Shooting Diary

The dates my group did our filming for the music video were on sunday the 27th of February and the 6th of March for the narrative part in the house location. and the 1st of March and the 8th of March for the band part of the video set in the abandoned school. For the narrative part me and my partner alternated between the use of the camera and acting and even at some points did both at the same time. For the directing part the camera operator would double up as a director to make filming run more efficiently and smoothly. This gave us an oppurtunity to show off acting and camera work skills at the same time. Generally the parts with Eve in the shot I was doing the filming and vice-versa. For the band section, Eve did the filming on the 1st of March and I did the filming on the 8th. Who ever wasn't doing the filming at the time of these dates would be the director so for example I was doing the directing and in control of the clapperboard on the 1st of March. The majority of problems came with the band section as members acting out the musician roles would perform unrealisically to how they supposed to. We got around this issue by the director taking more control over what the actors are supposed to be doing and taking more takes until we felt what we had shot was adequate.
