Production Post for the 22nd November




Today we received feedback from our teacher that she would have liked to see some band footage and a performance aspect to the video. Therefore we gathered Jack, and a couple of others that would go well with the look of the band to play the guitar whilst jack was singing into the microphone.Overall i am glad that we added this as it effectivly breaks the video up, and makes it look more professional.

Production post for the 14th November



Looking through the video, we decided we needed a bit more footage to fill in some gaps. we used a variety of shots such as close ups and extreme close ups from different angles such as side on and a high angle shot.

Production Post for the 3rd November


Following feedback from our teachers we decided to film some close up shots against the wall, we filmed Jack lip syncing the last few verses of the song from different angles against a brick wall, this was to break up the film and give the audience a clear view of Jack.

Production Post for 26th October

Today we travelled as a group, with our actor, Jack to Cheam Park. We managed to get a few good shots filmed here, including one where we found an old tree stump, and another where he walks between two trees. We were there for a few hours completing some good lip syncing shots and filler shots , we only have a few more bits to film such as the introduction then we should be done.

Production Post for the 18th October



On Friday we filmed locally at Carshalton Ponds and Grove Park, we filmed at a church outside, we used the church's grave yard for the video and then moved to grove park to get some further shots and a few filler shots. We travelled there on the bus carrying a camera and tripod with us, overall the location worked well and we was not disturbed while filming, it also portrays a picturesque village rather than a busy city in which it is actually located.

This section of filming is one of the most important in regards of what happens, the audience will hopefully like the twist placed in the video. The editing process is steadily gaining pace, we are using final cut express and so far have various shots in London and what we filmed in Carshalton.

Production Post for the 10th October


We started filming with our actor today, and before hand we took some test shots at school to see if he was good for our music video, thankfully he could lip sing and his appearance was fine for the song. We travelled as a group to London filming in various locations such as Trafalgar Square, Picadilly circus and Green Park.

We acheived some really good shots at these locations, especially at Picadilly Circus where an advert behind whilst filming added an effect to the video, the animated advert of the car flashed its headlights driving towards the actor, this look visually good on film. We also have some very good shot ideas whilst there and managed to get many lip singing sequences filmed in the different locations.
