Wednesday

Today I got a lot of my filming done in two of my locations. We first checked the tide and sunset times for New Brighton beach to ensure that the beach would be available and to ensure that we got there in time to have the sun setting in the video. However, this is the section of my filming that I will have to re-film. I did not take into account the cloudy weather and so the sunset and beautiful sky that I wished for did not show through the clouds. Also, I did not realise how dark it got very quickly and so I was still using my camera without a light and so a lot of my filming is too dark to see. I realised near the end of this section of filming that I needed a light but only had time to take 2 videos. These both look very good and will hopefully be used in my over all music video. I will be arranging a meeting with my actors again to re-film this section.

I also filmed a film in my back garden with sparklers. This is an effect which I really like but the lighting in my test shots was not great. This time, to make the garden look better and also to provide more light, I put fairy lights along a straight washing line at the bottom of the garden and also on a tree so that this effect would be in the background. I also used the camera with a light so that it would pick out my actors. I managed to get a huge amount of filming done with the sparklers and I have more than enough shots to choose from for my music video.
