Today we filmed our first scenes for our music video. The location we filmed in was the BOA studio like we had planned. We managed to shoot the photographer scene, the makeup scene and also got some added shots which we may consider to use with the video also.
Katie filmed the shots- We did not book out a tripod due to the shots we were taking however, we learnt that Katie's arms became tired as we were filming for quite a long time. This was something we should have considered and will defiantly consider for our next filming session. Katie also helped set up the studio to help filming.
Danait did the models hair and makeup- Danait brought in her own clothes for the model and also did her makeup and hair before shooting. She also helped to dress the others in the video to ensure they looked right for the part.
Hennesha- Hennesha ensured she was helping the team at all time by giving imput, holding lighting and playing the music as well as bringing in things from home to help with the shoot.
Me- During this I made sure I was giving the models direction throughout as well as giving my imput with filming and lighting and scene changes. I also focused on keeping time and being organised with filming. This is something I hope to change for the next session as we did find ourselves running out of time towards the end of the shoot. I will therefore make sure next time we have more hours to film to make sure we are getting the right shots for Hennesha to edit. I also helped set up the studio to start filming.
For our next session we are planning to go off site to film more for the video such as the girl walking down the street with headphones and the dancing scene.

PRODUCTION- Session 2
Today we met to audition people to dance for our video. The location we auditioned in was a dance studio in BOA. The audition was successful we had a large group of people show and we chose on 3 people to perform alongside our model.
Katie focused on where the dancers would be in terms of the camera as well as choreographing the dance routine and teaching it to the people who were auditioning. Danait discussed with the dancers regarding the costume they'd be wearing as well as the various location we'd be filming in. She ensured that the costume chosen was durable as well as flexible so that it wouldn't restrict their dancing. Hennesha was in the room helping us to choose what dancers would work best for our video. I was focusing on how this would look on camera and what style of dancers we needed for the video as well as making sure it was all organised.
For our next session we hope to record the studio scenes with our model and dancers filming the photographer scene and makeup scene.

PRODUCTION- Session 1
Today we carried out a test shoot for out music video. We hired out cameras and equipment we had planned to use to test out what possible shots would look like for the video. The location we did this in was our studio within in BOA, this is because many of our scenes will be filmed in there for the photography scene, the makeup scene and also for images for our digi-pak.
When doing this camera woman Katie focused on key angles to see which looked good for the video and if they would work in terms of editing when Hennesha comes to editing it it will look effective. During this Danait focused on the hair makeup and costume of the model brainstorming possible ideas as well as choosing the location within the studio. She also took a key role ensuring that the lighting was suitable as well as flattering for the model. I focused on directing the model and telling her where to go as well as directing the rest of the group throughout.
From this session we got a better understanding of the equipment and how it works as well as time in the space so we are fully prepared when it comes to filming. We learnt that we need to use a special lens to ensure we are getting the best shots with the best quality and in focus as this was a difficulty we had in today's session.
For our next session we are meeting with potential dancers to audition them for the video.
