Production Group: 1st Meeting

 My Production Group

The group (Left to right) Phoebe Wright, Simone Murphy, Victor Cliff, Me.

Today I was put into my new production group, these are the other students that I will be working with to create a music video, digipak, and website. 

In this, the first group meeting we went through each of our three ideas and voted on the group's favourite out of each member's three, leaving us with four of the strongest ideas out of twelve.

Out of my three Ideas the group selected my favourite idea, "The day is my enemy" Rave/gang concept.

Out of Victor's three ideas we as a group liked his boxing idea the most, Phoebe's cinematic piano idea, and Simy's 60's bar idea. We talked for 15 minutes about each of the chosen ideas - seeing where each idea could lead to and what we did/didn't like about the ideas. To discuss our opinions on each of the ideas we used A3 pieces of paper and sticky notes to visually express our thoughts, if anyone had an idea or an opinion they would simply slap a sticky note on the piece of paper as documentation.

Key points about each idea:


PIANO:

- Could be very cinematic 

- basic concept makes for more time spent on making each shot look good

- Difficult to transport piano to different locations

- Picture settings at twilight - limited shoot time - would look bad if was shot on a cloudy day 

- could potentially be boring for viewer

60's BAR

- again could be very cinematic

- stylish and exciting to watch 

- difficult to find actors that look the right age to hang out in bars

- difficult to make bar look like a 60's american bar

- costume could potentially be very expensive

RAVE 

- Could be very empowering 
- Could be stylised 
- difficult to film fight scene
- cinematic
- difficult to film rave scene, but if done right could look very good
- easy to cast
- funny and empowering

BOXING

-Boxing ring could be constructed in the studio and the fight itself could be very stylised
- wouldn't use cheesy rock song
- would perhaps make fight comical 
- would incorporate a narrative as well as fight
- May be difficult to film fight well, but if done effectively it could look great  (like rave scene in my idea)
