Any thing else:
I will also need to think about weather conditions while filming outside. I will be using a pool for some of the filming therefore I will need to make sure everyone involved has warm clothing incase they get cold.

For when I am filiming using cars I need to have the people in the shots to sign a health and saftey form to say that they give their permission to act in a car

Risk Assessment What are the potential hazards and how will they be resolved? The Car
Whilst filming	Make sure that the person driving is fully concentrating on where to go and that the camera or tripod is not in the way.
The Tripod	Make sure that when or when not using the camera that it is not a tripping hazard and is only where it is essential to be for the filming.
Downstairs of house
Ornaments	Remove all breakable and valuable ornaments or objects from the room and place in a locked room.
Tripod	Make sure no-one walks past and knocks it over – we will do this by placing the camera in a part of the room that no-one should be allowed walk into.
School Auditorium
Chairs & tables	Make sure they are out of the way so they do no become a tripping hazard and make sure they are not in the shot.
Mats	Move all mats to the side of the room to stop them forming a tripping hazard
Lighting equipment (when lowered)	Make sure there are no objects (camera and tripod) or people underneath them while they are being lowered. Also when moving the lights into position, make sure they are not too hot to touch, if they are then use a cloth to touch them.

I understand that any action I do that changes the desired outcome of these hazards is of my own doing and can do nothing about it.

Storyboard Plan

Story Board Planning

Saturday Night

This first page is approximately 10 seconds long, the part of the song that goes with it is entirely instrumental. I plan to have clips of the band performing, the members on their own performing, with one or two clips of the fans watching the webcam show.

This second page as about 4 more seconds of instrumental with clips of the band and party.

The other 8 seconds will be clips of the narrative, such as with the line 'when my parents outta town' will be a clip of the parents driving of, away from the house with the son standing in the doorway waving smugly goodbye.

With this page there will be a mixture of driving, picking up people and images of scenes at a party.
There will be a mixture of close-ups medium shots, and a fish eye effect on one or two of the clips.

 This page has a mixture of fish eye effect, tracking shot, zooms and pans.
The clips will rang from the band performing to party scenes and clips from by a pool.

 Zooms, Close-ups pans, and long shots will be use with this page. An extreme close up of someone about to throw up, will be used with the line '...and if somebody's feeling sick...'

The beginning of these clips will be a carry on from the last of the previous page where their racing to '...get 'em in the garden quick...'

zooms, areial shots, pans, long and wide shots will be used within these 10 seconds.

The first couple of clips with this page are from the chorus. 

A mixture of the band, individual members, party and clips linked to the party.

This shots will consist of close-ups, following shots, pans, zido/virticol and long shots.

Planning

After Deciding on a song, I started to breakdown the song into about 2 second gaps, where I thought of what to do at each stage.

Once I had made this timeline I took screen shots of each postit note and compiled them into a video last about the same amount of time as the actuall song, using pans and zooms that I thought I could use for that specific shot.
