DATE: WEDNESDAY 7th NOVEMBER 2012

WE WERE IN A VERY SERIOUS MOOD ON THAT DAY ..

DAY 1 OF FILMING 

Although out of the shooting time table that I had prepared we have finally started to film our music video, not only 

have we started but we have nearly finished filming !

We did the filming after school which we had learnt previously was the best time to film to keep a hold of all of the cast members. 

We began filming around 16:00 with a few delays and mind wandering which was to be expected.

We decided to film the second and third scene before the first scene at Georgia's house because the second and third scene are the most time consuming and we thought that it would be a good idea to get it out of the way. 

SCENE 2

There was a little change in cast in scene 2 'Marios Diamantides' could not make it as ensemble because he is also a media student and unfortunately we had a clash in filming days. However this didn't affect our filming which went pretty much to plan. 

For this scene in total we took about 4 takes which is an improvement from AS where we did 9 takes 

in total !

This scene was where part 2 of the peer pressure began for the male protagonist.

WWW (WHAT WENT WELL) 

- We achieved what we wanted to at the end of that scene 

- Props that we had (Alcohol) complimented the atmosphere that we were trying to create.

EBI (EVEN BETTER IF)

- We could have briefed the ensemble on more about the subject matter (real life examples)

- We could have checked the lighting before hand to speed up the process.

SCENE 3

The rest of the cast went home except for the male protagonist (Praise Ntiamoah) and female protagonist (me) for this scene. Again a few changes were made to this scene such as positioning of the cast and angles at which the music video were filmed from. 

In all honesty we did drift away from the storyboard quite a bit, out of both the scenes that were shot on that 

day I think that this scene did cause the most distress and frustration, reason being because that scene 

is the foundation of our music video subject matter.

In total we did 9 takes for this scene.

WWW (WHAT WENT WELL)

- The male protagonist responded in the way we had planned for this particular scene.

- The changes that were made in positioning could potentionally make the media product seem more realistic.

EBI (EVEN BETTER IF) 

- We checked lighting in Georgia's room beforehand.

- We practiced the space invading scenes between the male and female protagonist before hand 

this could have prevented awkwardness.

After a successful session of filming last Wednesday we have planned to do the second half of the music video this upcoming Wednesday (Wednesday 14th November 2012) after school.

 Fingers crossed this goes to plan then we can start editing next week.
