Filming Day 1

Before we started filming we decided to split up the different parts of our music video into separate days, so if anything went wrong we would have enough time in the daylight to keep filming and correct our mistakes, which is exactly what happened. On the first day it was extremely windy and rainy therefore we put filming off for a while to see if the weather conditions improved. Eventually it improved slight so we tried filming to see how good the quality was and it was up to the standard we wanted.

The first part we decided to film was Ben Richards our main male character who was miming the words to the song. This was taken place by the large Oak Tree which was a key feature in our video as it added to the concept. We double checked the location for health and safety, moved any hazards around us, set up the equipment which involved the camera, tripod and lighting and started to shoot our film.

During filming we shot several different camera angles to be able to gain a variety of shots to chose from whilst editing as some shots may work and other may not. Mid, close ups and extreme close up, high angle, low angle, over the shoulder and establishing shots are what we filmed .

The duties we had to share throughout the day involved someone holding the lighting, someone filming, another person keeping all the equipment as dry as possible due to the bad weather conditions we didn't want this to effect our filming and finally the last person to take pictures for photo evidence as shown.
