Yesterday, 4th December, we were able to film our narrative clips, the actors that we had originally decided to use in our narrative could not make it on that day as it was at such short notice. Although this was an issue we found that we had planned that Tom and I would be the back up actors incase our original actors were unable to make it. I felt that we were focused and committed to the tasks that were given and because of this we feel that our footage will have come up well.
Our locations stayed the same using the photos that were taken, found in my planning. the field that we were using was perfect as the weather held off for us and it was not neither sunny nor dull, which worked with that specific shots that we were taking.
The contrast between the two different types of bedrooms that we were using connoted a range of feelings for example; the red and white walls showed passion but also loneliness compared to the light that was found in the other bedroom as it is dark, using colours such as blue and black which again shows loneliness but the blue connotes sadness and lack of emotion.
We have had a few problems with our actors, we were planning to film our Performance part of our music video today and everything was fine, until the bus which our actor had to take to arrive at the school was cancelled and had been taken in for service. From this we have decided to change the date of filming to tomorrow (friday 2nd december) but this will be a problem as we will have limited time to film, we feel that we will be able to get most of it done and if anything has not been filmed by this time we will have to arrange another date to film the parts that we feel that we need.
We know have decided the date that we are filming is going to be on the 1st of December which is a Thursday, so we had to go round to the sign management team to make sure that it would be okay for us to book out 'the pit'. We was originally booked to film on the 29th of November but we felt this was not going to work as it was too short notice and our actor could not get to the school. By choosing our new date we know for definite that everything has been booked and we have our location.
We thought about who would we use for our actors, and who would be a good reliable person and whether they went to our school, but i remembered that one of my close friends from my old school is a massive Michael Buble fan, but also took drama. We thought that he (Tommy) would be perfect as he has the acting skills from drama and the fact that he is a big fan of Michael Buble helps us; knowing that he will know the words. We have already asked him if he would do it and he has said yes, he lives around where i live so it will not be a problem to lift share to get to places and he is mainly always available other than Wednesdays.Our other actors we still havent completely decided on, but all three of them are willing to do it, or at least help out with being in the video, and one of them also took drama along said Tommy, which also shows that she (Vicky) will be capable to act along side whoever we cast to be the male role of the boyfriend. She lives around my area we well as so again it will be easy to life share, if we decide that we are going to film in Saffron Walden/Cambridge/Bishops Stortford etc.
