Shooting schedual...

Now that we have decided to add a narrative to our video we felt that it would be helpful to create a shooting schedual so that we have a clear structure of what we are working on.

Once we created the schedule we went straight out to begin filming, unfortunately I had lessons in the afternoon so I couldn't stay long but Tara, Ciara and Stef went out and continued filming. After filming they returned back to school to upload the footage and begin editing, at this point I was able to joint them and we had a very successful editing afternoon.

Filming day 2...

On our second day of filming we had to travel to Brick Lane. The plan for the day was to film some of our more abstract, creative shots by graffiti walls and any interesting eye catching places. As we left Liverpool Street station we came across a very bold eye catching piece of graffiti street art which we all knew would be ideal as a background in some of our shots.

Unfortunately as we got all our equipment out to set up and film we realised that a key piece was missing, the plate which attaches the tripod to the camera. Our first thought was to search for any local camera shops or places where we may be able to purchase a new one considering we had travelled up there and were all ready to film however the places we rang said that they had to be ordered and would take days to arrive. So, to try and not waste any of our time we filmed a few handheld shots which we will still be able to use, we also walked around to find any other locations we could come back to. We also thought that while we are all together it would be the perfect time to come up with our Band Brand, all the information will be on the post to follow.

We have uploaded the footage and so far we are really pleased with our results and are very excited about our new concept.

We filmed a quick vlog to explain what happened on our second day of filming.

Filming day 1...

We have begun filming for our music video for 'Pvris - White Noise' and on our first filming session we decided to film some of the performance shots. We wanted to use a very simplistic style for some of our shots and just have our Artist - in this case Stef - and a black blank background. Our plan was to film some still shots of Stef lip-synching to the song in our schools drama studio, which we will cut to a couple of times when editing, however, we discovered a large wall mirror in the studio which allowed us to also capture more creative shots. We decided to position Stef opposite the mirror which gave us a very interesting shot and will be perfect to use in our music video.

Filming day one...

Today we began our first session of filming. We planned to film the shot for the lines "He's got a rolling stones tee, but he only know's one song", for this part we have decided to use stop animation and have a Rolling Stones t-shirt unravel from a scrunched up ball.

It took longer than expected because we had to slowly move small parts without making an obvious difference so that later on when we edit it, it should flow better, but apart from that we are really happy with our results so far.
