Filming Postponed #2

We had planned to film the last bit (chucking Jack out scene) today, however, this had to be cancelled as one of the actors went home and we couldn't use another man as he had been in the rest of the video.
We have planned to do it on Wednesday where we have double Media so we can film in the first hour (even though this will only take roughly 20 minutes) and edit in the next. That means after this, all the filming will be complete.
So the new filming list is:


Date to film: Wednesday 6th April
Time: 9:50am - 9:30am
People needed: The Group plus Jamie, Michael and Jack
Location: Under the stairs (interrogation room)


The rest is the same as the earlier list.

Filming Postponed

We were supposed to film today, however, the main guy couldn't make it so we couldn't film. We know we have a deadline coming up soon so we are going to try to find the next available date to film when we have got all our props, the actors and the location booked.
Instead, in this lesson time, we made the black strips to put in the background for our 2nd narration for the line up as they went missing from when we previously made them.

However, an idea that I came up with is that we could use the black strips across Jack as a postmodern version of Lady GaGa's dress:

This fits in with the interrogation theme we are going for and could be used at the end for our montage of quick fast shots. This dress is iconic so the postmodernism of the bars should be obvious. We could film it and see if it works or not?

Location Change Again!

We realised that this time wouldn't be suitable for the actors so we searched around the school for about 20 minutes to search for a plain white wall that we could use instead which wouldn't need to be booked for a specific time.

We found the french corridors did the job, so we have decided we will film on Thursday 1st period as that time suits all of us!

Change of Plan

Tasha D,


Me and Jack (the actor) have to go to a last minute school commitment tomorrow for half an hour after school so this may affect our filming time. However, you know how I did the setting last week whilst you were in class to save time? I feel this helped a lot so maybe it would be useful for you to do this tomorrow, if you want? Such as getting the camera (make sure it works) and the tripod (and whatever else is on the filming list). Just thought I'd write this on here incase you see this message before I see you tomorrow.

Change in filming plan:

The group has decided to change the filming day to Friday 11th instead of Thursday 10th. This is because for the section that we want to film of the music video, it needs to be filmed with the "guy" in the plot, therefore, we have to wait until Friday so that he is able to be on the shoot location with us as he will be available.

As a result the group have done another filming plan for the video shoot of Friday.

Filming:

Yesterday, the group decided to film the bridge of the song "Kiss N Tell". We decided to change location from the drama studios to the school hall in order to move our filming date closer. This section of the song is solely focused on the artist, therefore, the camera work was made to be intimate with the artist with low angle shots, close up shots etc.

Also, there was the need for lots of equipment that we had to carry around everywhere:

 - A Large Fan
 - Ipod speakers/Ipod
 - Tripod/Camera
 - Lots of electric cables

We are now currently uploading the footage that we have taken so far such as the bridge and the very beginning of our song. We are doing this because of the problems that we faced with uploading our preliminary footage a few weeks ago, where we thought we lost our footage because we did not upload our footage as soon as we filmed.
