Planning for preliminary task

We all practised lip syncing before the real filming and this was done in small groups where we all tried lip syncing together, this helped us to learn how to lip sync to the music with making it realistic and we did this in small groups. We then uploaded it onto youtube and the clip is shown below. After we did this we looked at the Busted video, I had to look at the Busted video in order to know what stages had to be done in the filming process, this was so I could see each step of the filming. I looked at the busted video on youtube and I paused at each clip and wrote down the clip number, length of the shot, what happened, the camera angle and drew sketches of what had been done, so it was easier to visualise. There was a total of 36 clips and after I then filled out another sheet where I could put together all the shots that could be filmed at the same time to make it quicker e.g. Charlie singing in the classroom, these could all be filmed at the same time as it would make it quicker and mean that the filming would be easier. For all of the clips I also worked out all the props and equipment that would be needed to ensure the production process would work, which helped us as we could tell people what do bring depending on their roles. We then worked out who would play the characters and this was done by choosing the best people at lip syncing. From doing this I learnt that planning has a key role in the production process as it makes you more organised and it helps plan the timing better in order to save time when filming different sections.
