That's a wrap!

We finished filming our video, today!
It was very successful even though the weather was quite horrid but we still managed to finish filming. Our actors were excellent, and willing to do everything we asked despite the weather. I'm glad to say that it went extremely well. Myself, Charlotte and Tyler decided to meet Stephanie and Syed at Cutty Sark. Then we started to film our video there. We were done by 4:30.

From filming I learnt more about team work, time management and I've learnt more about myself and the way I work along with people in my group. It was a good experience, and I enjoyed filming. Even though it didn't reach my exceptions. At the beginning of the year, I thought had a vision of what I had expected for the music video, thinking that the music video would be professional as they are on music channels. However, it didn't reach my expectation, but I think that we did really well for our first music video!

Meeting 2

We had a 5 minute meeting with Charlotte and Tyler to dicuss our meeting points and to discuss what's happening on Saturday. I have decied to meet up with Charlotte + Tyler; this way it'll be easier for us. & Sayed and Stephanie are meeting up. We're all meeting at Greenwich and we'll start filming from there.

And action!

Today, we started filming our music video, "Take it all away". We all decided to meet up at Walthamstow; and start there. We made our schedule locations according to the locations and not the story board. We decided to get the flashbacks done first; first in Walthamstow we went to use the photo booth. Unfortunately we started late, so we were behind according to time. We managed to get that scene done, even though it did take up quite a lot of time. I didn't realise until today, that filming a music video could take a lot of time and decision making.

Charlotte and Tyler (our actors) were great! They really got into their characters. I've learnt a lot about time management and team work today. We also went to the local café in Leyton. We managed to get that part done also. Our camera suddenly needed charging, so we then went to Stratford. While having our lunch break, at Stratford we charged the camera. We then went to the West field's bridge to capture Tyler lip syncing. At times, we found it very frustrating as people were aware of the camera but still decided to walk through the shot which delayed our filming. By 5:15 we all decided that it was time to leave and should meet up next Saturday to finish the video. I thought the video wouldn't take as long as it did. I think we were slightly disorganized and that's why we didn't finish the video in one day as planned.

I'm thankful that Charlotte and Tyler agreed to work with us in creating our music video. It was a great experience but honestly brought me stress too. :') I look forward to next Saturday.

Meeting.

Today, Sayed, Stephanie and myself had a meeting with Charlotte Read and Tyler Dew about filming tomorrow. We gave them the schedule sheet, and recieved the release forms as planned. Sayed explained in full depth the story board and what exactly we want them to do as actors. They seem excited and wanted to carry on with it. I'm very thankful that we were able to find great actors at college; and their currently in a relationship which is a benefit. I'm very excited to see how tomorrow goes, and if we follow the schedule sheet as expected.
