Multi Camera Productions - studio layout

The screen shot above shows the studio floor plan for my Multi camera Production Video for the Ufilms Oscars Rundown.
 behind the to chairs there is the green screen/the black curtain. In between the chairs there was a Oscar statue. Since there was only one Presenter on my rundown video all three Cameras and all three lights were focussed on me, only they weren't as clustered together as shown on the screen cap. that was only done so they could be identified

Unit 4 creative Media PMP Task 1 I & J

Potential Production constraints and how to counter them

The Potential Constraints of the production are:

• Scheduling - The Cast and Crew and the equipment would be required for the other PMP's
• Location - I may not be able to get access to my intended filming locations on the filming days
• Weather - The weather forecast of the filming days could be inaccurate and instead of it being sunny or slightly clouded, it could be torrentially raining.

how to counter the constraints:

• Make sure you schedule the equipment, cast and crew as soon as you are available to.
• the same as scheduling if you do not make sure you have a back-up location prepared.
• always double check the weather forecast and bring water proof clothing to the location and water protectors for the equipment  

Unit 4 Creative media PMP task 1 F: chosen Idea

My chosen Idea for my Production Management Project (PMP) is to produce a remake of Rick Astley's "Never Going to Give you Up". The reason I have chosen it is because it is widely known and it is extremely light hearted. And considering the current political climate I thought that we could all use something a bit uplifting.
For my remake it will be slightly be inspired by Robbie Williams' "Candy" and "Misery" by Maroon 5.
For the remake I wanted to make the video slightly darker in tone. The story of the video is about a woman and a persistent suitor who the lady keeps turning him down repeatedly until she starts resorting to physical violence every time the bloke appears but he keeps coming back until she files a restraining order against him.


(Edit) since originally posting this it has been slightly retooled so that the female Character doesn't notice he male character after they bump into each other and in his attempts to meet up and ask her out on a date he injures himself in various comedic ways

Unit 4 Creative Media PMP task 1 E: idea Production Requirements

Now that I have Presented my Ideas for My PMP, I will now Describe what I believe their Production requirements will be.

The Star Wars Fan Film will be difficult to produce as it will require the most special effects in post production. it would be filmed of a beach so it would possibly depending on the weather cold and windy or hot, the equipment might get sand in them. to film the short I imagine it would take a week maximum but it would take the full five weeks to edit as the lightsabers would need to be rotoscoped frame by frame. which means it will take time the filming crew would need at least four crew members to film. and two people to edit the film. and at least 2 cast members.


The Mock Trailers will be easier then the short film but they will be difficult to produce mainly editing as well as scheduling the filming could get mixed with what trailer we were filming if we were to do all three mock trailers but if we were to do one it would be extremely easy. As I said the main problem with producing this idea is the scheduling as there are other people producing their own PMP's at the same time as me. The Preproduction would only need at least two people working on the paperwork. Four people to film it, Three or four cast members. and one or two people to edit the final product.


The first Music Video the remake of "A Kiss from a Rose" by Seal would be fairly simple to produce compared to the two previous ideas. For pre-production it would need only one or two people a maximum of three. To film it would take three or four people to film. Only one cast member and to edit it would only take 2 people. the main constraint I would have in Producing the music video is the scheduling and the timing and a potential constraint is also the location and the environment of said location.


The second Music video is a remake of Rick Astley's "Never going to give you up." like the remake of the other music video this would also be fairly simple to produce compared to the first two ideas. It would require the same amount of crew to produce the music video but it would need at least 2 cast members and in comparison it would be more light hearted then the other music video remake. it would also have similar constraints like the other music video.


The Largest Potential constraint about the PMP is the weather. most weather forecasts are roughly  only 75%  accurate
