Second Part Of Filming Analysis - Wednesday 27th January

For the second part of the filming process of the production of our music video we used a wood and field setting. The area we used was a wood and field in New Ash Green.

The whole group came together for filming on this day, as we went straight from school to Dartford to buy balloons and string to hang in the trees and place on the ground for particular shots. After, Myself and Nathan drove straight to Charlotte's house to get her ready and pick her up and then went to meet Georgia and Carli, who were waiting at New Ash Green.

We spent a few hours taking possible photos that we may be able to use as part of the ancillary tasks, which we later found out wouldn't actual work due to the quality of both the camera and the composition of the shots.

The day was very productive as we all tried to contribute as many different shot ideas and interesting camera angles as possible. In this way, after the filming day, we had a great deal many more ideas than before. So, when we went back to school for a media lesson two days later we were able to put together the new ideas and thwated ideas from previous discussions that we had tried on this day, and so, were resultedly able to gain a much clearer picture of the overall project in terms of what would work, what would not work, what we wanted the end result to look like etc.

One of the shots that we were experimenting with, as a possibility of using as one of the photographs in one of the ancillary tasks. It didn't work!
