Filming: Day 2

On our second day of filming, we had shooted the scenes for the introduction of our music video. Because we were filming in the dark room in our school, we did not have to go on a particular location which made it a lot easier for all of us incase we had to pick up anything that we had forgotten from the media department or to charge anything that died while filming.
Using the dark room in the art department for this scene, we had previously planned to play around with lights and shadows to make the introduction interesting, which we did. This was challenging as the dark room was not built for filming and as such did not have enough space for us to move the camera around much, however we worked around that and were able to capture some good footage.

Before filming, we came across a problem where we were not allowed to use the professional lights as some students had broken them beforehand. Instead of rescheduling, we had improvised and used the lights on Kimberley's and Iva's phone which was bright enough for the shots we needed. This had meant that our idea of having filtered lights was not possible to do. Instead, what we had done was use silhouettes of writing from projector paper to create interesting shots. We had wrote the title of the song and the lyrics of the first verse. Filming this, we were able to shoot some more cut aways in case we needed to fill up any spaces in the video. Overall, despite our problems, we had all manged to improvise, take up a challenge and achieve a good outcome.
