Filming!

So the day has arrived...well not quite yet, we are filming tomorrow! *cheers!* a little late is better than never!

Not all of the footage can be filmed yet as they're are some locations that are still to be decided BUT we will film tomorrow as if we are filming the entire film, so we get our lovely actress - Rozi Leathers - to perform the lyrics numerous time so we ensure we have plenty of footage to nearly complete the video, then later on in time we can get rid of the bits we film tomorrow and substitue in the new footage where appropriate.

Shots we aim to do tomorrow are as follows...
1. Walking shots down lane in Tostock of 'good' Rozi
2. Shots in Tostock of 'bad' Rozi
3. Car Shots
4. Bury - possibly the abbey?- Streets, later on the eveing so its slightyl darker
5. Top of multistorey car park.
6. Still shot of traffic below which shall be sped up later on in the editing stages.

Shots we plan to do later on
1. Padded cell - we have no had time to prepare the pros and setting for these shots yet so we have decided to get on with the rest of filming and come back to the later
2. Club shots - we need to get in contact with t he manager of the club Deja vu in Bury and ask for perm ission to film the their perhaps during the day when the club in empty
3. Shots with some choreography and possibly other cast...

We would definatly like to use these shots within the video as it will add lots of variety and contrast, i feel the shots we are getting in tomorrows shoots are the maot essential as they will be the basis for the whole video, but also are the most simple and predictable shots.

We aim to get to Rozis house for about 11 and then hopefully finish and be back home at 3.30, 4 at the latest. The first hour we shall spend preping Rozi and going through with her what we shall be doing first etc and also costume, hair and make up. Luckily Rozi has a very large clothes collection so we shall decide on the outfit for both good version and bad tomorrow, to save time we deicded that hair and make up would stay the same for both characters as long as the contrast between the two is obvious within the clothing. Also it looks like it is going to be lots of layers due to this freezing whether we have received!

Equipment for tomorrow...

  • Camera + charger
  • Tape
  • Tripod and Dolly
  • Portable flood light
  • Amp speaker
  • Mobile mp3 with the track on it for Rozi to lip sync too
  • Lyrics, Storyboards and shot lists
  • Kat car...not that we will forget that!
  • Costume and Make-up
Thats it i think!

Hopefully it shall be good whether conditions, even though it wont be pleasent we hope it to be quite gloomy and grey, we would even welcome some snow, and the atmosphere we think reflects the song well.

Wish us luck!
