Diary Account

I got the majority of my filming completed on Saturday 13th November, I took a camera and a tripod to Darenth country park, my friend chloe was with me as I had asked her to be filmed for my music video.We started off doing some running shots up and down a quite lane but soon found that people were using the road so we had to move location to get the right shot.We moved onto a quite area, where there was a large field. It was around midday and I was able to get some really good lighting in this area. Shots I filmed here included hair flicking, running, spinning and the time lapse shots looking out onto the motorway.We then moved into a more covered area of woodland, where we got alot of running shots filmed. The lighting here wasn't as good, as the trees blocked the sun. This meant that the majority of my shots looked dark and I had to edit them into looking lighter. Although I did want there to be some dark shots to fit in with the mysterious/ lost theme I was looking to achieve.
On Sunday I then went to a river bank where there is a small beach. I did some filming here. The weather wasn't very nice and this came across in my filming giving a dark look to the lighting. But this worked well as there girl in the woods was meant to contrast the girl by the river, so have the girl dressed in white in the sun and they the girl in black with the grey sky behind her worked well.

Email for permission

Before I started to decide what I wanted to do for my music video, I thought that I should email the artist Chicane in order to get permission to use his song. Above is the email that I sent to Nicholas Bracegirdle.

I wasn't sure how to get in contact, but after watching the video on youtube i found that xtravaganza had copyright.

Post It Timeline

I planned out what camera angles and effects I wanted to include into my music video and tried to incorporate them into a storyboard. To do this I used sheets of A3 paper that i stuck post- it notes onto so that i could create a time line that i could alter easily. I drew quick sketches of what would appear in each shot and also a brief note of what would be happening such as pans or if its a following shot etc. I also figured out my timings and wrote them at the top corner of the post it so that there was a continual timeline. most of my timings were between 1 second and 4 seconds per shot, as I found that anything over 4 seconds would be too long of a shot. This storyboard will prove very good to have as I now know what camera angles and effects I want and where they will be appearing in the video. Below is an example of my storyboard sheets:

Below is the temporary video that I made to get practise on Adobe Premiere Pro and to get the right timings.

Assets list

Here is a list of equipment that I require for filming:

A video camera and a tape for the camera.

A tripod.

A pole to secure camera to and maybe some tape to secure it better.

A fan to create wind effect and

A white dress for costume along with trainers, another thing that i will need is some fabric so that i can do a shot with it blowing in the wind.
