Bristol Planning/Research

Equipment Needed;
1. A camera (own my own)
2. A tripod (need to talk to technician)
3. A SD Card (own my own)
4. Camera battery charger (own my own)

Locations

Clifton Bridge

Clifton Area

Observatory

All of these locations are within 15 minutes travel of the hostel we are staying in so they are easily accessible and we are going to be in the clifton area for the majority of our filming, we are going to close up filming of the bridge and the area and then use the observatory as a high point to get long, establishing shots of the area and the city itself. This will give us plenty of view points and attractive shots of the clifton area of bristol and hopefully make our video appealing and enticing and will encourage people to come.

Group Planning

This was our group planning board where we decided what group was going to film in what location and what each of us needed and the roles each of our groups would take. In our group we are taking on the Clifton area and Leah is our camera handler, Connie is our director and I am the safety and technology person.










Storyboard (I really can't draw so I'm relying more on explanation, sorry your eyes have to see this)

Clifton Bridge

 Using a tripod and camera we are going to go to a viewpoint where you can see the whole of the bridge and do a zoom/focus of the bridge, this will show the span of the bridge, highlight its magnificence against the scenery. (10 secs)

 Using a hand-held camera we are going to drive down the bridge, this is to give a perspective shot of the bridge and to entice other people to come and see it. (30 secs)

A close up shot of a pillar of the bridge with the suspension, this is a good shot to get in as it shows the structure of the bridge itself. (10 secs)









Observatory

A close up shot of the observatory with a reverse dolly of the people in front of it to add a bit of flair to the video.

A far away shot of the observatory to establish the building itself, it will be a panning shot of the observatory and then moving onto the bridge to show how close together they are.









Clifton Area

This is a shot of the houses within clifton, its known as a posh area and all of the houses are very grand and some of them have some history behind them.

This will be a shot of a park within clifton to show the communal areas of the area, it will be a panning shot from end of the park to the other.













Travelling to Bristol

This evidence of my different ideas and research into the travel to Bristol, Megabus seems to be the most cost effective and time-efficient way of travelling there after comparing a number of different methods.

Overall 

We aim to show a more rural, historical side to Bristol while also highlighting its greatest assets, such as the bridge and the observatory while also showing some lesser known places and making use of the picturesque setting and aesthetics of Bristol. We are aiming our video towards those who are more interested in sight-seeing and historically inclined people.

Promotional videos tend to have a sole focus point and tend to be zoomed in, constantly zooming in on the thing that they are promoting, the music used tends to be upbeat and positive to
