Make sure we wear gloves and protective clothing at all times when handling hot lighting equipment.
 
We will always fully charge our camera battery overnight so we have its full use each day whilst also having a fully charged back up.
 
We will tape down all loose wires with black tape to minimise trip.
 
We will shoot any tracking or moving shot we do multiple times so we can choose the best one, also when we are filming we will try and find ways to minimise shaking and unsteadiness.
 
As we will be shooting parts of our scene in a recording studio there will be expensive equipment around us which we need to constantly be aware of, so before we shoot we will make sure everyone knows where these are so they can take the necessary precautions when moving around them.
 
One of our actors will be riding a motorbike, they have a license however they still need to be careful when driving to avoid dangerous accidents.

Bruv I was trying to sort out the show for next Saturday, making sure the feds aren’t going to shut it down this time.
S
Word they take us for mugs, do I look like a mug or something?
(Laughter)
M
Kind of to be honest, but any way yeah they can’t be doing that again cause if the Beatles was performing there they wouldn’t shut it down so they don’t have any excuses this time.

Alright calm come.

Costume and Prop Research

Costumes

Criminals-

The three masked men will be wearing balaclavas and all black attire to relate to criminals and villains, also to show they have power and dominance over the other characters. You will not be able to see their face as they are made to be mysterious and dangerous.                  




Rapper-
The artist in the opening sequence will be wearing a red jacket to show energy and boldness. Also the blue jeans show strength and that he is dependable.         




Producer-
 The producer will also be wearing blue jeans but also a blue jumper to show that he is very trust worthy and dependable but black shoes to show he has got power over the artist (as most producers do).




Friend-
The friend will be wearing a casual tracksuit to show he is more laid-back and just trying to enjoy himself. The tracksuit will be black to show he is sleek and cool.    


Props

Gun-
A fake gun will be used as these are commonly used in action films.
Baseball Bat-
A baseball bat will be used as a weapon by one of the masked men as these are known to be intimidating when used in a violent manor. 
Gun-
Another fake gun will be used by one of the masked men to show dominance and to threaten them. 
Money-
A lot of fake money will be shown in the opening sequence to portray how the artist has made money from music but also when the group rob a corner shop.
