Filming Day 1

14.11.11

Day 1 of filming. Yesterday the girl and boy we had cast for the music video cancelled on us. So we had to find new people at last minute which was really stressful as many people did not want to be on camera or had other responsibilities. Luckily, Baibin from our group managed to get two of her friends to agree to being part of the video. The new girl in the music video is Aimee Sullivan and the new boy in the video is Reuban Jones. We asked Aimee to come to filming dressed in a vintage dress and curly hair and Reuban to come dressed in an Indie style with skinny jeans. We picked the camera and tripod up from college at 9:00am and went straight to the location. The day went really well and we managed to get most of the shots from the story board done, so we didn't have much to do on the second day. First we looked around the location we were using (Baibin's auntie's house) to find different vintage items that we could photograph and use on the digipak and magazine advert. Then we visited the charity shop where we bought some pearls, which we used to create the stop motion shots in the music video. After, we went to the local vintage shop to ask if we could take some photos of the items in there. Unfortunately it wasn't open and the light was reflecting on the window from the outside, so it wouldn't photograph clearly. When Aimee and Reuban arrived at 12 o'clock we walked down to Rowntrees Park where we started filming the first 6 shots of the music video. Next we went back to Baibin's Auntie's house to start filming the indoor scenes involving both Aimee and Reuban. We had to get all scene's with Reuban in them done because he had to be in college on the next day of filming so we couldn't use him. We mostly stuck to the storyboard but as we were filming, the cast had suggestions too and we found other ideas that would look good, so we adapted the storyboard. The day finished at 4:00pm so we could get the camera and tripod back to college for 4:30pm.
