First day of filming

During Wednesday's lesson we told Mr Lawes we were ready to film and explained to him our concept, storyboard and how we were going to film. Once we were given the go ahead we organised to take the HDV camera out in order to produce a high quality music video. We then left to film at our first location, my house. When we got there we decided to look at another of our locations which was near by. After this we got back to my house, set up the camera and began to film. We took Jake Wynn's advice and did all our shots in one go, beginning of song to the end. Whilst setting up we gave Mackenzie a chance to learn the words of the song. At first Mackenzie felt uncomfortable singing with all of us in the room, and so me and Beccy left Josh to operate all the equipment (camera, music). On mine and Beccy's return they had finished their first take and we decided to look through it and see what the angles were like. We then decided to do a few more takes so it would be almost perfect. Once we decided that the angles were fine we moved on to our next shot (a close up). We did this take once as it was fine the first time we tried. After this we moved on to a side angle and filmed this shot once. We then moved on to filming an alarm clock where the time changed for the singer to get up. This took one take as it was simple to perform. Once all the filming was done we looked through all the footage to make sure the angles were fine.
