Prouduction Update

On Thursday's lesson we decided to take the opportunity to film some more shots as it was a two hour lesson. We edited some more for the first hour, then we filmed some shots of our characters Ellie and Max. We wanted some more shots to establish how happy their relationship is within the music video so we needed some more shots. We decided to film in our nature reserve as it is out in the open which represents their relationship. We will then use these shots and edit them with techniques such as light leaks to create a much more happy atmosphere.

After filming in the lesson, Me Billy and Ellie stayed after school to film in the drama studio. We re-filmed the shots of Ellie with the projector over her body. as last time she didn't know the lyrics. This time we was prepared as we put the lyrics of 'Crystal Fighters - Home' on a huge board so it made sure Ellie knew the lyrics and we could get the shots we needed. It was inportant we got these shots as we want to make sure we have as many conventions for a music video as possible and lip syncing is one of them. Filming with the projector was one of my favorite things to film as it looked professional even on the camera before editing as it created really nice highlights and shadows in the shots. We looked through the shots and were happy that the lip syncing was correct.

We were behind filming in the nature reserve due to Max not being able to film with us as he also is taking A2 Media Studies and his priority is his own work.

Unfortunately due to restrictions and lack of availability of the drama studio we were unable to film in the drama studio until today.
