Our Day of Filming 09/11/2011

We decided to book our camera on this day and do a whole day of filming as we felt we were falling behind on our video because instead of filming our initial ideas, we were discussing new ideas too much so therefore we hadnt got enough footage for our whole music video.

Our ideas of having shots in fields and picturess surroundings were definitly at the forfront of what we wanted to film on this day. We came up with different ideas as to where we could drive too in order to get the shots we wanted with places such as

The botanic gardens- but we found that this cost to get in and felt we could find a location that would fit out video for free










Fields near Haverhill- Although this wasnt a quick and conveniant place to go because it wasnt near Long Road so we looked closer and in surrounding areas.










Newnham Park - In the end we settled on newham park which is about 2miles from Long Road so was in easy reach too get there and back without wasting too much time, it was free and has exactly the surroundings that we had wanted.










A change of plan- Once we chose our location, we watched the music video that we had so far and came to grips with the lyrics that we still needed to film or the footage for the lyrics that we were not happy with due to bad lighting so therefore wanted to re film it. We wrote down these lyrics and then planned what we wanted to do for each because at the start we were only planning on having the singing in the black room but as time went on and different ideas came to the for front, we decided to have the singing on location also which became a slight problem as we had not previously planned this.

Filming schedule for the day
11am - Get to Newnham Park, giving us 4 hours to film what we need.
11am- 12pm - Film lipsynching shots around the bridge area and field.
12pm-1pm Lunch
