Certain restrictions became apparent due to bad weather conditions on the day of filming. It began to rain half way through filming and this became a danger to the technical equipment we were carrying (camera, music player). We had planned to film in the forest, but as our only way of transport was to walk, this idea was soon changed to filming at Netteswell Pond, a public pond very close to our Sixth Form. Thankfully this idea to improvise was successful and worked out well.
Once we had overcome this hurdle. We then had to get down to filming the scenes. We did not film the sequence in order. As our task is to also create a CD cover for a digipak, we took pictures throughout the filming stage, so that the images related to the music video. We did the most part of our filming outdoors at the pond in different areas, however we were once again forced to change our plans and improvise, when the rain became too heavy to stay outside. We ventured back into the school and decided to create a which took place in a location which was suppose to be a bedroom. Here, Louise comes home and is passionately singing along to the lyrics, where she sings into the camera. We thought this would engage the viewer. We also shot some scenes at a piano and in the Cathedral.
I then remembered my previous thought about the audience needs. I remembered that we would be needing to shoot a lot more footage and become a little worried that we would not have enough to fill the song. I then suggested we film some short scenes which I called “fillers”. These were short clips which we may or may not use to fill any gaps that we had missed in our filming process. This was a safe guard, we knew we could always have something to fall back on if needs be.
