Absense:

Having been currently ill for numerous days this week, i have been unable to help Tash. M with filming the  final part of the video on Wednesday 6th. Although, the bulk of the editing was finished a few days ago whilst i was still in school. Thankfully, she was able to film the last section of the video without me and tied the odd bits of the video, such as making sure the lip syncing was in order.

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?

Unable to Film!

Unfortunately, we were unable to film today as our location (drama room) is being used for GCSE rehearsals. So to make sure we don't have another incident like this, we need to book a time with the drama teachers to book the space.
This has set us back in our planning but will be filming this scene asap and do as much editing as we can whilst we are waiting to film this last chorus.

Filming

Today was very useful as we finally had the 'guy' available to film the scene for the first verse. However, we came across troubles when a teacher told us we couldn't work where we were working due to health and safety reasons, incase there was a fire alarm. Although, it was okay because we had filmed enough of our scene.
We asked the 'guy' when he was next available to work with us for our next scene (the line-up) and we decided we would all be free to film on Wednesday after school. We were also able to find other boys to be in it on that day as there is a show in the evening so t is a good time for everybody. This is also a better time as it is after school so won't be in the way incase of a fire alarm as students won't be in school anymore.

Problems with filming:

At the moment, the group are having the difficult problem of finding time to shoot long lengths for the music video. We have all the costumes ready and know exactly where we are shooting the different sections of the video. However, the problem we are currently facing is the location for the main narrative of the video. We are planning to set it in the drama studios, but are frequently occupied by other people. Therefore, we are having to change our plans often which is an aspect i will have to discuss with my partner.
