Filming Log

On the second day of filming we were able to film shots of the artist in and around college. This was effective as the viewer will not be able to tell that it was filmed around college. When filming our priority was to get footage of the artist with a cup of coffee, this was for the line where the lyrics said: ' I need to stay awake'. We were able to get this from different angles so that we could choose the best and use this within the video. This worked well even though the room was crowded and busy we were able to overcome this and shoot good footage.
For the second part of the filming we we able to film outside in a forest, this worked well as we had a different location to add in for the performance part of the music video, therefore holding the attention of the audience, so that the video did not seem repetitive. We had a close up of the artist's face while performing sat by a tree. For the second shot in the forest we had the artist walking towards the camera with the forest surrounding him, this was effective as the shot included forest all around him and the lighting worked well as it was quite dark as it was autumn. However whilst filming this shot we had a problem of the artist's head not appearing within the shot as he is tall. To overcome this we had the artist walk towards the camera then back to the starting point many times, this gave us footage of the artist performing without being out of the shot. Having this meant that there was enough footage to choose from for the music video.
