Filming Update 1#

The filming we have done so far has taken place at the garage location as an interior, we filmed a variety of shots covering all the essentials we needed at the time, after that we went back through the song creating some creative concept shots and footage that would be nice extras to have a work into the music video to keep it interesting.

We came across a few problems while filming, mainly involving continuity errors and trying to keep all the background and props the same while having a lot of moving components e.g. cameras and cast.

The lighting of the first scene we had to control, due to the natural lighting from the window being quite inconsistent and darker than we wanted. We overcame this by introducing a new artificial light to the opposite side of the room that had a nice contrasting effect inside that appeared natural but with a slight improvement.

We also had problems in the first filming session with the battery life of the camera itself and the size of the SD card in the camera saving all the footage. We only had enough space in the camera for 2 hours of footage, and the camera battery itself only lasted an hour. We managed to solve the saved footage problem by moving the footage into folders on a memory stick for the class work shared on it, as well as finding the suitable charger for the camera and taking this with us on all of our filming sessions.
