Filming

Today I began filming some shots for my first draft of my music video. I was able to organise for Vicki who plays the lead role to come to do the filming rather than use just anyone as I did for my anamatic. This means that when it comes to making changes and possibly filming again for my final piece, it will be quicker and easier to film as we will have already done it almost the same before. As we have been friends for a long time, I felt it was important that we started to film now so that we were able to get used to the idea of her following my instruction and me filming her as it was weird and awkward to start off with because it is something we have never done before. I managed to film for the first 20 – 25 shots in the evening which took about 1 ½ hours but we spent some additional time trying out different things for her to do and different angles to see which was best as well.

These first five images show the photo album filled with photos that my character will be looking through. One of my ideas is that I will have the photos turn into videos to show that it is a memory.
To get the photos on [this] page, I went out a few weeks ago and took some videos of two people acting as a couple. They did things such as go on the swings, visit a park, walk to a stream and sit together. I then took still images from the videos and used them as my photos in the album. In my final edit of the video I will turn these photos that she looks at in the album into videos to create the idea that they are memories.

These three images I took when we were experimenting with different hairstyles for the shots of my character in the bathroom trying to get ready in the morning. I wanted her to look run down and exhausted so they were just typical day to day hairstyles that she would have in real life.

These five images show in the bathroom that I decided to change some of the hairstyles. I also thought that I should film her changing her hair as I could then use these films in my video to actually show her getting ready rather than just straight cuts of her looking different.
