Shooting Journal - Day Two

Unfortunately for us on this day we had all met up on time and because it was raining we decided to check if the parks were closed due to BBC's predicted storms, unfortunately for us they weren't which meant we delayed in shooting again! we decided that we would still get ready if the parks were to open up again on a later date.

Finally we had some good news as about midday we checked the site and the parks were open again! When we got there, we went directly to the set that we had planned to shoot at and got filming with no time to waste. As we had two cameras again, we decided that we would split into twos and try and get some shots done, therefore no-one will be left just standing there and we could get more shots done at the some time. Whilst Vicky and I were off filming some shots with Amanda Rogers (me) weaving in and out of trees, spinning and jumping, Keeley and Cary got to filming nature filler shots which consisted of sun spots and panning shots of the empty forest with bright blue skies (believe it or not). After we had all finished that, we grouped together to film some of the specific shots we had written down for black park such as the close-up of feet walking through the forest and the sound of the crushing twigs underneath them, and some of our narrative shots of the red thread.
Then we started to film some lip-syncing shots particularly "and those greens and those blues seem to perfect to be true." Earlier on I had found an area with grass that was so green it looked like it had been taken out f some fairy film an the skies were so blue therefore mimicking the lyrics.We did this by me standing on a tree trunk in a long shot so you can see the green grass and then when I look up, the camera pans up to show the really blue skies. This is a shot we were particularly proud of and was shot by Cary.

We then intended to film some shots by some trees that we thought were good because they went from brown to green leaves at the top representing the way that 'Amanda' was dressed from scruffy boots to an elegant white strapless dress. But the day we decided to film the trees had got more brown and golden giving a vintage feel to our music video, and a blue hue could be seen when playing back footage which worked well with the type and style of our music videos.
