Filming Six

Day six of the filming, we had a slight flaw within our video, there was a huge gap!
We have added the dream sequence, which we shot in the forest near to our school. Sophie did the filming whilst Jake appeared in the video - he was to signify the confusion of Sophie the female characters wandering mind. How she is thinking of Jon despite her trying to move on.
Her mind is halfway gone.

Filming Five

Fifth day of filming, because we had such a big gap within our video we need to come up with another idea to fill it. We thought as much of the focus is upon Sophie towards the end, we could have Jon reminising, include more memories as he walks, thinking about her. However, we did not have time to complete all our filming last night to finish the rough cut. We are aware that we still have a lot of filming to complete, to improve it and contain all the conventions of a real music video.

Filming Four

Last night we had our fourth and hopefully final day of filming, again we used my house as the location. We shot more scenes of Jon and Sophie, the memory which is going to be edited to be in black and white we decided, we then filmed Sophie upset over the picture and Jon getting angry reflecting upon the argument.

We do still have large gaps within our rough cut, so needed to film more footage to enable us to edit it and know which parts we will need to refilm.

Filming Three

This is our third day of filming, we did have a slight problem because the girl we were originally filming could not make any of the sessions. We changed her with another called Sophie as it was much easier timewise and reliability wise.

We refilmed some of what we originally filmed, including the bed scene and getting ready. As well as the arguing scene, which is what was causing some of the main problems.

Pictures Day Three

Filming Two

Yesterday we had our Second day of filming, the first day when Hanna and Jon would be acting together. We shot the scene of them in bed together, when they have an argument scene and also the scene where they reminisce.

Although we filmed a lot of footage, we are not able to use much of it because it was more experimenting with the camera and the different affects for our footage.

We will need to re film a lot of it because it is not the correct angle or we did not film the right thing.

Filming

First day of filming was planned to be at my house, having been given the deadlines as very soon we were aware we had to have some sort of material to be-able to work with and get our footage done.

Although we used this as an opportunity to see what elements worked and which did not.

The lighting in many of the shots was awful, the suit that Jon used appeared green despite it being grey. Many of the outside shots, the angle of the camera was extremely wonky or you were able to see a reflection in windows and glass making it look amateur filming which is definitely not what we want.

Some of the shots are too close up or don't include Jon, focusing on more insignificant objects.

It gave us all experience with filming and also skills of directing the actors around.

We know we still have a lot of work to do, but we can use the material we have obtained.
