Filming Days 1, 2, 3 and 4

Sunday, 25th Sept. 2011 - Day 1

Me, Zoran and Oliver arrived at the location in the early afternoon. It was raining lightly. We then unpacked the equipment - Zoran had brought his tripod and I brought my Son

y DSC W350 HD camera. Oliver had come in the correct costume, including a denim

jacket and Converse shoes. Because it was still raining we decided we would begin with the opening shot, which was a close up of Oliver's eyes. Zoran set up this shot and filmed it. After we had filmed this, we noticed it had stopped raining and the sun was breaking through the clouds, which cast an amber light on the location.

We then decided we would start filming Oliver walking up to the house. I filmed the hand held shot of Oliver walking then stuffing his hands in his pockets to pull out the note. Then I set up the angled shot of the note close up with Oliver walking towards the building in the background. We then continued filming. I stopped at intervals to find insert shots that I could shoot around the location. Me and Oliver then traded jackets to film the last sections of the music video when our main character approaches the building a second time after waking up in bed.

Monday, 26th Sept. 2011 - Day 2

The next day, Oliver and Zoran showed up at my house to begin filming the interior scenes of the inventor's house. We then went about the task of making a mug of coffee for the inventor, played by me, to be seen drinking. We were more limited than we thought by the cramped space in the garage so we could not match the storyboard drawings as well as we thought.

Tuesday, 27th Sept. 2011 - Day 3

The three of us then met at the Arboretum Park in Nottingham the very next day, late afternoon. The weather was perfectly sunny and beautiful. This

Zoran helped film some of the close up shots of the machine and the shots where me and Oliver are acting together. I filmed the shot tilting from the wires of the machine, up to Oliver sat in the chair. After we had filmed almost everything, Zoran set up the last shot of our main character opening the door to the garage and reacting to the absence of the machine. I filmed the point of view shot of Oliver's looking into the empty garage. This was the final shot.

was perfect for the happy, dreamy state of the memory. The main task we found difficult to overcome in such a public location was people walking in and out of shots. With the opening shot of Oliver walking into the park, we found it near impossible not to capture a member of the public walking into shot without tilting the camera up. Zoran filmed a lot of the insert shots of the flowers, while I filmed and set up a lot of the shots of Oliver walking, including the shot on the ground as Oliver's feet walked into frame. After finishing the final shot we had completed the entirety of the narrative shoot.

Sunday, 1st Oct. 2011 - Day 4

Sunday 1st was when the band was available to film as Sunday is their day of practice. So, me and Zoran showed up at Cai's house. Lucy and Lawrence were already there and were keen to start filming. I had brought my camera, with a fully charged battery, while Zoran had, again brought his tripod. I kept the camera angles sheet I had created on me at all times, as well as the storyboard so we could correspond with shots at the right time.

To start Zoran filmed Lawrence playing his drum part, stopping in the middle to change angles so we could see his face more. I then filmed Cai playing his guitar part and miming. I made sure while I was operating the camera to zoom into Cai's face as the vocals begun, as this would enhance the 'star image' of Cai that were trying to create. After Zoran had filmed Lucy performing her bass part for the song, we finished with filmed the entire band. We made sure to have the whole band in most of the shots, frequently focusing on one member of the band at times.

We wrapped filming. Now we had all the shots necessary to compile all the shots we had taken in editing to create our music video.
