Planning For The Bike Video

The idea to film the bike scene was going to take a lot of planning before we actually filmed anything. The first task was to actually get our hands on a bike. We managed to get our hands on a Raleigh bike which is a Nottingham based company and we felt this would fit in well with the whole Nottingham loves theme. So before filming on Friday we needed to make sure that we got the recces sorted for the shots that we wanted and the route for filming was going to be planned out properly. As well as doing the reece for our shoot i had to do the risk assessment to make sure everything will be safe whilst we are filming.


This is the bike we will be filming with:

Tuesday we went out and did a few reece shots around Nottingham and these are some of the pics that we took. This was a great chance as a team for us to get an idea of the kind of shots we wanted and this allowed to us work a storyboard and it helped us get an idea of the locations we wanted to use

Yesterday me Charlie and Max used the go pro for some practice shots so we could decide which shot would look best and these are the two shots we felt would look best. The first shot is the go pro at the back of the bike. The second shot is a chest shot which we think looked good because the beauty of the go pro is that it gives you a brilliant point of view shot. It shows what it would be like filming around the Nottingham area.

So now we can start planning a route for Max. We have made the choice that we want him to dress smartly so we will have him slick his hair back. And he will be wearing a blazer, smart shoes and skinny jeans to fit in with the fashionable Paul Smith
