Filming Log 8

Because of issues from the first shooting of this scene in the music video we had to re-film this park scene, reasons for this were because in the original version we did not have Liam's tripod so a lot of the shots were hand held. In this second attempt at this scene we had also replaced Liam with Lee, this is because Liam had some issues with his leg and could not walk long distances so instead of waiting for him to recover which would of taken time we instead replaced him with another character. We also decided to cut out the scene of me and Sophie together, our key reason for this was because we needed to trim down the narrative so that we could focus more on the band and tell less story which was a big issue in the making of the music video.

When re-shooting this we used a wide variety of angles so that when it came to editing we could cut a lot faster and more on the beat which will look more professional and also fit conventions more of a rock video. In this scene we had Lee and myself meet which was to show part of the band getting together so that it would not look odd in the band shots were from being alone he was now with two other people. Lee and myself walk out of the park together were it then cuts straight to them being together in the band were they are playing their instruments.

Shooting Log Three

 Park scene:

On this day we filmed the shots of Andrew going to the park where he tries to remember the past of the good times him and his ex played by Sophie had together. Andrew has flashbacks here and is met by Liam who helps him out, carries his box and leave together. Shooting for this went really well however we did have two issues which if they hadn't occurred would of made things much simpler. These being the fact that Liam had forgot his tri pod which meant he had to rely on his steady hands which did not go well and the fact that the park we needed was pretty far away and thus meant we had less time to film this scene, however to try and fix this we filmed the shots of Andrew walking whilst lip syncing so that the time hadn't gone to waste, however another issue occurred here where the camera was facing the sun and it drained some of the image away so that it was not at full quality.
