PRODUCTION- Session 7

Today we have recorded our 7th session for our music video unfortunately I was not present for session 6 which one of the girls have documented on. Within this session the team got images for our digi-paks and our music adverts which we can now begin to edit. They also came up with a new concept for the video to make it more understandable to an audience. This idea was that we have 4 singers who are singing to their ex's (this works with our lyrics). This therefore meant we did not have to rely on one specific person to film on all days and we could in fact film all 4 people. Doing this makes it easier for us to film and to provide footage for Hennesha to edit.

As said this did help massively and for session 7 we had 3 out of 4 models to film with. During this session when explaining to the group what our new ideas with one of our dancers have said they feel uncomfortable mouthing the words. This is a dilemma as we have planned to have 4 people mouthing the words. However, we did not need this model for the shoot as we only had time to film 2 of the models so we are hoping that this model will feel more comfortable after watching the other models perform. If the model would still not feel comfortable performing we will look for an alternative that will work with the editing of the video for Hennesha.

In this filming session we followed our new storyboard getting clips of the 2 people putting makeup on whilst mouthing and one of the models table shot when the music will say 'feeling inspired because the tables have turned'. The filming took place in the studio and we aim to either get the other 2 models shots next week or film on location.

Katie- During the session Katie worked hard to ensure she had many different angles and shots for the video for Hennesha to edit. This is something Hennesha has said will help her massively to edit as she has many different shots to use.

Danit- Danit did both models makeup for the shoot inspired by her ideas and ensured the night before that the models had their costumes ready for the shoot. During filming Danit also helped the group set up the lighting and equipment.

Hennesha- For this shoot having Hennesha present helped us massively as a group as she was there to guide us and give feedback as well as telling Katie the type of shots she needed for the editing. Hennesha also helped with setting the space up for the models to perform in and helped with lighting.

Izzy- During this shoot I made sure I was directing everybody correctly to match the storyboard. It was also important that I kept on with time keeping, I picked up the equipment with Katie and helped her set up the equipment. I helped guide the models and also helped with lighting to ensure Katie got the best footage she needed.

Overall when looking over the footage I am very pleased with how the shoot went. We worked extremely well together as a group and all stayed in control of our roles. For session 8 of filming we will either be in the studio filming the other two models or on location depending on which models are available, however, we will make sure we are prepared for both. For the project we are all making sure we are beginning to create our digi-paks and adverts now that we have the images. As well as this Hennesha will also be looking to start editing our final draft and giving us feedback on what she needs in future sessions.
