Filming

Everyone in the group was here last friday so we were able to get some of our filming done, we filmed the scene with the homeless man on the bench in the park. We should now have all the footage we need for one of the verses in the song, but we may have a problem with continuity in our video. When we first started filming outside there was still some snow on the roads and the street, and when we filmed on friday there was a lot less snow. We wanted to make it look like it was all on different days by changing the clothing which Jacob was wearing, but the snow could make it look like a continuity error. We are going to leave it for but theres a chance we may have to film some of the scenes again.

Issues with filming

We have been having some issues with filming, we have not been able to stick to our filming schedule. On the days we were supposed to film people in the group have either been ill, had interviews or been on school trips. Another issue is the weather, because it has snowed everything is iced over which could be a hazard when filming. It is also not the right weather that we want to film, so we might have until the snow has gone. Myself, Jacob and Tori should all be here on Thursday and Friday so we have planned to film then.

Audience Research - Font Styles

We have been looking at different fonts to use for our digipacks, we thought it would be a good idea to get some feedback from our target audience. We chose four fonts which we thought would look good and asked students around the college which one they liked the best, these are the four fonts we decided to use:

These were the results:

1. Reklame - 15

2. Capture It - 7

3. Impact Label - 2

4. Seans Other Hand - 1



Filming Delay

We are currently behind on our filming schedule, last week I was ill and couldn't make it into college. The shot what we were supposed to film last week, I was supposed to be in it so we got no filming done. Whilst I was away the group started looking at digipacks and the poster and have narrowed down the choices for which one we will use, I just need to give my opinion so we all decide as a group which is the best one to use.

Beginning Our Production

All of our planning is now done and we have began our filming, we have filmed Jacob holding up the Oh Me Oh My signs in front of green screen for one end shot of the video. It was quite difficult because we had to film shot making sure we could fit him in the shot another four times using final cut, we filmed the shot a number of times so we could use the best take to put in the video. We have also filmed some of the other stop frame animation shots for the chorus, we are using stop frame animation a number of times in the video to spell out Oh Me Oh My. We have tried spelling it out in a variety of ways and we are discussing other ways we could do it.

Risk Assessment

We are not doing anything which would be counted as dangerous when filming our piece, we have a few normal risks which you would come across when filming anything. We will be using green screen for some of our filming so we will have a lot of wires from the lights trailing along the floor so we have to make sure no one will trip over them. There will be some filming done outside so we have to look out for cars etc, also one shot will be filmed next to a pond so we have to be careful and make sure no one falls in. There's a shot in the bedroom where the male in the video gets pushed onto a bed, we just have to make sure he is not pushed too hard because he could get hurt.

Storyboard

This is the storyboard for our video, it took us a while to get this finished because we tried to take timing into consideration. We thought about how long each shot will take and if it would fit with the music. We put a lot of effort into making sure each shot was in time with the correct part of the song so hopefully we wont have to make any changes when filming.
