We started filming our music video on Friday 25th November and it proved to go better than we expected. Compared to last year, our first day of filming is a great achievement that our whole group was pleased with. I feel that our first day of filming was good because we knew what we wanted to do before we actually started shooting instead of 'improvising'. Also we made use of the time we were given using every minute that counted which allowed us to finish earlier than the amount of time given.
During the first day of filming we set out to use a piano in the drama studio for Byran to use. The reasoning behind this is because during the beginning of our song, there is an intro with the piano being played that we wanted to implement in our video. However before we could start filming, we had to set up the piano and the scene we wanted to portray, so we set up the piano and dimmed the lights to give a spotlight affect on the piano so that the viewer will only be watching the piano and the person on it.
While Jeremiah was filming Byran lip sync, i played the track in the background in order to help Byran keep in sync and to allow syncing with the actual track easier in adobe premiere when editing. After filming the piano scene, we thought that we would have enough time to film a few more scenes so we went to a field trying various scenes and shots but at around 4 o'clock we deemed that it was too dark to carry on filming and we called it a day.
We learnt from the first day of filming that even though our time management was better than last year, we still needed better judgement to think that we would not have finished filming before it got dark.
