Filming Update

We only had an hour worth of filming today. This limited us as a group on what we could film, so we had decided to film the rest of the performance so that we could then concentrate on what we have left of the narrative for our last day of filming. Today, it was raining, which meant that it would be slippery and wet up at the forest. Having this weather meant that we could film some of our performance within the car as the audience would not be able to see the kind of weather anyway. This are a few shots in which we documented the journey whilst the artists would ding into the camera. I think that today's filming went well considering how much we had actually got done. We are ahead of schedule as all we now have left to do is to film the rest of the narrative which is a small amount.

 This is a shot of where the camera was to film the whole of the cast. By having this camera fixed here, we were able to film the two performers at the front of the car and the two co stars in the back. This created a group shot which allowed everyone to be seen especially the artists and this was also a close up of the two artists especially. I think that this is a typical and common shot for the indie genre as it helps for the artist to be established. We have used this shot to show the journey to the actual desired destination. Here, we have shows how what the audience do when travelling and also to show some of the performance elements. When appropriate, the artists have sung their part to show the different location of where we have shot. This is redundant due to how the group shot has the effect of making them look popular which is what the indie genre is all about so that our targeted audience will be able to relate to each shot which we do. 

These are also some shots which I have taken of the cast. The top shot shows the behind view of the two artists. This shows the point of view from the two co stars. It also represents the artists and promotes them as a band, it shows how important they are which introduces them as a band and also into the music video. Within the car, we focused on the handheld detail so that it would look like it is someone's point of view. We want the filming to turn out quite shaky especially in these performance and narrative parts. The bottom photograph shows how we are showing where we are travelling to and what we come across when documenting our journey. This was heavily influenced by the indie genre as they always like to be unique and to stand out against the rest of the same genre.

According to our time management, we are going to next film on Monday 19th November which will also be our last day of filming. I feel that today has been successful as we now only have one more narrative element which will easily be shot in the double lesson on Monday.
