Shooting - Studio
In Thursdays lesson we filmed in the studio again as our previous green screen filming didn't work so this time we filmed with our background already there instead of the green screen, and we also filmed with a black background instead of green screen, as when we filmed it with green screen previously and tried to use the black background we had difficulties as the green reflected in the guitar and it was impossible to edit out on final cut, now that we've filmed with a black background it is a lot better and we will be able to successfully edit it. Overall this filming was very successful.
Shooting - Leaves
In today's lesson we filmed some footage in the burn valley park, this wasn't footage that we needed but we thought it would be best to film more footage that would go within our music video in case we need it. Some of the shot that we done was the main character walking along a path, another one of them kicking leaves and a one of them sat on the floor playing with the leaves, we thought these were all successful shots as we can now use them in our video.
Shooting - Green screen
In Today's lesson we filmed different shots with the green screen. The first shot we filmed was the shot where the main character is going to be stood in the city when everything is fast-forwarding, this shot was successful although it is difficult to edit out the green so we may have to film this part again, although it isn't too bad. We also filmed different shots of the main character playing guitar and we used different shots such as long shots, close ups and medium shots, as well as shots from the side. One of the problems we had was that the guitar at first had no strap, so the main character couldn't stand up and play it, when we eventually got a strap we had to tape it to the guitar as there was nowhere to attach it, although this wasn't a good idea as it kept falling off, eventually we used string to tie the strap to the guitar, which was better as it never fell off and it wasn't visible. Overall the filming was quite successful.
Shooting - Newcastle
Last night we filmed some of our music video in Newcastle which was mostly successful, we filmed the shots which we planned to which were, the trombone shot, walking along a dark street, parts were there are lights in the background and a shot of the main character drinking out of a bottle spinning around, we also filmed some extra shots which we thought we might be able to use in case we couldn't use the other shots, which were crossing a zebra crossing, and a low-angle shot with a clock in the background. The trombone shot was difficult to do as we had to do it handheld which made it look very unprofessional, so we have decided not to use this clip as it isn't a clip that we need to use and we have other clips which we could use instead. We also filmed a busy street to put on the background of the green screen were the main character will be stood whilst everything in the background is fast-forwarding.
Shooting - Fire 2
Last night we filmed the fire shots once again, although we didn't film the lyrics burning as we still had those shots from last time. Some of the extra shots that we added was some shots of the main character singing whilst stood against a wall, we also filmed the whispering shot twice, near the fire and near the wall, again. We decided to film down a dark lane using car headlights to light up the main character. We done shots of her from the front walking forwards, as well as some of her walking forwards from behind. We also done some shots of her sat on a fence whilst driving past, and one of her where it looks as though she is about to be ran over. Another shot we filmed was of the main character brushing her hair in a mirror, which illustrates the lyrics. Over all we thought that this was very successful filming.
Filming - Fire
Last night we filmed the fire scene with different shots of the main character behind the fire, as well as another character whispering into the main characters ear, we filmed close ups as well as medium shots, and we also filmed some of the lyrics of the song being burned in the fire, which we thought was successful.
Problems-
In today's lesson we looked at the filming that we uploaded in yesterdays lesson and found that a lot of the clips from the fire scene that we had filmed aren't there, so we went to get the camera which we had used to film and found that our footage had been deleted, so we are now having to film the fire scene again, although we have decided to film more shots and use a few more different locations so that we have more footage to use, we will be filming this on Sunday night.

Shooting
In today's lesson we edited some of our music video and discovered that our green screen filming was more unsuccessful than we thought, as when we edited we found that we couldn't edit out some of the green in the first shot that was around the main character, and also in the parts where the main character is playing guitar the green reflects in the guitar as it moves around so we cant edit it out, so we will now have to film the green screen shots again in a different way.
