Location Updates

Originally, I wanted to film in Lincoln, but due to band problems and reliability issues, I had to move my filming to Market Rasen. I used Dan's house on Jameson Bridge Street for the house scene, Queen Street and Linwood Road for the street scenes, Tesco for the second bench scene, and De Aston School upstairs Drama room for the whole of the performance.

Changes To The Cast #3

I am no longer using George Nearn in my music video as he has let me down when I thought I could rely on him. I will be bringing in Jack Sherlock to take his place on the drums.

Editing update #2

I have now finished the narrative of my music video in the editing process. It is looking like what I wanted it to be like so far and all I need to do now is to edit my performance so a standard that I am happy with.

Filming Update #2

I have now filmed the performance part for my video. I did this on Tuesday 28th October after school in the upstairs drama studio. The things I struggled with was mainly getting all the equipment up there as a lot of it is quite heavy. Other than that, everything ran smoothly and I was able to complete the performance in an hour and a half. I have no other filming to do as I have got both the narrative and the performance parts fully filmed.

Editing Update #1

I have edited the majority of my narrative so far. All I need to edit for the narrative now is the main character/vocalist walking round the streets at night. The editing process was fairly simple as I had got myself a lot of footage for the narrative which I could go through and find the best clips for each stage of the video. I have got a mixture of long and short takes within the narrative so I am able to mix it up a bit.

Filming Update #1

I have filmed all of my narrative over two days, the 9th and 10th of October, and I am now waiting for people to be available to be able to film my performance which is all I need to do. Overall, those two days were very successful as it didn't take long for me to get all of the footage I needed. The things I struggled were the part where Dan was walking up the stairs to a bench as I had to do a pan/zoom out shot and I found it quite difficult as I don't have a steady hand. Another thing I struggled with was the zooming in shot of Dan as he got up and walked away from the camera. Some people really annoyed me, first reason being that the previous main character I had chosen, (Callum), had filmed the house scene perfectly, and then when I needed to film the street scenes, I asked him if he was free the night before and he said he was, but the next day I got a text saying "I really cba tonight, can't you get someone to fill in?" So I sacked him from the main character role and chose Dan instead as he is more reliable. The second thing that really took me to the edge was that the band I was in and formed myself had agreed to do my performance for me, but every time I tried to film it, someone wouldn't show up. I then tried to organise a day where I could do it without two people that weren't even involved in this project, and I then got kicked out of it. So I couldn't do any filming for the performance whatsoever.
