Useful archive of stock footage, clips and stuff.

Aren't some people on the internet generous? Check out the clip archive below. It has lots of downloadable stock footage, FX and backgrounds.


Obviously, in terms of your productions you have to use others' footage in a creative or limited way but have a look and see if there is anything useful to you.

Booking equipment over the holiday - MUST READ!

If you plan to film over the half term and are booking equipment, please note the following:


1. All equipment bookings must be made by Thursday night - you cannot book the equipment for the whole of half term. Go for two day slots and if someone else books it before you it is their responsibility to get the equipment to you and your responsibility to get it to the next person - I will provide details of who and when. If by Thursday night the equipment you want is available for the holiday then you can book for the entire week. Ensure that any equipment passed on is complete, fully charged and ready for them to use.


2. If booking for the half-term you need to make a day time booking and this will also be for the evening of that day.


3. Any equipment to be borrowed or returned on PRD days needs to be returned/borrowed between 12.30-3.30 on Thursday and from 11.00-13.00 on the Friday. The rest of the time I have appointments.

Production stage - what research and planning you could/should be doing

Right, we are heading into the really busy bit! Don't neglect your blogs though. Everything you post will go towards your research and planning mark, will help me and the external examiner understand your thought processes and also-if you are doing the work anyway, you should be rewarded/credited for it and to do that you need to evidence it. There are some easy wins here!


So here's a quick ten things to blog about


1. Any discussions (group chats - edited where necessary - etc) about your film project.
2. Copy of your risk assessment
3. Copy of your storyboard
4. Copy of your shooting schedule
5. Works in progress - get some photos of the filming/editing process, rough drafts etc
6. Audience feedback. If you complete one sequence or part - get some audience feedback on what have you come
7. Reflections on the shoot. What went well? What didn't? What problems have you faced and how have you overcome these? Either record yourself talking about this or write it down.
8. Embed any YouTube instructional videos with or thriller openings which include camera shots or techniques.
9. Before/during shooting - get some extra photos on your phone. Blog about the stylistic influences you have gone for, explain your mise-en-scene choices etc
10. Location scouting: photos/reporting/any changes you have had to make and why.


Remember - your blog should be a well-written, visually interesting scrapbook documenting your music video (ahem) journey from June until now. It should be organised and sophisticated but that does not mean you have to pretend to be invincible: ideas go wrong, change etc...it is good to reflect on these as this is the learning process.


You can continue to blog all the way up to the evaluation deadline but it is much better and more meaningful to blog-as-you-go!


Make sure you organise your blog into sections.


Once again, don't neglect the blog.

Equipment booking - MUST READ

Please ensure that if you are intending to book equipment for the weekend that you book it for Saturday even though you will obviously collect it on Friday.
