Pre-Production Paperwork Evaluation

Production Schedule
The first sheet i had to complete was my production schedule. It was very important that i got this done first. The reason this was important was because it kept me organized, it showed me what sheets i needed to complete and when they needed to be completed. When it came to starting my production it was helpful because i had already known that i had everything finnished. So therefore it was easy just to think about getting the production done.

Treatment Package
My treatment package contained such things as the name of my music video, the characters and the synopsis. Its important to know about the synopsis of my music video. Especially if the music video has a strong narrative. People need to get an idea of that the music video is about before they see it. I wanted people to understand it as it's harder to understand when it's moving images.

Storyboards
My storyboard was one of the most important part of my pre-production. It was helpful to me because i could section my music video into seperate shots. It was easy to find each scene and it was easier to shoot each shot because it was all in order. For my benefit i added how long each shot had to last. This was optional but it helped me a lot structuring my scenes so im pleased i ended up doing that.

Other Sheets
Performer release - I had to get my friend's permission to star in my music video by him signing a performer release sheet. This was proof that i asked him if he would participate in my music video. So its important i have the proof.
Risk assessment - On other peoples behalf i filled in a risk assessment sheet so that my crew could be informed about any risks that may happen on set. This is important that these issues are raised because its my responsibility if someone is hurt and i havent raised an issue.
Equiptment Booking Form - The equiptment booking form informed the technitions that i had reserved a camera kit. If i hadn't of filled out a booking form i would of not been able to take out kit. So it was important that this was completed.
Call Sheet -  Out of all these sheets the call sheet was the most important. Call sheets are important because people needed to know what time they would need to be there and where abouts. It also has to show them everyone's number that is working on the project so therefore everyone can have contact with eachother. It also showed them where they could accsess different facilities such as toilet,food cafes etc. So therefore this was very important to have proof of. For example if someone couldnt make it you could get in contact with

Videos.

I looked at numourous Lady gaga videos. Even though the song i chose is a Lady gaga song, the song i think is very unique compared to her others and i couldnt really find a video of hers that matched the song. This is why i looked at other artists that are a comparisson to her.

Bjork's Hidden Place shows lots of emotion through the up close camera shots of Bjork's face and the lyrics of the song, The way emotion is shown in Bjork's song helped me be able to put my own emotion accross in my music video.  

I got the whole idea about having my video in black and white from Madonna's Vogue. It's very popular for its beauty and its black and white effects. I always knew i was going to do my music video in black and white because i knew it was going to fit in with the concept and the song of my music video, however Madonna's Vogue also helped me think of the compoenets i needed in my music video to make it looks interesting, instead of just having tons of shots in black and white.
