for any passers-by who might be concerned by our presence, and to inform them of the situation and show them the permissions we had gained. They were also instructed to stay out of shot, though it would have been difficult for them to get in shot in the first place as it was above the level that we were on. I also directed a member of the crew to head up to the upper level with our actor to ensure that he was safe and that everything was okay in terms of security. |
What was the production process behind this shot?: This shot was also recorded at my second location of The Cherry Hinton chalk pits, using a Handheld HD sony camera.
Compare this shot to the storyboard - are they the same?: This shot matches the first three panels of my storyboard, except in a different order. This is because I plan to reverse the footage in editing to replicate the effect seen in my storyboard. This is intended as an establishing shot paired with a shot for a title card, which will be added in editing as the camera is looking at the sky. What direction did you give to the cast and crew and how did you work within the risk assessment?: There is no cast in this shot, nor is it a very complicated shot to film, so I simply went on location to film this shot myself |

What was the production process behind this shot?: This shot was captured during the daytime outside so that there would be adequate light and no lighting equipment would be required. I had the camera on a tripod so that the shot would be steady and remain in the same position for the whole time.
Compare this shot to the storyboard - are they the same?: This shot reflects the first shot on the second page of my storyboard. The shot is roughly the same kind of wide shot, but I will be adding the visual effect of the sky chromakey in editing. What direction did you give to the cast and crew and how did you work within the risk assessment?: I directed the actor to walk along the path in the manner that he did once one of the crew members gave him a signal. This took a few takes to get right but worked out well in the end in my opinion |
