Practice Music Video- Filming Part 2

After coming to the realisation that we did not have sufficient amount of film to fill the entire song, we decided to go back out and do some more filming. We used our double media lesson and ran through break getting everything finished, however I now feel that we have enough film to carry us through.

We had planned much of what we hoped to film, however ideas were changed on the day and developed to suit the restraints we incurred. This was apparent when we needed to shoot the "date scene" it would be a short clip used as a flash back in the final video of Britney Spears on a date which is going wrong. We all assumed that this scene would be filmed in the cafe to create the impression that they were in a restaurant. However, in reality this setting did not live up to our expectations and so we moved on to a bench outside where we see this scene play out in a similar form. I actually preferred this outcome as the clip was much more lucid than the "date scene" we had originally planned.

We then went on to film some more flashbacks as well as the "filler clips" I spoke of before. These are clips where Britney will look into the camera etc, and these can be used to fill any gaps we may have.

We then needed to find three different settings to film the final chorus. This is the mian part of the song so we wanted to go somewhere that would reflect this. As it was a nice, sunny day we decided to go over to Netteswell Pond and film here. This turned out to be a great success and the three separate locations all worked out well.

In conclusion the day of filming was very productive and I feel we have finally finished filming for the video now. In my next lesson I hope to continue with editing the video so that we can complete this task adequately.
