Looking at the footage of the 5th day

Looking at the film it was instantly noticeable that it was better than any previous footage and now there is certainly enough to complete the video.

I looked through the whole of our footage and placed markers (using this button ) on the video to show where there was some good shots and the main parts of the song as there is a lot of footage that is very repetitive and so the markers make it easier to find good shots rather than watching through all the footage every time a new shot is needed.

5th day of filming

Our fifth day of filming and hopefully our last. We booked the same place as before and have got the same actors wearing the same clothes as we need it to look as similar as the previous lot of film so we can use both sets.

This should be our most successful day yet as each of us have had a lot of practice from the previous four days of filming.

For this time I have carried out some extra research and thought up many more ideas which should help us when filming.

On previous days I have not done much filming so this time i insisted on filming more myself so I could also film how i would like it and to use my own ideas. I did the majority of the filming on this day with the rest filmed by Jake. Previous experience also taught me that as a group we must take more control over our actors and make them do what we want them to do for our video to look professional, I took this on board and told them to do exactly what i wanted when i wanted this helped hugely in making the filming quicker and getting much more done in the same amount of time as before.

4th day of filming

The most succes we have had was on this day, we use our planning and lit the setting better and filmed the correct way. This time as a group we took more controll over the band to make them do what we wanted them to do rather than being less forcefull as before. Even with the sucess of this day we still did not capture enough footage which means we will have to return one more time to get more and enough film to create our video.

3rd day of filming

A reasonably succesfull day, we managed to get roughly 1 hour of footage which i

sn't enough for a finished product but we are able to return to the location a

nd film more which we will need to do.

The footage we do have is good and can be used to begin editing. There are a few mistakes we made while filming which makes some shots unusable this is because we left some things on the floor which were in shot. another mistake we made was that all the shots were too static and not 'handheld enough'. As very little of this can be used we must return to the location and film far more.

meeting after 2nd day of filming

After the unsuccesful day of filming we viewed the footage we had and none of us were very pleased with any of it. however, it was only the setting and lighting that did not look good so the shots that we filmed were good practice for future filming. we went through the footage and picked out shots that we liked to use again at the next setting.

Now we had to decide where to film next, we came up with some more ideas of locations the most likely and possible was The Red Lion in Northfleet. This location is an actual venue and has good lighting so it should look far better than our previous location.

2nd day of filming for Time Like These

The location we had chosen for the filming is a local scout hall which has a lot of space and first we thought would be perfect as our location.

However, we began to film and using our planned shots which looked ok but this showed that the location was not good enough and we could not cover the walls to look professional.

This day was good practice for future filming we have been able to try out different ideas and techniques so we did not waste any time there even though we knew that we were very unlikely

t0 use the film be had but we continued as it was good practice.

After this we decided to leave and discuss at a next meeting of what to do for the next day of filming.

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.
