First Draft Of Music Video

Behind the scenes images

These are some behind the scenes images taken when filming in the park. This demonstrates well the issue I had when filming because the sun was really low therefore there was flares of sun in certain directions. So I had to move when filming at some points to make sure the lighting was good.

Filming Diary - Friday 12th of December

Today I filmed the beginning scenes for my music video. I had planned to film the party scene also but the actors couldn't make it last minute so I had to reschedule that section and film the parts that I could.

The shots that I did manage to get did go quite well in some places but other my framing could have been better and also maybe smoother transitions between the shots.

Lighting was an issue in the close up shots as the position of the actor meant that her face was dark and shadowed at some moments, so I may re-film that at some point to make sure you can see her face and hair properly.

Filming Diary

Friday 5th of December

Today I filmed the majority of the park scene for my music video. As it was really cold we didn't want to stay too long and I didn't like having the equipment in a park incase it was stolen.

There was some difficulties as Jack (the actor) was struggling to mouth the words in time with the music so that it would work when I edit the footage. This was because he didn't fully know the words, so next time he need to learnt the words before hand.

At first I had a little play with the camera to get used to using it and also how to position the tripod correctly. I then practised framing and filmed a couple of test shots.

The shots which went well I thought was the close-ups of Kate (the actress) and also the shots of the two actors walking towards and away from each other.

Overall, I think the filming went well considering it was the first time we had all tried it.
