Production log week 3

Week 3

17th of may to the 24th of may 2015

What did I do this week?
This week I planned out with Prinul when we should film the advert and where we should film. We chose to film on Wednesday as it was best for both of us and chose to film at Queen Elizabeth Olympic park as it was iconic and famous and easy to access and we hope it will not be too full to film in. Looking at the weather for Wednesday the 27th it looks to be very hot and nice which is perfect for filming and generally being outside but bad for getting filming done quickly as if the day is really nice and sunny there will be more people walking around and having a camera with us could put the camera at risk in case anyone walks into us and causes the camera to drop and break or someone tries to steal it. To take this pre-caution I will be wearing the camera's strap around my hand to stop it from being taken and after i am done using it, I will place the camera back in it's carrying bag and keep that bag out of sight.

Logistical challenges
A logistical challenge we faced this week was when we rehearsed the advert at school and when looking back on it, we noticed that some the advert didn't seem to flow and that it might take longer than 30 seconds.To fix this we will be trying to cut the advert as little a possible to make it seem like it was filmed in one shot. We also are going to speed up the actually challenge when the challenger is attempting to eat the flake as that takes to long for them to eat, we also might be adding a split screen towards the end sometime around 25 second into the advert of 4 different people doing the challenge to make the advert seem like more people are doing it.

Technical Challenges
The only technical challenge we had was when we were looking at the footage we had filmed for the rehearse advert, most of the scenes were cut shot for some reason and this confused me alot as I made sure to stop filming about 2 seconds after Prinul stopped so leave a bit of time encase something happened but they were all cut short so much so that a couple of the video even finished mid sentence. To combat this next week we are going to re-film the shots more than once so that if this happens again we have lots of different versions to use.

To be done by next week

The length of the trip from Goodmayes to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

By next Sunday, I plan on getting all the filming done which Prinul and I have scheduled to film, Hopefully we will be setting out to film in Stratford, on Wednesday as this is the best day for both him and I to film, as I will be away during the weekend till late Monday night and He has his own plans. We plan to head to Stratford and film the first attempt near Queen Elizabeth Olympic park and then walk around the area to film different attempts at it so that we can have lots of different shots and angles to choose from when making the actual advert. We hope to be able to film the advert through-out at least 3 times with different angles each time so that we can then select the best version of the different locations so that we can mix and match to make the advert seem realistic and amateur as to make the audience think that its better because they can almost see themselves filming it but we still want it to look professional.

The last Olympic games holders

The reason that we chose to film near Queen Elizabeth Olympic park is because it looks really cool and nice and peaceful, and is iconic in terms of the Olympic games seeing as London held the games 3 years ago.
