Todays filming was a massive success thankfully, compared to our previous amounts of filming. We have managed to do the vast majority of the outdoor footage, with the exception of the giving the flowers sequence near the start of the video, as ran out of time. The last bit of filming we need to complete is the closing sequence, as in when the band have finally won over the girl.
We filmed in locations through Narborough and Littlethorpe today, and tried to keep each location in a well lit area, and tried to keep some blue sky showing in the shots to add to our mise-en-scene. This wasn't always possible however, due to obstructions, be it trees or walls. We also did our best to keep the shots as mid or close ups, to stick with the conventions of music videos. Our shots in general I'm quite pleased with, but there are certain bits I'd like to refilm though. My own part of the performance for example, I'd like to redo before the final draft, but for a first draft, its more than sufficent.
When Jack and Alison had gone, we decided to do some extra footage to waht we had planned, and quickly did some planning to include some performance shots of Paul on the drums. We had already filmed Jack on the guitar, but we didn't have any drums until Catherine managed to get some for us to use. This was quite a challenge for Paul, as he has no drumming experience, so we found a video on YouTube for him to get an idea off, and then we just did short 5 second bursts of him doing certain bits of the song, as it was too hard to do it all in one go.
