Day Of FIlming.

It was decided that we were going to film the narrative for our music video on Friday 25 March. Chelsea and myself spoke about adding a narrative after talking to Miss Smith during our free time and also from the audience feedback given to us in class. Due to the two of us going forward with this independently and after making the preparations for the shoot it was found out that not all four members of the team could make the shoot. Molly and Zoe were all notified of the shoot but could not make which is understandable due to the short notice so we carried on. We called on three of our friends to be in the video. The location was in Chelsea's bedroom and i sourced some props in the form of vinyls, an authentic 60's radio and some original 60's books just to use in the background. We followed Chelsea in two cars as her house is not local to us to make it to the shoot together and successfully. Upon receiving the production schedule for the shoot the times, location and props and costume for the cast were all there in writing. As mentioned in an earlier post i took inspiration from OutKasts "Hey Ya" video and the film "Hairspray" for the narrative. I liked in these how the cast and/or viewer were watching the music video or television programme that was featured in the music video. I initially wanted to do this also but couldn't source a 60's television so instead opted for a radio. This worked quite well i think as we set the narrative as a girls pyjama party where the three girls were getting all dressed up listening to the radio and vinyls, having a good time. Also there is three young girls in the narrative and three lead adult females in the band which worked well for continuity and a sort of link between the two. Although when we reached the shoot we fell behind schedule a little because we found ourselves having a lengthy discussion over some food and drink. Although we quickly got ourselves together and Chelsea and I prepared the room the girls got into costume and did their hair. After the room was complete, Chelsea helped with the hair. When we began filing i took the role as director and Chelsea was in charge of the camera although we talked to each other about appropriate positions to film the shots we had discussed and drawn up. Overall i think it went well because we achieved our goal of filming our narrative and it looks like we have filmed some good footage from viewing the clips back on the camera. As the deadline is nearing Chelsea had said she would take on the editing as she also has Adobe Premier at home.
