Studio Filming

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.

Fire & Lane shooting

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.

Fire Shooting 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.

Fire Filming

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.

Shooting Problems

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.
