Overall - I am super happy with the outcome for the project. I think both the still and moving content is strong and in my opinion looks legitimate. I also think i have created content that fits to the target audience and the message this album wants to portray to its listeners.
The prep side of this project was very important. Producing and working alongside DOP Henry Gill - I learnt alot about film and all the important factors that they have - which as photographers you may not have - creating storyboards and kit lists for days.
I had problems finding suitable locations for reasonable price - but I stuck it out and contacted EVERY PLACE in London and in the end Islington Boxing Club was incredible.
Since the start the whole concept and message adapted which meant castings etc had to adjust.
The shoot day went extremely smooth - everyone was extremely professional. We stuck to timings very well, but still had fun and had a good time on set. In terms of direction - as I am used to directing fashion, i felt quite comfortable in their role. I knew what I wanted from the subject and the message and image i wanted her to portray so I enjoyed doing this.
The editing process again was very smooth - I worked with editor Monique Farkas who I have worked with before. She is extremely talented and works very efficiently. I sat with her for 2 days straight and we did the edit and colour grade.
Graphics part - this is really not my forte. I dont have a very good eye when its come to graphics nor do i know the software to use it. So i collabrated with graphic student josh welch - i wanted very simple but still look professional and legitmate. So did research of other posters and CDS to see how they look.
The printing process wasnt extremley smooth sailing - we had to learn how to use the UV printer in uni but after we booked a session and learnt from the technican we got the hang of it. Plus i wasnt sure where to print the booklet - i was looking online and was being quoted 50 - 60 pounds plus for 1 booklet. However in the end i found a place i had used a couple of years ago called mixam which was really good and happy with the quality.
overall challanges i faced :
finding a boxing location for a reasonable price
filling 90 seconds ( we did a 40 second cut which i think works much better for the pace of the video)
what would i do differently:
- remember to think that when a video is going to be cut extremly quick that you want ALOTTT of footage to fill 90 seconds.
-possibly could of brought in a set designer to help with the location
- sound designer so i could share it
