Day 1 -Filming

Day 1

Today we have filmed our band miming to the lyrics of our song, most of this is when the band are singing. we arrived at our venue at 9.00 and started to set up. We used lamps underneath each member to make them stand out, we also used three-point lighting to try and create the perfect light for the band and enabled us to control direct lighting that creates unwanted shadows.

We played the song through speakers, this meant the miming was easier to follow. We placed the camera in 10 different places so that in the editing process we had enough camera angles to show, some of these shots  included:  low to high, mid shot, close up, long shot, a swoop shot and an over the shoulder shot.

The weather didn't have an effect on today's filming because we used a music venue that was indoors.

Day 2 -Filming

Day 2

Today we filmed the next third of our video, this included mostly outdoor shots. We had a slight problem today, which was that the weather was unpredictable; meaning we had to be on guard for any change that would be obvious in our video. We improvised on some of the props that we used, below is one of the sets; a computer chair that we used for the swooping shot, as you can see there are block paving on the ground which meant we had to film numerous shots to get the overall effect we wanted, and to try and minimise any obvious slanting in our final video

Today we also filmed the first few inside shots, like yesterday we used three point lighting, to try and minimise direct light that creates unwanted shadows. We also controlled natural light with curtains and turned all ceiling lights off, to make sure we could control the light to the best of our ability.



As you can see i had to get into some arquard positions to gets the shots i wanted and planned for. ( above me on the top of my fridge )

Day 3 - Filming

Day 3

Today we filmed the school and car scenes, as well as the close up shots of Josh's face so that we can appeal to females.

Lighting was key in this close up shot to show and emphasise Josh's facial features, overall i feel these three days of filming have been very successfull and on time with my predictions on the timetable.

Timetable

We came to the idea that we should make a timetable for our project, this is going to help us keep on track and focused. Below is the table i made for our project. I used windows software to create it and also added to some columns throughout each day.
