Third Day Filming Evaluation

On this day of filming, we managed to fit in three sections that was on our list of 'things to film'. The main one being the 'now you see me, now you don't' which would be the narrative section of the video. We wanted to film someone younger and in this case it was lucky that I know someone close to my family who was willing to take part. We saw a John Newman video and this is where we found our inspiration... The theme of the visuals was to link with the lyrics - 'gone to find a place for us to hide' - where I would be the mother and Georgia would be the child. Therefore both of us representing the thirteen and thirty five year old in the song. The filming didn't happen how we had pictured it to. It was a lot harder to find a suitable location and even though we had one planned, there were a lot more cars parked around and just didn't have such a good effect. However, we will keep all of the footage because it isn't too bad and once it's edited, it could look better.
The filming that we started with on the day was back at South Weald park in Brentwood. We used this location for our practice filming and when it was fully edited, we loved the outcome! So thought it would be a good idea to re-film for the 'cha cha' section of the song. Filming went exactly to plan - the only problem was the weather! We had checked the forecast and there was a slight possibility of rain, however we needed to film! Thankfully, it was towards the end of the hour and we had already filmed plenty of footage. The lighting was dull but bright enough to film and created an effective look which was perfect to fit in the 'alternative' genre of the song. When we started to film, we was slightly unsure of the outfit - however it grew on us both and actually looks very impressive on screen.

The final filming of the day was a concept idea. It was to use smoke to create a mysterious look. By using a shisha pen I could slowly blow smoke from my mouth which looked placid and cool. We aren't 100% sure that it will be used, however it is something we can experiment with, especially if there will be more concept sections in the video. It only took a short time period therefore it won't be too disappointing if we don't use the footage.
