Lip Syncing exercise: Research and Planning

Creating a time plan helped to assess how long it will take to produce the video which then meant that we could get it done within a reasonable amount of time. We planned what we would get done in each lesson and thought about how long each step of the task would take and divided it out so that we could get it done within the time that we had, this allowed us to prepare and plan what we needed to bring to each lesson and therefore allowed us to keep organised throughout.

We created a time line of the shots that showed the order of the shots and roughly how long they were. We numbered each shot so that when it came to editing we could easily refer to which shot and therefore put to video together without getting the order mixed up, this saved a lot of time and also a lot of confusion. Another way we saved time was by planning the order in which we were going to shoot each shot, this meant that when filming following the order that we had produced was less time consuming than filming the shot in the order of the video.

We also created a health and safety list of things that could create potential hazards and explained how we would deal with them. Health and safety is very important in the industry so we wanted to mimic this idea of ensuring that everyone involved is safe and that all potential hazards are dealt with.

In the final task I expect to be planning in a similar way to this task but with a lot more depth and accuracy. I will need to produce:
- detailed research of what I want the video to look like- plan of where I will be shooting the video
- time line of the order the shots will be featured in the final product
- time line of the order I will film the shots
- time plan showing what I will do and when to ensure I finish the task on time
- health and safety report with what potential hazards there may be and how they will be dealt with
- plan of who will be in the video and what they will be doing
- costume plan (including props) of everyone featuring in the video
- plan of all equipment needed and where I will get it
