First day of filming: 1st location

On this first day of filming we had planned to get shots of a performance of the song with our actor singing and playing the guitar to the song.
We had planned to be able to film all day on the saturday however, due to unforeseen circumstances we were only able to use a few hours of the day. Also our actor at short notice could not do sunday, this gave us a very small amount of time to film
At the location we were setting up lighting and the camera while doing this it seemed that we were rather unprepared for the filming ahead.
at the end of the day we only had a few minutes of film. And as a group we decided not much of it was very good.
So at our next meeting we will discuss any ideas and changes we could make for a more successful video.

Storyboarding

As a group we began drawing and writing some storyboards as a plan for shot and order of our video. We first began the story boarding by writing timings of the song of change of lines, verses and chorus. This gave us a basis to create or shots around and when to be showing narrative to the performance of the song.
This storyboard will help us keep organized and will prevent us as a group from finishing at a scene without a shot which we wanted as it will remind us after looking through it.
Once finishing the storyboard with all pictures and notes we will copy them on to the computer and create a animatic to show an even more accurate example of what our video will be created.
