Filming Day Five 31/01/14 (Sabrina)

Today Emma and I filmed the 'male' style scene for our music video. We got this done very quickly because of our previous experience with other shots so we knew what problems we may come across so we avoided them and it went quite smoothly today. Before we started filming I did our female leads make up and then we styled her clothes how we wanted them. We brought in a blazor, shirts and trourser to create a manly look.

For the make up on Emily I made her eyebrows darker and 'bushier' like a man and I also drew a very obvious and stylised mustache. I did this because we were not trying to convince anyone that she was a man but rather just dressing up as one for fashion sake.

 Her clothese were quite stereotypical mens attire and we dicided to use (gender) neutral colours to reinforce that she is only 'dressing up' as a man.

We then began filming for our music video we told our our model which dance moves to do to represent a man, which was quite cahllanging we found that alot of the the scenes was just Emily doing manly mannerisms whilst miming the song. We made her feel at ease by dancing with her and playing the correct song on a phone. We managed to get the filming done much faster again which is a real benefit in finding times that the room with the lights is free because we no longer take very long. We found the shot effective and work well in our video

Organisation (Emma)

To get hold of Emily to make sure she was free to do some filming the next day I got her number so I was able to contact her. This made it easier for us to sort out which days we were anle to do our filming and find out if she was in college that day or not.

Organization (Sabrina)

Scheduling time when we was all free was one of the hardest things about organizing the project. We decided to work around our actors as they was doing us a favor.

Filming Day Four 18/12/2013 (Emma)

Today Sabrina and I filmed the 80's style denim scene for our music video. We got this done very quickly because of our previous experience with other shots so we knew what problems we may come across so we avoided them at all costs today. To start with, Sabrina did our female leads make up (Blue eye shadow, bright red lips) and then we styled her clothes how we wanted them. We brought in denim jackets and shirts and I brought a loose piece of denim I had cut off a skirt that we used for her headband.

After we had styled our model, I set up the camera in order for it to be the same distance and type of shot as our previous shots, I did this by checking it against pictures of our old shots.

Through previous experience of filming, we knew that the lighting was sometimes difficult to match to each shot, so Sabrina changed the settings of the box lights while I watched the camera screen to tell her which setting was light enough.

 

We then began filming for our music video, telling our model which dance moves to do to match the 80's denim style. We made her feel at ease by dancing with her and playing the correct song on a phone. We managed to get the filming done much faster than before which is a real benefit in finding times that the room with the lights is free because we no longer take very long.
