Revised Schedule
We filmed our test footage on the 21st of October, we did this just in Kenz's garden to see what sort of quality the camera was that we were working with. Also, i had never met Lauren who was our main actress and so it let us all meet and know what her strengths and weaknesses are, this also helped us be sure that we wanted to use her to act and dance in our music video. We just filmed Lauren singing in front of nature so we could not only see how well she films but also it allowed us to test out any shots we wanted to see if we were going to use.
Next, we filmed our couple scenes on the 28th of October at Jacks house. The time we got to his house was about half an hour before golden hour and so it was perfect timing. We filmed a variety of 'cringe' couple shots that reflected a perfect/cute/happy couple using the sunlight in our favour. The shots we gained from this time filming were most probably my favourite since the lighting was perfect since the sun allowed us to get some great silhouette shots of the Jack and Alice. Also, on this date we filmed our in and out focus of a busy motor way at night, the effect that this gave is very different but effective and we plan to use this shot at the very beginning of our music video.
Then, we filmed at the dance studio at Rhodes Centre on the 6th of November. We only had booked the studio for an hour and a half so we had to work quickly when it came to this shoot. We filmed Lauren dancing to the song many times until we had got a wide variety of different angles and different lighting types. We got her to do quick fast movements at times when we kept the camera still but then also we thought that a pan or track would be effective when it came to her more slow moves. Overall, i think we got enough shots that we needed to, however, if i were to film somewhere like that again then i would get some box lights to light up the area she was dancing as she can look a bit too plain at time which is not the look me and my partner were going for.
On the 9th of November we filmed Lauren singing in the recording studio at our school. This gave us the effect of her recording the song herself, however, this shoot was similar to the one in the dance studio since the lighting was very bland and did not do much for Lauren. We did use our LED light that attaches to the front of the camera but even with this there was not much difference and i thought that we could have used a box light to one side of her and this would have made all the difference. Too add to this though, it was not a complete failure since we did get some good footage to use.
Lastly, we filmed in the pit on the 7th of November and this was by far my favourite shoot that i got to film. I think we got some excellent footage from filming in the pit since we got to use the lighting system that my school has in place and this allowed us to get Lauren to dance and sing and create great shots of her. Although, we did have the issue of that the floor was quite dirty as so we had to try and not get it in the shots most of the time but we managed just fine.
