Today my group and I focused on out second shooting our music video from 3:30pm - 7:30pm at Tammy's house again. For this we booked a DLSR and a tripod. As this was something on our 'what could be improved' part last time, we also remembered to take 2 batteries in case one ran out (giving us more time to film). Also, with regards to costumes, Elsie bought her dress and Tammy had her onesies (which her and I wear in our music video).
We used the shooting schedule more this time around, as we found that it helped us keep on track of what we needed to get done (we ticked off what we did as we went along).. The first parts of filming we did included the quick cuts of when the girl has left the house (which in editing we made into quick cuts to create the dramatic effect that we wanted to achieve). Other shots that we filmed included a long shot of the bedroom, a mug on the bedside table, the TV being left on and her dressing table with her jewelry left on it. We then filmed the main girl packing her bag, opening the door, going downstairs and leaving her coat before leaving her house.
We then filmed the footage for more of the sleepover part of the narrative. This included us filming a long shot of us all sat on the bed, but since looking at it we feel that we will need to make it darker in editing to keep the 'spooky' theme going. We then shot a quick close up of each of us with the torch being held underneath our faces (to once again keep the spooky theme). We also shot the close up shot of Tammy blowing out the matchstick (after she has lit the candles in the bedroom).
Finally, we decided to film me and Tammy lip syncing again, as before we felt that it didn't look realistic enough, and the lighting was not quite how we wanted it) . We were able to improve the lighting by using a torch on our faces. (Also, we remembered to take down the posters in the background, so it looked more professional).
What went well:
We believe that our time management went well as we were able to get most of the shots done that we were planning to do. Furthermore, we started filming shots from the other side of the narrative (the 'spooky' story). What also went well was the fact that we were able to improve the shot of me and Tammy lip syncing.
What could have been improved:
We feel that we probably needed to set up quicker and make sure that we had everything that we needed was ready for filming. For example, we were going to film the shots from the 'spooky' story narrative of the girl opening the box and looking at the picture of the boy the she likes, as well as the shots of the girls friends destroying it. However, there were technical problems with Tammy's printer so therefore we will have to film it at the next filming day we have at Tammy's house.
Here are some screenshots of what we did on this filming day:
