Meeting with Veera for the clarification of the studio 1 workshop

Here are some issues and info raised by Veera during the meeting on

date: 29/10/09.

Location: Round tables at the South area of the school library

Time: 430 pm

1) There are certain limitations to the Studio 1. There have no white screen. Therefore the best choice is either to shoot in the blue or green skin. Editing by using after effects will help us achieve the black and white format.

2) The green skin which is available in Studio 1 is only a 180-degree arc therefore we have to ensure that the camera doesn't exceed the arc. However there are movable greenskin extensions to help us cover that up.

3) There will be green or blue floormat provided for us.

4) If we decide to shoot in black and white we have to take certain things into considerations.

- lightings

- set/props

- outfits

5) It is better to shoot on a P2 HD camera, because shooting by DVX will result in not enough camera space.

6) There will be dolly tracks and roving cam provided for us.

7) In terms of props white stools and 2 white sofas are available for us.

8) NONE of the talents/props/crew should be allowed to wear the colour of screen.

9) We should conduct a test shot before starting on the real shoot. This is to ensure that we save time as we won't have to solve problems while we were doing the actual shoot.

10) Since we are recording in black and white we need to use lightings for contrast. (shadow)

11) After the test shoot we should play the video on different screens such as the laptop or even the lcd screen. This is because the lcd screen is meant for 16:9.

12) Storyboarding is very essential and important for planning the shots of music video. This is because we need to plan to make full use of a certain camera shot to shoot all the different scenes within it.

Rest assured the workshop will be held next tuesday at studio 1 from 430pm til 6pm. Be there guys!
