I am likely to face lighting issues during production, however I am not going to face any sound issues at all in the process. This is because the only sound I am using is from a soundtrack. This can then be uploaded onto Final Cut Pro ready to edit and put on top of the video in another layer. This will show in a green box with the sound waves, I can adjust the volume to my liking.
The lighting issues that I may face in natural lighting include that if it is a cloudy day, the brightness of the shots I take will change and I cannot prevent this. This makes it more complicated in post-production and prolongs this process as I will need to adjust the brightness, saturation and contrast of each shot. To prevent this I will check the weather repeatedly before going out to shoot, however if every day is cloudy there is nothing I can do apart from the above editing conclusion as I must get the filming done - then I can move onto post-production. Luckily I can get hold of a three point lighting system to use indoors to make the shots more crisp, brighter and more professional looking.
Below is an image I have taken to show how my shots indoors will look using the three point lighting. However I will re-arrange the lights to fit the purpose of each shot so there isn’t too much oncoming light from the left hand side.
I have decided to choose two outfits for my characters as most music videos show the characters wearing different costumes and having different looks. Because my video is of the indie genre I have chosen casual outfits where the characters are dressed appropriate for their age and are pretty natural looking.
Weather Forecast
- Above I have highlighted the days of which I am filming on a monthly weather forecast for Barton Upon Humber. On the 10th I filmed from the inside of a car at night so there are no weather implications. Below is a screenshot of the time-lapse of which I set the camera so that there was a blurred focus. This makes it unable for the audience to establish where this location is.
The weather on the 16th is 7 degrees Celsius. The weather is also beneficial as although it is quite cold it is a clear day. Unfortunately on the day of the final shooting, which has been moved from the 25th to the 28th (which I will explain further on), the weather forecast is showers of rain and snow. I only need to film outside for half an hour so hopefully by having a friend to help drive us the equipment won’t get water damaged. Filming in the evening will effect the quality of the shots however it is the tragic part of the film therefore if the mood is dull it works well with the narrative. I can also edit the contrast, exposure and more in post-production. It will also be in the evening so it might not be raining at this time, I will check a more detailed hourly forecast on the day. The rest of the filming of this date is inside, as is the 17th, therefore I do not need to worry about the weather at these times.The only date that has been rescheduled is the 25th, I am getting the final footage on Sunday the 28th. This is because it is the weekend so I have more time to prepare equipment and my actress who agreed she will be available.
Shooting Schedule
I have chosen these dates to fit mine and my actors schedules. I plan to buy the props I don’t already have on the 24th so that I can film the scenes where they are needed on the 25th. I’m also filming on the 16th because it is during half term and many of the other days my actors are unavailable. On the 17th my male actor was available all day so it meant that I could take my time and all of the shots are for the inside, present day scenes. The 10th is the date I travelled to a university so I found it useful to film during this journey to benefit financiallu and economically.
