After observing the editing shots along with the lyrics sheet we knew exactly what type of shots are needed and how much filming space we still have available to fill in the gaps.
When choosing our final filming destination we decided to use eye as it was the most convenient location for all of us to get too, in a short period of time. In Eye we all met up and began to film the missing scenes within our music video. After searching around Eye Village we found a tight space between 2 walls and thought it would be a good idea to use our portable lighting at night to help us film this dark tight areas, which also allows us to use correct lighting. We filmed this scene extremely quickly due to us already having experience and knowledge of how to film each scene quickly and efficiently. Therefore for our last filming day we make sure the filming process will be much more organised that we have previously experienced. Not only did it help us increase confidence with the resources surrounding us, the actors also was confident with the scenes we require due to our organisational skills and expectations.
Above is a photo that we had taken to show the confined small space that we thought we would be a great place to film. The lighting of the shot is also very clear.
This is the light that we used to help us film this scene , we used an extension lead to plug it into a socket.
For another scene that we were filming in, we used Modey’s bed room, in this scene is demonstrates Dom waking up and singing the lyrics on a different sofa the he will gradually fall backwards in slow motion. This was quite a difficult shot to film as Dom wasnt very confident about falling correctly, therefore we had to take several shots to achieve the perfect shot. We eventually managed to take the shot as Dom’s confidence increased after practicing how he needs to move his body. Before be required this minor stunt we checked if it was safe enough for him to fall directly backwards, due to hazardous reasons. The falling scene was something that was not planning in our story boarding process however due to our editing constraints, we needed to fill in gaps that were missing due to the lack of knowledge of timing of the song against the length of the shots.
This is a shot of Dom’s laying in Modey’s sofa after his falling techniques.
I feel that we have successfully finished our filming scenes and if needed we shall return to re-film. However ever today was a short and simple sessions that was extremely productive, due to our increase of confidence and knowledge.
