Filming Dairy

24th October 2012

Today we filmed the girls scenes at her house. Throughout the filming we had no problems or concerns and collected plenty of footage which we can choose from when editing our piece together.

Today we returned to my sisters house to film as there were some scenes that, when looking back at our footage, could be improved and included other shots. Due to us forgetting the tripod we had to make sure the person recording and handling the camera had a steady hand or placed it on a steady surface to prevent the footage being jerky and unprofessional

Today we filmed the scene for the first chorus of which the girl was focussed on. We took a variety of shots and decided to use a camera to take snapshots of me and my friend who were taking part in the video to look like we had been in a photo booth. I thought this would be a good idea to use in our video as we could make a collage out of them and use other editing techniques to preview a quick slideshow of the images.

Today we filmed the final bits of footage that needed to be recorded outside. This included the boys verses and chorus and the grand finale of the firework show. Due to not having a tripod it was hard for us to keep a steady hand on some shots, however we manage to use furniture such as tables to keep the camera steady. The hardest part of the day was filing the firework scene as the event was only on for one night so we only had one chance on getting the filming right. We got some decent shots where the rides were due to the bright lights in the background which added a good effect to our footage. The firework display took the most time, effort and and skill as we couldn't record the fireworks after the display so we only had one chance on getting it right. Luckily we got some good shots of the display which we can include.

Today we were supposed to go to the other firework show according to our calendar, however due to not being able to get transport there and back and some of the cast not being able to make it due to more important plans that had to be made, we didnt get the opportunity to, however during the week back we are planning on going back to Seaton to record more scenes in the arcades to add more to our clips for us to chose from.

Today we travelled to the town centre to finish the filming for our music video. However we were told that we couldn't film within the shopping centre premises and so had to change our ideas slightly and film outside. Luckilly the data we gathered managed to turn out successful and would be relavent to include in our music video.

12th December 2012

Today we had to film parts of the first verse again. The recording was successful however when it came to putting the data onto the computer we couldn't find it anywhere and so due to this we had to arrange to re-film those sequences at a later date before Monday. It has been decided that we will film the scenes again at the weekend.

15th December 2012

Today we finished off the final filming that we failed to find on Wednesday. We managed to gather enough footage to include in our music video and made sure we had considered everything we wanted to include in our music video to make sure we hadn't left anything out as this was our last chance to film. Luckilly the re-filming only took just over an hour which meant Jonny could check through the footage and get started to include them in the music video as soon as possible.
