Filming Diary

Personally I think the last 2 filming days have been very successful as the shots look more effective, because of the lighting, particularly at the end of the song the lighting looks very powerful. As my shots are outside and at night, it is very difficult to do make-up and costume in a particular way, however I think I was more prepared this time as make-up and different costumes were all in the back of the car so I could re position my actresses in the right place and add the finishing touches to her hair and make-up once she was on set. I had already got which shots I was going to do from my story board. The story board was very useful, as I felt I knew what I was doing and when and where the shots had to be to get the best outcome. Every time I film, I think it is essential to have my song running in the background constantly so my actress can get into character easily, when to do certain movements and it also helps me to cut the shots that I need when editing my music video so it matches the beat and Chloe's lip sync matches up with the song timings. Therefore, I am hoping that these shots will be exactly as I wanted and look professional enough to be in my final music video. There was only 1 minor problem on the 13th January as it was very cold and some of the costumes my actress was wearing was dresses and jumpsuits, so when my actress got out of the car, I had to make sure the camera was set up ready and ready to go, but this didn't prevent me from getting everything filmed in the time I had.
