Filming Finished!!


Today we finally finished filming on our location. Even though it was windy and raining, we managed to get by! the good thing was that we finished filming early and we was on schedule this time. Also as we was going along the locations, we came up with new ideas on what to include which is a bonus!

However we still need to shoot two more footage for the video and then we would be done. Hopefully we should be doing the filming sometime this week.

Here are some photos we look while we was filming.

Filming


Today we started filming the first half of our music video. Even though the weather was not that great, we were prepared for the British weather, but thank god there was no rain!!

However as we was filming there was complications which set us back for a while, which took up some of our time. As a group we took into account the problems but hoping that it wouldn't happen and if it did, we would try to solve the issue as soon as possible.
 A problem which occurred was when was doing the photo booth scene, the booth screen stopped working half way then we had to try and get our money back from the management which was time consuming as their office was at the other side of the shopping centre. As this was our first location, it wasn't a smooth start but as soon as we got it sorted we started filming again.

As the first location took long, we were already behind schedule. The next problem we had was that we was originally supposed to film at the Stratford Westfield bridge, as people kept walking by the camera, we had to keep stopping and filming again which was expected as we was filming in a public area. 

Originally, we was supposed to film the whole music video in one day, but due to the delay of time and it was getting darker earlier, we only managed to film the first half of the music video . However we decided to make plans to film the rest of the music video the following week and get the editing done after half term.

Reece:Photos

Here are Photos of the locations which we decided to go to:


 This is the First scene where the male lead is sitting on the bench, where he gets the break up text from. This location is suitable for filming as there is not alot of people and is quite which makes it easier for us to film without any distractions





At this location our male lead is gonna be lip-sychning towards the camera. we decided to choose this location due to its scenery in the background as there is a landscape of London which makes the location seem more appealing.





We have chosen this location due to the quiet space, as not alot of people walk through this pathway. Also the location fits in well with our song, as this is where the characters will meet for the first time.






This is the loaction under the tunnel, where it represents the males loneliness, as he trying to get over the break-up. which is why we have chosen this location becuase it represents his emotions.






For this scene, the characters are lying down together which is used as a flashback. We have chosen this location because it shows a romantic vibe as it is a clear scene of where they are.








We have chosen this scene to be the last location. This is because it shows that the male has moved on with his life as the river represents this scenery and idea which we are trying to give off






 
This location was in Walthamstow Shopping Centre, where we would do the photo booth scene.

Lyrics

Lyrics to Owl City - Take It All Away



There was a shot in the dark,
I was caught by surprise
There was a hole in my heart,
There were tears in your eyes
And there was nothing to say,
Cause you made up your mind
And so I guess what you meant
When you left was goodbye.

Pre-chorus:
So if your gonna go,
And leave me in a lonely gray
I won't let it show,
Until you finally float away

Chorus:
You gotta know that you tear me up
When you say you wanna take it all away, take it all away
You tear it up when you say
You wanna take it all away, take it all away!
You were the one, and it was enough
To be the one you were dreaming of!
You were the one and we called it love
And now you take it away, take away!
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/owl-city-take-it-all-away-lyrics.html ]
I felt a pain in my chest with your kiss on my cheek
And as I tried to digest the words I couldn't believe
I'm left with nothing to say with my heart on my sleeve
Making it easy to hurt, and even harder to breathe

Pre-chorus:
So if you gonna go,
And leave me in the lonely gray
I won't let it show,
Until you finally float away

Chorus: (x2)
You gotta know that you tear me up
When you say you wanna take it away, take it away
You tear me up when you say
You wanna take it away, take it all away!
You were the one, and it was enough
To be the one you were dreaming of!
You were the one and we called it love
And now you take it away, take away!
You take it all away, you take it all away

Recce

Today Our group took photos of the possible locations to do our shooting. Before going on location, we planned out where we was going to go so we would know where we are going and printed out release forms to get permission to film . We went around Greenwich such as  Cutty Sark, the cafes and Island Gardens Park. Also we went to Westminister Namco and  Walthamstow shopping Centre.
We wanted to use locations that were near to each other which would be convenient for us and wouldn’t be time consuming due to travelling.

Auditions


Today our group has decided to hold auditions for people to feature in our production. We needed one boy and one girl to be part of the romance/ breakup of the music video.  The two characters we have chosen were from the performing arts department; therefore we will definitely know that they already have good acting skill. This will benefit us while filming.  At the end we chose Charlotte Read for female role and Tyler Drew for the main male lead.
We have also chosen another person to be our photographer during the times when we are filming, to show the behind the scenes.
