Filming Diary

Filming diaries 


1.
For our first filming session we mainly were practicing for when we start properly filming. We kept all our filming in our sixth form common room after school so it wasn't too busy.
We filmed the two actors laughing and sitting together, we are hoping this will be for the beginning of the video where we show the actors as being friends before the dynamics change, we had the actors talking and laughing in the sixth form common room, had them walking down a corridor as if they were coming back from a lesson, again laughing and talking together, them we had them walking out the door but the male actor holding the door open for the female actor, we are hoping to contrast this with a later shot of the male actor walking straight out of the door and shutting it on her.


2.
For our second filming session we mainly practiced lip-syncing for certain parts of our video. We wanted to see what the actor’s skill level was for lip-syncing before we started to film.
We filmed the actors in front of a white background; we gave them a few lines to lip sync and tried out lots of different ways to make it as realistic as we could. We tried them singing the lines to make it more like they are actually singing it. This method worked well and we are hoping to use it when we start properly filming our lip-syncing parts.


3.
For our third filming session we had a few lip-syncing parts for our female actress. We did all our filming in front of a white wall for this particular part.
We filmed her lip-syncing to a few lines of the song, we chose these lines as they are the more important lines and we felt having her sing them in the video would put more emphasis on the lines.
We experimented with lots of different angles and positions to find ones that worked well in that particular shot and I think we did this well.


4.
For our forth filming session we had a few lip syncing and solo acting parts for our male actor. We did all our filming in a quiet area where there was not much disturbance.
We filmed him lip-syncing to a few lines of the song, we chose these lines as they are the more important lines
and we felt having him sing them in the video would put more emphasis on the lines.
We experimented with lots of different angles and positions to find ones that worked well in that particular shot and I think we did this well.


5.
For our fifth filming session we had a few parts where our male actor was sitting outside. We did all our filming on a road close to us where he was walking alone.
We filmed him walking outside alone as this part would be put right at the end of the video where they had gone their separate ways.
We experimented with lots of different angles and positions to find ones that worked well in that particular shot and I think we did this well.


6.
For our sixth filming session we had a few parts where both our male and female actors were sitting and walking outside. We did all our filming on a road close to us where they were walking both together and alone.
We filmed them walking outside alone as this part would be put right at the end of the video where they had gone their separate ways.
However we also filmed them together as this part would be put nearer the beginning of the video.
We experimented with lots of different angles and positions to find ones that worked well in that particular shot and i think we did this well.
