Filming Day Five

Today was our fifth day of filming. We checked the weather beforehand and we were pleased to see that it wouldn't be raining and this was the case. The first location we went to was Mile End skate park We didn't get to film where we wanted because there was a lot of skaters however, we found a good place to film afterwards in the skatepark where there was no one skating and was a lot of nice graffiti. We thought that the graffiti complimented our actors clothing so we decided to take a few sample shots for our cd cover. We then went of to film next to excel. When we were creating the storyboards we weren't initially going to use excel however after few days of editing, we realised that the track was repetitive and as a result we thought some of the verses that weren't choruses were choruses, we wanted the footage to be the same for the same choruses, however a certain verse was not a chorus so we planned on shooting this verse near excel which is exactly what we did. We knew we wanted the location to be filmed at night because the lights would really set the scene so that's why we decided to shoot the Mile End skate park scene first so that it would become dark as we were heading to near excel. We had to use our torch on our phones so that the actors face would come up on the camera clearly. We had our storyboards with us and we ensured that we stuck to it and as a result, finished the filming quickly. We all had team roles (listed in a post below) in which we all stuck  to. Overall, I would say that it was a very productive day of filming as we filmed a few extra shots for the cd cover which will make us ahead of timings.

Editing Day Six

Today we decided to edit the car scene so that it looks black and white as we had planned to. We did this by pressing effects and then desaturate. After desaturating the shots from the car scene, we realised that the shots were too dark, so we increased the brightness using the brightness tool. We also brightened some parts of  the studio scene to make the shots brighter as they were too dark due to using the black backdrop. However, after changing the brightness we were satisfied with the lighting. We are hoping to edit further, by adding in close-up of the cars and also, changing the brightness etc...

Editing Day Five

Today we synched the rooftop and the bridge scene, we had to leave out the space for the Mile End scene which we will be filming soon. 

Call sheet (Filming Day Five)

Unfortunately we did not find extra actors for the Mile End scene so we came to a decision that our music video will be performance based, the actor will lip synch in this scene.

Equpiment form/ Booking form three

Due to us booking the equipment on the system there is no picture. We booked the camera to take on Friday 6th November so that we can film on Sunday 8th November. We are planning to shoot the Mile End Skate Park scene and the Excel scene on this day. We will return the camera on Monday 9th November.

Editing Day Four

Today, we finished off synching the car scene and because we haven't shooted our Mile End scene yet, we had to leave that bit blank and we started synching bits of the Oxford street and Jubilee bridge scene. 

Editing Day Three

Today we uploaded the car scene footage and converted the files. We then went on to synching the car scene footage with the music track.
