A couple of days ago we went down to film at riverside country park which was our first lot of filming. As we planned to film at 3 pm this is straight after school, so we had to be organised and bring the costumes to school and get changed at school. We didn't start filming until 4pm as we didn't take into account the time it takes to meet, change, dive to the location and find the spot that we wanted to film. This didn't matter too much as it was still daylight though the whole time that we filmed for. We did come across some challenges on our way and changes, which I will be discussing later on.
When we got to this location we were able to see what was
available to us. As we walked about we thought go better and more creative
ideas then we originally planned to do from our story bored. This was an
advantage because we were able to take shots that suited the area more. The
reason why we didn't take any of the shots that we planned to do because the
area didn't best fit the shots that we planned. Another reason was because we
needed certain props from the location like a bench. Last reason why we didn't
was because the new ideas were many betters then the original ones. As we want
to make our music video the best it can be. We need to be open to changes and
ideas.
Eleanor filmed our establishing shots that she found that
she found good. She did this because she thought they would by good space
fillers and that they will help show what location we are in. the filming was
shared out equally, which was good. The first shot that I film was a point of
view shot coming out of the busses. This was particularly challenging as I had
to try and hold the camera still. It was hard to keep still because the busses
had vines going across the floor, I was trying to not full over. I also film
the shot of Eleanor on the rocks this was also challenging to do because I was
on slop. I used the tripod for this as it helped me level my shot out. On the
tripod there was a level stick bubble which told me when I was level which was
very handy. To level the camera out I had to make the legs different lengths to
each other.
I was filmed three times that day. For the three person shot
we used the tripod. This was very helpful as we were able to press record and
all is in the shot at the same time. With the walking way frame we plan to make
this into a jump shot, showing time has passed. Eleanor filmed a wide shot of
me sitting in the corner on the floor relaxed. Paige filmed me doing some lip
syncing on the same bank the Eleanor did hers. We only film five shots at this
location as we found there was not a lot in this location and we were starting
to lose light, which we didn't want to happen. We originally planned to go to
dockside but riverside took longer than expected. So we have agreed to film
this location on another day.
In conclusion my group and I think that we filmed some good
shots that we can us in our video. I liked how we thought of these better and
more creative ideas when we got there as it’s more the location more
interesting. Some shots did take multiple times to get the right one, but it
was worth it as we got good shots that we can us in our video.
