Filming Week 2: Sky Garden

We filmed in Sky Garden and it went well, it looked very visually appealing and the view was fascinating, however we arrived a little late due to transport delays so we had less time to film, But what we did film looked good.

Reflecting on Research and Planning

Filming: Week 1: Leake Street

Filming in the Leake street tunnel was successful and fun to do. We filmed most of our scenes that we storyboarded, as well as additional footage, so we have a lot to pull from in editing. we all took turns filming except Spencer who was the main performer. The only issue we came across was lighting but we used that to our advantage as we used silhouette shots and filmed in brightest places, we also filmed earlier so it was lighter, we didn't get to film all our scenes so we may have to reshoot here at a later date.

Team Meeting: Leake street

We discussed where to meet in order to film and to remind each other to bring the equipment. This allowed us more time for filming as we didnt use up time waiting or not being able to film because a member forgot something.

Sky Garden Tickets

Spencer booked the tickets in advance so we could film there on the 19th of October.

Costumes and Props

We won't be using elaborate costumes, our main performer will be wearing casual clothes mainly as they match the genre of the song. we wont be using many props either.

These are the clothes that our performer will be wearing when filming, with slight variations on each day of shooting.

A packet of flour is the only prop we will be using for some scenes, it is meant to be cocaine as it relates to our story in the video.

Risk Assessments

These were made by Aaron

Permission for Music Video

I wrote an email to the artist's (Logic) record label asking for permission to use their song for our work, this is too avoid any legal issues that using their music may create

Team Meeting: Class

Today one of our team members was not in class so we could not discuss a lot of the pre production plan. However, we do know that Spencer is the main performer as he knows the song fluently. We discussed locations of one of the scenes we are planning, where it takes place in a therapist office, we thought it would be in college as their are offices that we could use. We will start to discuss risks with locations and storyboarding the video once he is in class.

Photos were taken by every group member

Updated Storyboards

Storyboarding

First we annotated the lyrics of the song to come up with shooting ideas that we could plan on our storyboards and we planned it line by line at various points, the annotation was done by Spencer.

The storyboards themselves were drawn by Irnandas while we shared our ideas
