Filmed three shots in the Long Road Six Form Library
(when the pretty woman catches the eye of the average guy)
Shot 1:
- went really well, shotlist came in very handy
- filmed Alicea(pretty woman) walking towards the camera
problems with Shot 1:
- problems faced with doing a side on angle on the walk because it was unsteady and couldn't be acheive with the use of the dolly as the tripod could get low enough. Hence having Alicea walk towards the camera.
Shot 2:
- the other shot worked great with height advantage for the camera which covered all the areas needed for the actors to work in.
problems with Shot 2:
- no problems with that apart from finding the right angle with enough height and distance to have the whole location in the background as me and Alicea acted in the foreground.
Shot 3:
- final shot in the library with the final shot of the average guy singing after the pretty woman passes him by.
- this went well after testing diferent angles to filming in. the end result worked well.
problems with Shot 3:
- problem was lip synching at times but was overcome by playing the song in the background to make it work better with trail and error improving the overall performance of the lip synching
Filmed three shots outside the lockers of Long Road Six Form College
(where the pretty woman meets the cool talking player)
Shot 1:
- slight problems occured before hand with cleaning out my locker and making it look more girly using props such as a girl magazine and a pink folder
- great use of shots with rotating camera pan of Alicea and Perry acting
- get a great idea of a touch of comedy when perry(the player) pops up from behind the locker door after remaing hidden which works extremely well as camera angle has Alicea look more 2d making it more of a surpise when the locker door is closed to find the player there.
problems with Shot 1:
- use of dolly was brilliant but problems appeared when the dolly path was obstucted by other lockers to get the desired angles we wanted but was overcome with smooth steady filming by Josh
Shot 2:
- is a over the shoulder angle of Alicea looking at Perry asking her out
- is a refreshed new way of doing a close up of each character when they are interacting with each other
problems with Shot 2:
- slight problem with shot bloopers but was avoided by trail and error technique until we created a impressing angle to portray the view Alicea has
Shot 3:
- final shot outside lockers showing Perry(the player) give Alicea his number, done well with good acting and body language with no on screen bloopers when it came down to filming
- camera angles was mid range to show reaction of both characters as they acted and looks realistic enough to work
problems with Shot 3:
- none simple shot required no talking
Filmed three shots of Jewellery shopping
(Alicea goes shopping after a date with Josh(the buisness man))
Shot 1:
- Josh walks Alicea home through a shopping mall after a date
- test footage of corridor filming technique worked brilliantly here as Josh and Alicea walk towards the camera.
- Walking talking to each other, telling jokes for the purpose of body language between the two (as diegetic sound will be muted for the song) and sharing eye contact to maintain the illusion of romance we are trying to create
problems with Shot 1:
- main problem here was strange looks from the general public, didnt stop us that much and planning a route for Josh and Alicea to walk so they were close enough to the jewellery store as well as a route good enough for the dolly to follow and film them. Final route chosen made the bullet points above appear much better, in my opinion.
Shot 2:
- Alicea grabs josh's hand and drags him towards a jewellery shop
- Camera angle used was a mid range shot of the both of them with the dolly following them side on and then behind them as they looked at the jewellery leading onto the next shot nicely
problems with Shot 2:
- problem here was one only as a member of the public walked in front of the camera while filming. We decided to use this to our advantage of him being a extra that made this shot more realistic. A decision to mention his contribution to this music video in the credits is still undecided.
Shot 3:
- in the final shot showing Alicea and Josh both pointing out peices of jewellery they like
- this was done with a close up of a over the shoulder camera angle so we could get the outline of both Josh and Alicea in their characters pointing out the jewellery they like. This worked well as the detail we got of the jewellery was incredible
problems with Shot 3:
- this shot was accomplished with no problems and was done in one take.
I think thats conclude our progression of the music video in the first night of filming
thanks for reading
