Research and Planning.

Before we started to film the busted task we created a storyboard of every single shot that we were going to do and wrote down what type of shots they were, the next thing we did was to make a shooting script where we would get all the proper shots of the real video and select people from the class as the cast members and get them to bring the right props in on the right days.

Which of the planning tasks was most useful?

Getting the class to lip sync to a selected song was very useful as it gave us an idea of how we were going to go about doing it and showed the difficulty of the task of lip syncing was especially to a song which alot of us did not know the lyrics to. i think the most useful task was actually trying to merge the original track with our lip syncing video as it showed us that its not simple but made us more familiar with the programme adobe premier pro.

What kinds of planning did you wish you done more of?

I think we needed a bit more preperation of learning the music and in which order the shots and scenes were in, also trying to keep cast members up to date as some times some of the cast members didnt know what days they were meant to bring what in even though their was a sheet provided.

What kinds of planning do you expect to be doing during the A2 year?

I think the planning in the A2 year needs to be more thorough and up to date because if you fall behind it is then harder to get back on track especially if the work we are doing is quite detailed, I think the planning will be relatively the same but we will be alot more knowledgable therefore more able to keep on track with the tasks we are doing. next year we will definatly have to plan out our time distribution, storyboarding and shooting scripts as these are 3 of the vital things to making our task successful.
