So, today was the fourth day that we have used to film for our final A2 music video. On this day, we filmed from around 4.00pm-5.00pm due to inconvenience, and made sure that we had booked all of the equipment that we needed (DLSR and tripod) as well as all of the props (flannel shirt and black dress with a white cardigan).
- First, we re-filmed the mid shot of the girl's coat which match to the lyrics 'Leaves her coat'. We did this again as when editing, we realised that the shot we'd previously done had the main girl played by me walking past (when the shot is meant to be shown when the girl has already long gone and is in the wood) . Therefore, as using the previous shot wouldn't have made any sense, we decided to film another shot of the coat, but without getting the girl in the frame.
- We then filmed the long shots of the main girl rushing up the stairs and going back to her bedroom.
- We also filmed a close-up of the main girl dropping the bag on her bed...
- And a mid shot of her on the bed with the shirt, and then one of her lying down on the bed.
- We then filmed the shots that fit with the instrumental parts of the song. This consisted of the shots where the main girl breaks down with worry and stress as she does not know where her lover is. Shots we filmed included a close-up of the girl hitting the wall and leaving a hole in it, a long shot of the girl throwing the shirt and a pillow, and a mid shot of her looking sad and frustrated.
- Finally, we filmed a close up of Tammy and I holding hands for the lyrics 'to the sound of love' (making it look as if one of the hands is a boy's, so as it fits with the narrative of the girl and her lover).
What went well:
We were able to film everything we had planned on the shooting schedule and did a range of different shot types/angles to make it more interesting for our audience to watch.
To improve:
We feel like we probably should have made sure that we had cleared everything that was in the shots (to make it more professional).
Also, we feel like we also need to improve the match on action shot of when I punch the wall, as it did not look like a swift enough movement when we came to editing it. We will do this by not changing the camera angle too much when we re-do the shot.
Here are some screenshots of what we filmed on this day:
