Shoot Board

Putting together the shoot schedules for our group was a difficult task in some cases. With the studio shoot schedule it was relatively easy, as we knew exactly what shots we were doing, and the fact that we were just going to shoot every type of framing we intended to use for the video then cut between them made ordering the shoot board really straight forward.


Using the studio time allocated to our group (Group 5's colour is green) we were able to arrange a shoot schedule for the dates we were using the studio for a long period of time. 


 All the shots were the full length of the track to avoid continuity errors when editing. All props and costumes were the same and so nothing changed all shoot, apart from background and the lighting for some scenes but even they weren't dramatic changes.

The main problems were with creating shoot schedules for the London locations using the VHS camera as the group wanted to retain the authentic look of archive footage by not planning the exact shots. Instead, we included shot influences and decided that we would try and get as many angles and types of framing as possible on the day in order to have a wide variety of choice for the edit.
 There was also the issue of renting out and transporting the equipment, along with train and bus times affecting travel times between locations. The most obvious problem is also the unpredictability of the weather.
