This is our final day of filming, and it lasted around 45 minutes to an hour. We all made our way to the bridge over towering roads, in which we filmed a time-lapse of the cars passing as it got darker and darker. The time we went was around five to six o'clock, just after the sun was setting to allow for the difference in time within the footage, showing time passing.  For this we just took the DSLR camera and then a tripod, which is essential for this technique because the shot has to be steady all the way through the time-lapse to ensure that there is no movement whatsoever. We set the DSLR setting for "time interval" for 1 second intervals for 480 shots as we calculated this approximately 15 seconds of footage which is what we needed to add to our music video. To ensure that we got the time-lapse we also filmed on Emily's IPhone using the feature 'Time-lapse', just in case the camera footage wasn't the best or something occurred whilst filming with the...

Hey guys! Another update post of our current filming process. Today, we filmed on the tennis court at school as it was a very nice day to film, compared to last week. We think that this will be our final day filming as we have managed to get all the shots we wanted, and hopefully, none of the shots are out of focus as this was a problem in our AS media project of creating a thriller. However, when watching them back in our editing lesson, we haven't come across any shots which will need to re-filmed. Here are some shots from today!

Hey guys!  So today we filmed in our second location. We filmed within the woods and next to the pond. We managed to get a wide variety of shots, this includes shots such as a mid shot, high angle, over-the-shoulder, tracking and panning shots to ensure that we had a variety of different shots in different locations to keep the audience interested whilst watching the music video. We made sure on the day that we didn't forget our storyboard, as this would direct us so we miss any shots and risk having to come back to re-film. A problem with re-filming and why we made sure we had a variety of shots was that the weather may have changed or Amy could look different compared to the first shots we took, this would make it as the consistency of the shots would be an issue.  To achieve the shots we used the tripod for stable shots and a shoulder mount for the steady tracking shots. We used the DSLR camera for high-quality shots, and to make sure that everything was in foc...

Here is our shooting schedule for our second day of filming. The shooting schedule includes information on what each member needs to bring such as costumes and props, filming equipment etc. 

Hi Guys! Today was our first day of filming our music video, and we managed to get most of It filmed. This is very beneficial for me due to us filming quite late into the process. The parts that we filmed today were the lip syncing parts inside. The lip syncing behind the black screen was the most important part of our music video to film as it is in the majority of our  video, making it the most important part to film. We thought it would be a good idea to film this today because the weather wasn't so great for us to film parts of the music video which were needed outside. We made sure to film each clip more than once to make sure in the post production stages of editing the clips, we didn't have to film any parts again as this could've been difficult as Amy (the main character in the music video) would've had to make sure that all her clothing, hair, makeup etc. was the same as it was today. Here are some photos from the filming today:

Here is our first risk assessment for when filming our music video. The risk assessment will identify any risks that may occur when filming and ensure that we can prevent these risks and cautions of any possible hazards to protect any individuals involved. The risk assessment has been checked by each participants in our group and has been signed by our teacher which will ensure that all the risks are identified, here is our risk assessment:

This is our shooting schedule we have planned out for our first day shooting.
