New Photo Shoot 

Change of location

We decided to change our location of filming it was previously meant to be filmed in greenwich park but we then decided to change location and tested it firstly in belvedere in a deserted road. We started to edit the footage we had when realising it was not the right footage that we wanted and it didn't portray our band image in the way we wanted to it also did not conform to any other conventions we had seen on a pop rock music video.


With that in mind we decided to transform our original idea keeping the performance element as the chorus however making the verses more of a documentary style footage of the band showing a bit more about there lives and who there are, exactly what fans want to see. We are shooting in Joely's house and going to film it hand held so it looks like a documentary style.

Editing

Edititng 

These are a few screen shots of the different shot types in our first chorus. We have edited it all together so that the lip syncing is in time with the words we have also put a lot of shots in as the song is very fast paced and edgy and we wanted to portray this in the video. the first chorus is of the performance element of the band so we have shot this footage as if we are preforming to an audience at a gig or concert. The lighting is darker as we wanted to show the edgy pop/rock atmosphere. Liking the idea of random black and white shots we added a few here and there to the editing we have done so far just because we thought it added a refreshing different element to the video.

FILMING 

Yesterday we asked the head of the music department if we could take out the drum kit and guitars as we had problems the other day were they didn't let us. He said it was absolutely fine and that it was not the other teachers decision he has told us we can. We was pleased with this as it meant we could get on with what we had to do, filming the chorus (the performance bit) of the video.

Today we all got together after school with the HD camera and tri-pod. we went to the room that we had previously booked out yesterday and got the instruments to set up in the room. After setting up we shot lots of footage so that we had alot to work with and different angles. The filming went very well and we managed to get alot done. We will be shooting on location in due course.

PROBLEMS IN OUR FILMING

PROBLEMS IN OUR FILMING

In the filming that we done on tuesday after school we had a problem occur. We arranged to use the drum kit from music with the teacher however when we went to get it the teacher we asked was in a meeting and the other teacher would not let us use them.
We ended up shooting the shots of me and Megan with the guitars and did as much as we could in the circumstances.
