Filming

Thursday 13th December 2012

Today was our first day of filming and unfortunately, we wasn't able to use our original location which was Parsloes Park because it was raining during the hours we all planned to meet and film.  Consequently, we managed to film the climax of our music video in the music room.This went well because we used all of the props that we planned to use and also had a band involved in the video as a bonus which made it look more realistic. However, we felt as though we needed more energy from our actor. The lack of energy is understandable because there were other people besides our group watching him perform, which may have made him feel uncomfortable and a bit nervous although he said he weren't. Therefore by just our group being there tomorrow, we hope to get more enthusiasm from him when filming the rest of the track, especially at the chorus where it consists of yelling.

Today was our second day of filming. I feel as though today was good because we managed to get a lot more things done such as filming the rest of our music video using the second location that we planned. It seems that our actor was more enthusiastic and energetic and I took part in a few shots of the music video which the group and I thought may be of good use to it.  However, the downside of today is that the camera took quite long to focus as a result of the lens being quite dirty. This made some of our footage blurry; nevertheless, this is why we chose to film a couple of days before the deadline, in circumstances like this where we may need to re-do some of the shots.
