Progress Report - 12th October





Today we went to London Victoria Station, to get shots of Mike, Tommy and Louise. Firstly we planned to use the station as a transition shot, we placed Tommy in the centre a medium shot then left the camera for 30seconds, we plan to speed up this shot so we can use it as a transition shot.


We then filmed a 360 degree shot of Tommy along with an establishing shot.

We then filmed two indetical shots with different actors in them so when editing we will be able to layer the two shots.




We also went to Camden today as we needed to get some intimate shots of Tommy to fit in with the plot of the music video, we also took some contrasting shots between the two couples which will show how Tommy has not moved on from his relationship.

Progress Report - 10th October





In today's filming, we went to one of our group members house (Mike) and filmed a scene that involved Louise 'cheating' on Tommy, we used the spotlight to get the correct lighting for the room, as there would be close ups involved. We positioned Tommy in the corner of the bedroom so we got get a close up of his face singing then slowly pan down to the bed where Johnny and Louise lay, we thought this shot will be good, as it links directly the relationship between the couple. Our filming today lasted 2 hours as we had alot of takes, with different camera angles, positions and lighting. All in all we were able to get the right shots we needed to progress our music video further.

Progress Report - 5th October

In today's session we used the footage we had already filmed to get a general outline of where possible shots could fit in to the music video, we did this by using Final Cut which allowed us to upload our song on to it and see what shots needed to go where in the sequence.

Progress Report - 3rd October

Today, we used the bedroom location outlined in our location list, we filmed in this location as we needed to get footage of our couple in bed together. We used mainly handheld shots in today's filming to create intimate shots of the couple, we also used different types of lighting to see what effect they would have on the shot. Today's filming was a success as we were able to gain the right footage neccessary for our music video.
