Filming- Friday 15th November

Finally! 
A successful filming session!
My artist turned up on time and performed really well although she had trouble with lyrics.
I had to print the lyrics off in big bold writing for her to read off of!
I can finally edit my footage! YAY!

Research and planning evaluation

For this evaluation I am going to reflect on the research and planning I have done so far. I will include how much my research and planning skills have improved from last years blog.

Filming- Wednesday 13th November

I have invited my artist to come into college today to film the lip singing part of my music video.

She didn't show up! so devastating because I want to start editing as soon as possible. Now I have to reschedule for either Friday or sometime next week which prolongs the process of my music video.

Fiming- Saturday 9th November

Today's filming was much more successful than Wednesdays!
We got a lot done and got the parts with the least narrative done (Park scenes)
Even though it rained all day the footage I got was good and now I have something to start of with and build on. I will be filming on Wednesday 13th November in the studio with my main artist (lip singing scenes) after that I will need to take pictures of both artists then I can edit!

Filming-Wednesday 6th November

Today I filmed and it went horribly wrong, the time I decided to film was too late as it is winter now which means it gets dark extremely quick and the lighting will not be good. This is exactly what happened to me and I filmed some of the lip singing in the worst yellow lighting ever which didn't give off the effect I wanted for my music video. I have thought of a different idea which is to film the lip singing parts in the studio which will give better lighting and a more professional feel to the video.

Recce

The park was the only location i got to use because i was not allowed to film in the other areas

Release forms

Talent

Location

As a result of the locations planned to film not replying to my emails, I decided to change locations and do some filming in the studio (performance based). I wanted to use a location where I could film romantic flashback scenes and I chose Alexandra park to do that. I went to Alexandra palace to see if I was able to film in the park area and was told yes I could film there but to make sure I didn't film near the ice rink.

 

 

After a while I got a reply from both venues:
Alexandra palace

Rowans bowling

After my last email to them I didn't get a reply therefore I did not use the locations.

Call sheets for music video

Storyboard

These are my storyboards- they show what will be happening in my music video scene by scene, flashbacks included on separate storyboard.
