Day 6 Filming: The Studio

We filmed at the TV Studio at our college once again to film all of Kevin's solo shots which are very important in our music video. We filmed Kevin singing Future's parts in the video from various angles. Filming Kevin was incredibly easy because he knew the lyrics, and he knew the character we were trying to build.

Day 5 Filming: The Studio

On our fifth day, we filmed at the TV Studio in our college again with both Hannah and Kevin present. This didn't take long as both actors knew the lyrics incredibly well and had experience shooting together. We managed to film all of Hannah and Kevin's intimate shots and all of Hannah's solo shots in the studio. However we weren't able to film Kevin's solo shots due to him having an audition. Therefore we will film the remainder of his scenes later on in the week.

Day 4 Filming: Springfield Park

We filmed again at Springfield Park with both Hannah and Kevin. We filmed all of Kevin's solo field shots and also the joint shots of both actors. Our actor Kevin was incredibly prepared and looked great with Hannah. As they are friends and study Performing Arts they had incredibly chemistry and this shows in our footage. We additionally re-filmed some of the shots we originally filmed with Hannah on 20th October because the camera wasn't in focus during certain points and we could now make use of the tripod. Again we were interrupted by people while filming but we had to work around this as we were filming in a public park.

Editing - Stage 1

Using Final Cut Pro on the Mac computers, we started editing today and began to use our storyboard to add certain shots to the timeline. As we all had experience using the software, we all had a fairly good idea of how the use the software, but we all had room for improvement. In terms of our footage we were all happy with the work that we had so far and can't wait to return to filming to complete the video. We worked on all of Hannah's solo parts, as we had scrapped D'Angelo and were looking for a new male actor. We have decided to leave transitions until the video is finished so we can see if it naturally flows well first.

Risk Assesments

Below is a Prezi that contains the Risk Assessment sheets that had to be filled in before the filming process began. All of the forms were signed by us and we took careful consideration when filling them in, aware of all the dangers that were present for us and our actors.

Male Actor Update

Due to our discontent with D'angelo's footage we have decided to use Kevin to play Future in our music video.
