Some sneaky footage :)

This is a couple of scenes that I have put on here to have a sneaky look at. Hope you like!

Digipack design progress

This is an image of my digipack design so far. I have the titles, sides, song list, institutional logos, production credits and barcode, and just have the images to put in now. I am happy with my progress so far and will be taking the photographs this week.

Snow and FIREEE!

The snow is finally starting to melt after freezing -16 conditions! Due to a 4x4 I managed to get up into Derbyshire, unfortunately it wasn't a filming day, but I did manage to get some stills of a campfire to experiment with how I could make some shots look like. I was very pleased with the result and hope to be able to get back there soon and do some filming! In addition to this, I found a nice position inside a little cave, then when shot back outside gave a really nice silhouette effect. 

The snow is still falling all around us...

It has now been snowing none stop for six days running and the conditions outside are terrible. There is over 2 foot of snow on the roads. College has been shut due the poor traveling conditions. On the bright side, I already have some filming equipment with me which means I might be able to get some more filming done. However, the big problem is getting anywhere as we are all literally snowed in. I hope to take some pictures for the CD cover and website and possibly do some of the indoor scenes if possible.

Weather advice

Bilborough College will unfortunately remain closed on Thursday 2nd December due to the expected weather conditions and their impact on travel arrangements.

First shoot.

This is a report of my first real shoot, which went really well! I would like to thank Sophie Trueman and Seth Walker for being so amazing as well as putting up with the freezing cold snowy weather. We have shot the solo performance scene and the churchyard scene for the very end. Due to the weather, we hardly had any disturbances, just a few dog walkers wondering what we were up to! The shoot went really well and I got plenty of footage. I believe that shooting everything a few times payed off as it reduces the likelihood of having to re-shoot. Sophie was brilliant, already knowing all the lines to the song and singing them properly, so that the lip syncing looks brilliant.

Snow!

Good news! The snow is falling all around us which I was hoping for as things look so much nicer in the snow! I am hoping to get some really nice looking snow shots for a few scenes and I am hoping that this will also add drama and emotion to my music video!

Filming dates scheduled...

Ok, so I have worked out a rota that suits myself and my actors, which is to film on a Wednesday afternoon and every weekend for definite. This means that I will always have some footage to edit in my lessons on Monday and Thursday. We have then agreed to do extra filming whenever we have the time, even if its only a few hours each time.
