Filming Time Plan

As we will be filming different scenes both Tuesday and Wednesday, we thought it would be easier to make a plan on what we are filming and when we are filming.

Monday:
- We are going to meet Dan Peakman, Josh Watkins, and James MacBryde, who are going to pose as the band for us, at 1.30/2pm
- We plan to film them walking around town and messing around.
- We are also going to film them in a professional studio
- We are going to film the talking chins scene after we have sorted out all of the shots of the band.

Tuesday:
- We are going to record Sophie Griffiths and Harley Kester acting as a couple, both in a park and in a local pub at 3.10pm onwards
- We are going record Harley's dog dressed in a security outfit
- We are also to film the "mob" of people which will be dressed smartly
- We want to record them kicking over the couples drinks
- Running around the corners in a gang with us running with them as the shot to make it look hand-held.
- We also want to record one of them holding a lead for the dog as it can look aggressive.

Progression - New Actors and Ideas

As we are now going to focus our video on a couple; Sophie has agreed to be the female partner in the video, and has asked her friend; Harley if he will play the main role. This has been confirmed and we plan to record these shots on Tuesday.

As for the band, I have asked a friend of mine if he will gather some friends and pretend to be the band for us, as they look like they belong in one. Here are some photographs of them;



They are the type of people to act like they're in a band, they are really good friends and they act immaturely at times, and I think that this would be perfect for the type of music video that we are making.

We are sticking to the idea of a couple, but we also want to feature some shots of the "band" in the video to stick to Goodwin's theory, so we plan to film them in a studio and also roaming through town, similar to videos from The Kooks - Always Where I Need To Be;

Progression

On Tuesday 18th January, we started to film two of the scenes from our music video. As we had to change our original idea, quite a lot, and we had some troubles with the performers, as the original band that were going to feature in our video let us down and said that they didn't play the song that we were going to use and that they couldn't make it down on that day like we arranged, we had to improvise with the shots that we were going to take.
We filmed in a local pub and also in a local park in St Johns called Cripple Gate Park, and we experimented with the kinds of shots that we could get; we filmed from different angles, for example; behind the bar, and we also filmed some unusual shots.
However, we found that filming when the sun was setting is difficult as in some of the shots we got were a lot darker than the other, we have also found that finding a time when the both the new actors and us are available is difficult as we all have part time jobs and college commitments, so once again we have had to re-shoot and change our actors.
