Fliming log 6

Here is a prezi on our log from session 6.

Filming - Log Post Five

Today for filming we went and shot the scenes from the train station, this involved us walking of to the station where the character I play misses the train, however good fortune starts to turn in his favour as my character and the band member played by Liam meet up with the other band member played by Kieran, then then walk off out of the station to go and perform together.  To film this we mainly used long shots as we had to capture the whole area such as the train and bend members, we then finish up with the 3 members walking back up the stairs with myself in the middle, this is to show the unity in the band and how they always stick together, when we meet Kieran he takes my coat as it shows him helping out and being their for his band member. Here is where Andrew and Liam both walked down the stairs, this is too show them waiting for the train but what it also is too show is how Andrew's day keeps getting worse, this is showed here by him missing the train.



This shot here is when the band members are united, they make a dramatic walk of here together to show they are ready to face the troubles together and there to help one another. This is the end of the narrative and where the shots of the band performing begins after.








The only issue we faced with this was that we had to get to the station on time so that their was a train there so we could make it look like Andrew had just missed it but his friend and fellow band member had just turned up. This being Kieran.

Second Filming Lesson Log Two

In the second filming session we began fully filming, in this session we filmed the start of our music video when myself is being kicked out of the house by Sophie, we recorded Sophie throwing boxes at myself and also myself being slapped by Sophie, this is to show the anger Sophie has for Andrew at this point in time and make the throwing out scene look as dramatic as possible since he is being kicked out of the house and at this point appears to have nothing. This begins the sequence of the lip syncing and leads off to very rest of the story where Andrew is meant to be doing some soul searching to find what he must do now.

Here we have a image of when Andrew is being pushed out of the house, we had to make this look dramatic so that it was believable and would lead on well to the rest of the narrative as it is centred around Andrew trying to sort out his life from here on.

First Filming Session Log Post One

In the first filming session we went out with a clear idea that we needed to do some testing first, this was to try and establish from the performance how much room we would actually needed and if it would be possible to get the shots we wanted done, once this was established we then began to do some filming of myself lip syncing with Liam recording. The session was mainly focused on my self and we recorded mostly close u[s and medium close ups as we were getting the solo shots done today. The footage that we are taking from this will be used for either cutaways during the narrative and also when the band is performing at the end. Below are some of the practise shots that were taken of Andrew singing so that we could get a good idea of where to go from here.
