Problem Solving

I came across a number of problems when designing and filming my music video. I then had to think fast and find a way to continue by solving the problems I had. in my design stage after creating my storyboard I realised that when I created my animatic I was short of shots and frames by around 20 seconds. I had to create new frames and add them in, also I re used some shots again that were possible to use again and make sense. By adapting to the problem I had, I was now able to create the right length of of frames to fit my animatic story board.

When I started to film my video I realised that there were some shots that I thought of that might not work. For example when I tried to film the shot of a table being inside to panning upwards towards the sky and falling back down to the table being outside, I found that there was no way for me to do this as the shot would have to take precise movement of the camera when panning upwards, this collided with the fact that I would also have to be acting, therefore this shot was unable to be used and I had to re-adapt the story but still keep the meaning of this scene.

There was also a problem with my actress Jessica Norris, as she is part of her own group designing her music video, I had to create a schedule around her work. As her priority's lied with her group I worked out a solution to my problem, I filmed as much as I could without her and left the parts to be done with her until she was comfortable and available with my given times.
