Filming!!!

Today we took it upon ourselves to get things going and go out of the media lesson to film! We now have the ability to drive so thought that it would be best to go out of our lessons to film as this will ensure that we are getting all of our filming completed giving us more time to edit! Today we chose to head to one of our locations and film there, this being TESCO's!  Whilst on the way to Bury, Charlotte and Ella were filming in the car (i was driving) whilst playing 'Cheers'. This gave us some good jokey shots in which we feel will come in handy when we need time filling! Whilst in the car Charlotte and Ella got used to the cameras so we were able to use them successfully at our planned locations! Charlotte and Ella played with angles and shots to see what worked and what didn't with the camera. To further this they also tried parts of lip sync to see how it worked and what effect it had. When looking back quickly of the footage i saw that they had shot some good things in which will give us lots of different concept ideas to add to the overall music video! i especially like on of Ella lip syncing with the wind in her hair as this looked quite professional and looked as if we were having fun representing the song perfectly as our interpretation is that we are looking forward to the weekend and having fun due to excitement. Whilst at Tesco's we messed around and had a laugh in and with the trolleys, we got this idea from other music videos such as Rihanna's other video to 'we found love'. We hope that this turns out to be as good as we hoped when we add effects and edit it together. We then continued to film some other ideas and shots at tesco's in which allowed us all to have a go with the camera ensuring we shared the roles out equally. Whilst in bury we visited a second location in which consisted of a MASSIVE hill and play area, this allowed us to joke around, once again gaining shots to play with when editing.

Today's filming was overall very successful and we feel that we are working incredibly well together and sticking to deadlines!!!
