Project: Music Video

N-Dubz: Shoulda Put Something On

SHORT FILM PROJECT UPDATE

Due to weeks of no progress in our group (me, yasbin & filipe), where Yasbin hadnt been coming in for weeks and still hadnt handed in her parts of pre-production and of Filipe missing lessons as well. So basically, my team members weren't as reliable as they should have been. For weeks, I was left on my own to do the work, so after discussion, Vanessa and I had come to the decision of moving me from one group to another group (Ashraf, Fahmida, Tahier) and we are now currently working on a music video for the song 'Ndubz - Should've put something on'.

 

This song is about sex and how now thanks to the guy for not putting anything on, the girl is now pregnant. Throughout the song, the guy tries persuading the girl to get an abortion but the girl disagrees and rebukes the thought of abortion as she says ''This is a part of me, I aint getting rid of sh*t, Don't blame me. You should've put something on'.

Rest of the days left for filming will be used as an extra time to go over each shoot and re-film any of the unwanted shots that needs changes, or to video some extra scene, just in case if something may be changed or added to the film.

 

To do this, we will use half-term and week after that as our left filming time. To do that we will have to go back to the places, where we shot all of our shoots.

PROGRESSION 2

So far, we havent been able to secure a booking at the venue. obviously, it is a wedding venue and the period of month we are at now, is one of the busier months for weddings. As a plan B, we have decided to shoot the wedding scene of our film at the college theatre. I have also seeked permission to film, and filming shall begin next week wednesday.

The problem with this is to check the specific actors availability and to see whether they can stay behin at college to film. Another problem is, we have lost the actor for the 'mum' character.
We wanted an actual older woman to play as the mum then it looks more proffessional and well thought out. We had the intention to film over half term, as the actor who is acting as bride had a relative who can speak english well and was also willing to act as 'Mum', had come from Brighton to stay in London over half term.

We couldn't film over half term due to the venue not getting back to us and their busy schedule, and now that the half term is over, the actor who was willing to act as Mum has returned to Brighton.
