PLAN FOR THE NEXT 5 WEEKS

1. Film the beginging scene 
2.  Edit the beginning part - shot of one of the character over dosing we will be using 360 shot and bring intense lights to emphasise the hallucination. we will use different angle shots to make the scene more intense. 
3. We will also shoot the ending scene. 
4. Redo some of the shots again as the camera was not held steadily so therefore we need to go Waterloo and film the same shot however, this time we will be using a tripod.
5. If possible we will try to shoot the party scene by this week.

FILMING UPDATE

Today day we went to waterloo station to shoot some of the footage. As we are coming to the end of completing our music video , we released that we still had gaps in our timeline final cut pro.as a result we decide to top top waterloo station and shot some footages to fill up the final cut pro timeline. we needed more shots of the two friend doing different things in different outfit so that we can use it as a flashback. we decided to use mainly pov shots.

we decided to use pop shot through out this scene. we achieved the pot shot  through the use of canon digital  camera. The use of hand-held camera the movement of an observer. A shot of the observer may appear subsequently to confirm whose POV it is. POV shot shows a view from the subject's perspective. we edited it in such a way that it is obvious whose POV it is.we used pop shot to emphasise their good time.

 straight after filming we added the footage final cut pro and edited it. we decided to make the clip faster to add excitement to it and we also combined to of the footage to make it look more creative.here is what we did....

PLAN FOR HALFTERM

1. TAKE PICTURES FOR THE CD COVER
2. FILM THE BEGINNING OF THE MUSIC VIDEO 
3. FILM THE END 
4. FILM THE PARTY SCENE 

FRAMING , COMPOSITION AND LIGHTING

This extreme close up shot helps to call attentions to the subject making them more memorable. we used this extreme close up shots to allow the viewer to enter the characters intimate space, revealing certain characteristics and emotions that would otherwise go unnoticed from far. we wanted to emphasise the characters emotions so that the audience sympathises with the character. The extreme close up view intensifies feelings that the character is experiencing  and  establish a connection with the character and make every subtle expressions and details much more apparent. it emphasises the dramatic importance of the scene.

This is also a good shot as we used a wide shot to emphasise the location around the character. We used a library setting to show or emphasise intellectuality of the characters.
The bright natural setting makes the scene appear more vibrant and also exposes the innocence of the characters.

We used mid- shots to emphasise the closeness between the characters.

In these shots, the background shot hardly remains again to highlight the bond the characters both share. The image on the right shows the city lights giving the scene a calm and a relaxing feeling. The shot also allow the viewer to pick up on the character's movements and gestures.

FINAL CUT PRO EDITING (1)

This is what we have done today on Final Cut Pro.

ALTERNATIVE IDEA FOR THE PARTY SCENE

We loved the high music video due to the angle that has been used in the video. We also loved the way the model is always placed at the centre which reveals the importance she holds in the music video.
The angle or the way the camera is held is what we want to use for the party scene in our music video. Originally in the high music video, the model is wearing a harness that is attached to a tripod; however due to financial issues, we found an inexpensive way of recording in the same angle but using different resources and techniques.

Here is the result of us experimenting with the steady camera:

We are thinking of using the steady camera in Shoreditch/Brick Lane or Camden.
