Shooting schedule 
My group and I decided to shoot our film in Kennington park due to the fact that it was central and easily accessible for everyone and had the correct facilities ( e.g. a swing and various other forms of child entertainment ) to shoot a film based around children.
We planned to have the shooting completed within the space of 2 consecutive weekends however this did not happen due to factors such as bad weather ( we could not film during windy or wet weather due to the fact that the picture and sound would be unclear as well as the fact that we would damage the schools filming equipment), prior commitments ( one of the members of the group had already made plans to attend a family event and general miscommunication this meant that the process of recording took a lot longer than we had initially hoped and as a consequence, we had very little time to re-film any scenes that had to be re-shot for any reason and that was very risky because we had to do it regardless of the weather conditions so if it was raining heavily, the new scenes would not match the previously shot ones.

Animatic blog

After successfully completing the animatic task, and uploading it on our individual youtube accounts and blogs , We showed our work to our remaining classmates and our teacher  our plan and received the following feedback:

What went well 
-Everything included looked relevant and deliberate
-Good use of sound
-Good range of shot types and angles
-Shots were clearly marked out and were fit for purpose






What could be done better in order to improve the animatic 
-More clarity regarding exactly what will happen in the opening scene
-Review the fourth scene which was confusing
-Make certain scenes longer in order to add effect
-Match the beat of the song with the change in picture in order to add effect and collaborate the two.

MATCH SONG TO THE BEAT
Music video plan

-Plan to split locations between the house of the main  girl and kennington park due to the fact that they were the two joint most popular answers we received from our questionnaire.

-Plan to start getting prepared for the task as of this coming saturday

- These two locations are listed in the 'typical R&B' conventions list

-We chose to follow this convention because we wanted to allow our audience to clearly see the genre of the music rather than having to guess which genre it is which would draw their attention away from the music and the video itself.
