Filming...

Beginning filming:

Currently we are filming, we're now about half way through our storyboard, on the whole everything has gone to plan, the only major problem we had was the setting for the shop scene and the social surrounding scene as we could find no where would allow us to film, we have tweaked our storyboard slightly to fit this and everything is currently going to plan.

Filming updates:

Update 1:
We have filmed a good half of the storyboard, looking at our product at the moment, there is not enough performance in it, we have also had the problem of filming in shops therefore must change the location for this scene. The fact that there is not much performance in our video will be a major problem as this is one of the main codes and conventions of our genre, We need to go back over the storyboard and look at our performance scenes and improve these as they aren't working and the video is becoming more of a storyline than what we need to be doing with it.

Update 2:
We tried to film tonight but it was just too dark, we need to film tuesday day time for all of the exterior shots and monday night for the shots of the artist to fit with the new ideas for our storyboard.

Update 3:
We got all our interior shots tonight, we filmed in the drama studio, the shots have worked well and we got all our performance scenes for the artist. We looked through our storyboard critically, looking at it and considering the social scenes we have had trouble filming, we decided to fill these with performance scenes, this will ensure that we conform to the codes and conventions and also solve our problem of not having enough performance in our video. We also edited our storyboard for the shop scene, we have changed it for convenience and so that our filming will go to plan. So far it is going well and we are sticking to our plan and our current storyboard. We have filmed our performance scenes this evening and our updated part of the storyboard is as follows:




We finished our filming today, everything went to plan and all our shots were as planned. We editing filming that we had previously filmed on the mac book.

We looked at this paramore video, we would really like to take some inspiration from this video.

We began editing our music video alongside our storyboard, it soon became clear that our narrative wasn't effective, it wasn't clear enough and there would have been a misunderstanding for the audience, with asking a few people to watch this, including media teachers, this was confirmed. We needed a lot more performance in it, strong effective peformance as our scenes were quite short and 'choppy', it wasn't making sense. What we have now done is refilmed the performance parts from the artist, the shots like the shots of the couple and the shots of the lip syncing from the side are effective and we will more than likely shorten these to fit in with the codes and conventions of our genre as this will allow us to fit in more performance from the artist. We are happy with our new filming that we have done and will continue editing, we will also get audience feedback in the upcoming week which will help us to consider changes and edit any small parts which may not work as well.
