I managed to get a load of footage today since the rain held off and the weather was great. I think I got some really good shots and managed to film in 3 different locations therefore I can now begin to edit my music video.
I encountered a couple of problems whilst filming. Firstly I planned to film one of my locations down the fruit area in the old town however when we got there a lot of the buildings were under construction and were boarded off however this turned out great since we was asked by one of the warehouse owners if we wanted to film in his museum type building which made a great location for her to steal the wine. As we were leaving we found a set of three painted doors in red, orange and green that all had different faces. I was going to film down an alley with graffiti however I think these three doors looked a lot better and linked in with the theme of drug abuse better since the faces represent her change in personality when she takes the drugs and drinks the alcohol.
It was also a very sunny day which made some of the shots hard to get due to shadowing and the shot being too bright. For example I wanted to film Maia coming out of the tunnel however the sun created my shadow to project onto Maia's clothes which isn't very professional therefore I had to change the angle of the shot.
The props that I used today were:
- A wine bottle (Around £4, Asda)
- An old pill bottle(Around £2, Asda)
- Eyeliner (£2.99, Superdrug)
- Face wipes (£2, Superdrug)
Therefore the day was inexpensive and minimal whilst very enjoyable.
