Filming 5/12/2010

Emily and myself filmed in Cheshunt by St Mary's church last night. We completed all the footage we intended to get and have been successful in making our shots interesting.
We experimented with using the lantern to light her face from the side but this wasn't enough. I then parked my car next to the field and put my full beam lights on. This created an effective and successful light because it lit up Georgia as she performed and we could still see it was night but it wasn't too bright.

Today we did some more editing. First we tried to fill in any missing gaps we have with extra film.
During spare time Sam added some transitions. First he added some fade to whites inbetween the first 3 shots. Then he added a sun glimmer too the running shots.

Extra filming

After a meeting with our tutor Mrs Allison we have decided we need a variation in our shots. Because of this we will film more footage on the 5th of December. We will be filming Georgia lip syncing but we will be doing this in the dark as an experimentation of different lights. We will use a soft light from a lantern to illuminate her face. If this is not enough light we will use parking lights on my car as a back lighting so it's not too bright.

Changes to the first cut

As a group we have come to the conclusion that using the train in the opening of our production will not work. This is because compared to the rest of our shots it looks too mechanical. We want the music video too look natural like our influences, such as the movie Woodstock and the Pre Raphalite paintings we looked at.
