List of potential problems and solutions- filming our music video

1. List of potential problems and
solutions

2. • Having all the correct equipment for
filming and editing
- Make a list of equipment and props that
will be needed for filming and editing and
ensure that we have everything before
we start and also when we finish. This
leads on to another problem of misplacing
equipment. This can be solved by
marking equipment with names and
ensuring we have each piece on the list.

3. • Returning borrowed equipment late
- This can be solved by finding out a
final date which the equipment needs
to be returned by. For example the
tripod will need to be returned to the
school on/by a specific date.

4. • Not having enough footage
- Not having enough footage can mean that
the music video may not look complete or
professional. The solution to this problem
is to film more footage than we need in
the case of other shots not fitting in with
the film. We also need to ensure that we
film shots more than once and from
different angles which will give us more
variation.

5. • Timing of actors and group members
- The timing and availability of the
people involved in the filming of the
music video is important as it effects
the amount of filming that can be done,
which shots can be filmed and also
getting the music video filmed and
edited before the deadline date.

6. • Each member having equal roles in
filming and editing
- Ensuring that each member of the
group has a role in the filming and
editing of the music video is important
as it means that everyone has
contributed towards the final product.
Each member should do equal amounts
of work towards the final music video
and this can be done by making a
schedule for editing time and filming.

7. • Weather
- The weather is a possible problem for
the process of creating our music video
as it can delay the filming or cause the
footage to look different as it may be
lighter or darker lighting on some days
compared to others. The solution to this
problem is to try and film as much as
possible on one day and also plan ahead
for which days would be best for filming,
regarding the weather.

8. • Poor lighting
- Poor lighting can effect the filming of
the music video as it can cause shots
to look unprofessional and also create
a different mood of the video. For
example if the shot is too dark it may
make the video seem gloomy.
The solution to this problem is making
sure that we film in sufficient lighting
at the correct time of day.

9. • Shaky camera
- A shaky camera can cause the shots to
look unprofessional and also seem like a
hand held camera. This can effect the
movement of the shot.
This problem can be overcome by
ensuring that still shots and moving shots
are filmed using a tripod to make sure
they are professional and not shaky.

10. • Preparation for the filming
- We need to ensure that all members
are prepared for the filming of the
music video. This can be done by
creating a story board, shot list,
location list, list of props and
equipment and also deciding
beforehand when we will be filming to
ensure everyone can attend.
