We're going to need some equipment and areas to film our advert and for this, we can find information on the internet.
To start off, we're going to need some technical equipment such as cameras, tripods, possibly boom mic's and maybe a pair of headphones.
I found a website that offers a very big variety of camera rentals: http://www.hireacamera.com/en-gb/motion/cameras/
Hiring a decent camera from the website would cost us £44.10 for only one day, the tripod would cost £7.20, the microphone would cost £9.60 and since we already have headphones they wouldn't cost anything. This totals up to £60.90 split between 4 people.
The shooting shouldn't take more than a day since we already have the basic idea planned out and we know what we're going to be using in the scenes.
Filming Locations
We were thinking that since we're going to be making a mess with food and stuff that we would do it inside in the kitchen where it would be easier to clean up, rather than make a mess outside and ruin an area of a park or garden.
Since we're going to be filming inside in a kitchen we decided to use someone's house who has a kitchen with no nearby carpeted flooring. Jess offered to let us use her kitchen for filming, so we'll need to be careful when filming not too ruin anything too much. If we end up not being able to do this, then we can just film in Central Park where there's loads of space and we wouldn't be interrupting anyone.
The park is literally outside of the Robert Clack upper site so we would just walk there, but we would take a bus to get to Jess' house as it's further away.
The only problems we would encounter when filming in Central Park is the gusts of wind, so we'd need to find a way to cover the microphone from the wind, and the weather in case there are random changes in weather and it goes from sun to rain in which case we would need to choose a day that would be safe to film outside on.
Actors and Actresses
It doesn't matter who we use for the advert, we just need someone to record from their perspective of what they are doing or someone to just stand in front of the camera and mess their milkshakes up before placing our product down on the table.
We already work in a group so we have enough people. If we need any more then we can always ask our friends who would be willing to help us out.
We're just going to use the group the is going to make this advert and also our friends, so they wouldn't be paid because there is no need to do so, but if we were going to use someone famous for our advert, we might need to pay them for the work that they did for us.
We aren't planning on using the any populated public scenes so we wouldn't need to use a disclaimer and get their permission to use them in the video.
Costumes and Props
We might need to dress up in washable casual clothes with possibly an apron, just casual clothes or if we're going to use the PoV camera then it might get a bit personal and just have our legs showing for comedic purposes. But that would only happen if we are planning on completely following how HowToBasic creates his videos.
I'm not sure if we all have aprons, so if we don't we'll just go to a shop that sells them such as B&M, for example. As for other items, we'll just look for them on the internet and decide on where to get them if we need them. We might need to get disposable plastic cups and paper plates from somewhere like Hobbycraft or B&M as well.
Most likely in the house closest to where we are filming, or we might take our own props and clothing back home with us.
I think we'd spend a maximum of £60 each on clothing and props for the advert. We don't all have too much money so we'd need to share it out between us sometimes if something is too expensive.
