We planned to start filming our music video on the Friday 11th November 2016. My group and I planned to film in Birmingham city centre. This is because it is a public place and is very different to the town we live in, Tamworth. In Birmingham we filmed in a café, which we asked permission of the workers, and they allowed us to film. We used a Sony HD camera to film the scene for our music video. We did a range of shots to ensure we had enough footage to edit and use. Unfortunately we planned to film in Grand Central but we had to get permission for filming, and we couldn't for that particular day. This was an issue we had to try and improvise and find a place similar which was open to the public.
We plan to go to Kingsbury Water Park to film some performance scenes. We chose there because the are is large which gave us the opportunity to use a range of locations and shots. We plan to film there on the 19th November 2016.
Changing Groups:
I decided to change groups because in the group I was in I didn't feel like I could have achieved my very best. The decision was made on the 18th November. I know this means I would have loads of work to catch up on, but both me and my peers decided it was for the best so we could all get the grades we are striving for.
The group I have moved into are doing a music video also, this was ideal as all the research I had done into the music industry was still of use. The song we are doing is Salute by Little Mix. We chose this song as its upbeat and empowering to women across the world. The message of our music video will be challenging conventions of stereotypes. This links in with feminism which is an on going movement in the world. I am very passionate about equality and everyone being equal. This is why we picked this song. When i joined the group we had just started the filming process. We planned to film in Ankerside Car Park, located in Tamworth. This is because its a large area and we wanted to do choreography to the song, so this area was suitable to film.
Filming:
We filmed scenes at a car park located in Tamworth on the 25th November. We used two DSLR cameras which gave us the opportunity of filming different angles in takes, which saved us time. Not only this it would show that we have used different angles and shots in our production. This mean we got filming done faster. While filming we used different locations around the car park as it is quite large and as the day was sunny we filmed in both lights, the shade and the light.
Editing:
We have recorded most of our music video. Whilst watching the clips we had filmed we realise we needed to fill in some gaps within our production. We need to film some more performance to fill the gaps with.
