Filming Day Four ..

On day four we decided to try and get the rest of the music video finished with meant that we had to have good organisation skills , all the props ready and all of the cast at my house by 11 in the morning . It was very difficult to get all the cast to my house which meant that we had to change some of the actors last minute. This also meant that we had to change the way that we were going to do some of the scenes . It was also hard to get every one into costume as we had to use a lot of make up and different clothing because every one was dressed differently in each scene . In particular the Alice in wonderland scene was hard to get the characters dressed up for as we had very little face paint and had to dress all three actors up to look like the rabbits and the Mad Hatter .  We managed to do the Alice in Wonderland scene, Emo scene, Charlie and Chocolate Factory Scene, Grease scene and we changed the masquerade ball to an Arabic scene where some Arabic women are  praying. We did this to make the video more random and because we did not have the right people to do the masquerade ball scene . 

 The scene that i feel went the best was the Alice in wonderland scene and The Emo scene , i feel that these went well because we got to spend more time on them and the lighting and acting went really well . In the Emo scene the characters really did suit the scene because of their make up and their hair . The props that we had were really good as we spent ages trying to get the props right so that it would realistic . For example we had lots of sweets for the Charlie and the chocolate factory scene and we had burgers and chips for the cafe scene in the Grease scene . 


As you can see here we dressed the kitchen up in checkered cloths so that it would look like an old cafe , you cant see clearly in this photo but there are burgers and chips on the table to also help make the scene look like a cafe scene . 



 Here is a picture of us doing the make up for the emo scene , we had to do make up for almost every scene so that people would look like the characters that we wanted to have in the music video . 


We also had to completely transform some of the rooms so that they did not look like bedrooms any more . This involved us taking all of the furniture out and decorating it to make it fit the scene . 


In conclusion i feel that the filming went really well as the scenes looked really good and the acting was really good . I do feel that we could of got some more shots but as we ran out of time this was not possible . I think that the characters looked the part and that we got a lot of great shots that will fit the concept in our film and gives us a variety of shots to work with .

Filming day three

For day three we filmed the bath room scene in which represents the modern day parties in particular half naked women . We decided to use this in our music video to represent the male gaze theory and also to represent the stereotypes for 2013 . I feel that the filming went really well as all the characters were in costume and we got a variety of great shots but i think that we may need to film it again because we did not get enough shots . If we film again it will give us more footage to mess around with so that we can get the best shots that we need . When doing the music video we soon realized that the bathroom got steamy so got the lens of the camera steamy which messed with the image so we will also have to re- do the footage to get some better shots but this time we will make sure that the water is cold enough so it doesn't steam up .

Filming day two...

We had to change the location of the band scene due to transport and getting every one there so we have chosen to film the band scene in an old house which will fit in with the music video.We chose to use this setting because we want it to look messy and unique, this is because it will make the video its self look older and it will also suit what we would like it to look like. The filming went great because we managed to film in lots of different angles  and lots of different shots because we had two cameras . We also managed to film the band playing on the roof of the building and used flashing lights and a smoke machine to fit the scene. I feel that the acting was brilliant because Lewis mimed the song perfectly and we also had some one who could play the guitar and some one who could play the drums so that it looked realistic .
