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!

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.

Location Change

As we were unable to use the drama room due to it being in use for performances and rehearsal this month, we needed to use another location so we can start doing filming. I found that the hall was free to use most of the time. So we have decided to use that instead.

We can use this as it's a black curtain which is what we needed from the drama rooms anyway.

There are two of these blocks which can be used as a stage.

Unavailability of location:

We have just found out that the group is unable to use the University green room in order to film the video. This is a result of the room not being at our access as easily as we had hoped. We thought that the use of the green room would allow us to add special effects for the bridge of the song as it is a green room, which sees the artist on her own for that section of the song, therefore, we needed to make it different to the rest of the song.


We felt that this would hinder our filming progress. However, we are not reluctant at the news as we still have other locations within school which will allow us to do our filming as successful as our previously planned location. We decided that we would be able to special edits of that footage with the program "Final Cut".

Location

The location of the music video will take place in our school drama studios and other sections of the school. Below, we have taken shots of the different settings and the props that we will use for the music video for the bridge, chorus and main narrative.
