Linked production tutorial


Linked production tutorial
  • Clear brief for an achievable production. Basic concept is very good and fits critical investigations well.
  • Shooting schedule is ambitious but building in time to re-shoot or re-edit is wise. The standard demanded for the A2 production is extremely high.
  • No pre-production documents on blog – this is very concerning. It’s vital you have these elsewhere – there’s no way you’ll produce a professional-quality music video without a full treatment and shot list. Mise-en-scene planning is briefly outlined but again for a professional production I’d expect a lot more – the locations are vague, where exactly will you film in Camden? How do you make it look urban and authentic rather than a London tourist video? I hope you’ve scouted locations and taken photos on your phone to establish exactly what will be filmed where.
  • The lack of a treatment means I can’t tell if this will focus on narrative or performance – or both. If it’s narrative-based, you need to plan this meticulously to ensure the story is communicated clearly and that it maintains the engagement of the audience. What audience pleasures are you providing here?
  • Post these tutorial notes to your MEST4 coursework blog as a new blogpost.
  • Post any missing planning and research to your blog urgently. Check the quality of this planning is sufficient to reach the ‘approaching professional standards’ requirement of the Linked Production mark scheme.
  • The rough cut deadline is Wednesday 22 March – make sure you are on track to meet this deadline.
  • After pasting these notes in your blogpost, write a numbered list of THREE things you will do in the next 7 days in order to move your Linked Production project to the next level.
  1. Film at at least one more of our scouted locations for the video
  2. Get through the editing of all of the footage accumulated on Sunday
  3. Finalise all of the planning like the shot list and treatment for the video and upload it to blog
