BAND SCRIPT

As some of the footage from the first session with the band isn't enough to make up the time for the rest of the video, as well as some parts of it not being suited to the song we are going to film again on Sunday. To make our task simpler I have created a script purely for the band filming, which is a work in progress and will be added to later. This is the band footage that is in the script but without the narrative, stock or any other footage mixed in - this is so that whilst filming the band performing in time to the music we may see line by line aligned with the bullet points what shots we wanted to film for what lines.

This was created in order that we may save time during shooting the band. A copy was printed off and given to each member of the group to bring along with them for the shoot, and copies of the script were also given to band members in advance to ensure they'd be able to remember their lines in time.

October Half Term Group Timetable

FINAL SCRIPT


This is the final version of the script. I've added one more colour coded category of 'misc' for miscellaneous, and I have ordered the visuals on screen scripted parts in bullet points so that the first bullet point of on screen, should match the first bullet point of the lyrics. Each point correlates to each line of the lyrics. The stock footage chosen has also been cut down and changed as a result of group discussions and decisions e.g. instead of the charleston dance, we have decided to cut to only the most relevant clips such as a young girl crying with her handkerchief, a mother holding her children weeping and so on though we kept the footage of a ship leaving shore as it was a perfect example for the visuals to illustrate the lyrics. Some of the original stock was also cut and a decision was made to flick back and forth between clips of famous leaders in war time speaking, of Bush, Churchill and the band with some protests in between. This was a matter to be finally decided in editing however, but this is the final working script with which we could finally go and shoot the video with and begin editing afterwards.

4TH DRAFT SCRIPT - WORK IN PROGRESS


This script is entirely different to the 3rd draft. To organise it better and make things much clear, I have laid it all out in a table with different verses in different boxes aligned with the scripted footage in a box beside it. Overall the table is divided into three: 'time marks', 'lyrics', and whatever should be showing visually 'on screen'. I've colour coded the types of footage we will have, stock, band, and narrative so visually anything we're looking for is much quicker and easier to find. I've labelled the verses and checked the time marks of each verse as well as instrumental parts in order to better plan and time what footage should happen when. This will also be useful when doing the editing, both for cutting the clips as well as syncing it to the sound.
