Production Log: Week 2

Monday: I started the week by filming the shots for the boyfriend motif. We asked Michael to come in and be the boyfriend for us, and he was enthusiastic for the shoot.
We were happy with the shots we took, and there was even a little bit of time at the end for me to film some of the Voodoo Doll motif, although after filming and watching back our footage I don't think we will use it in our actual sequence as it doesn't seem to fit.
After school we stayed to edit our shots with the boyfriend, as well as shooting our pulpit motif shots. Again, we were pleased with the shots we had taken and so will incorporate them into our sequence.

Tuesday: Today we filmed Frank's solo shots with his bass guitar. After the original band filming from the previous week we knew what we needed to improve on with the band members shots. We took numerous takes from different angles and distances, with long shots of Frank in the spotlight to close ups of his hands as he plucked the strings.

Wednesday: On Wednesday we edited the footage we had so far into individual sequences, so that when it came to our final sequence we could input the individual sections where we wanted. Now that we had the majority of our footage we could start edited our final sequence

Thursday: On Thursday we did our photoshoot. At lunchtime I photographed the band together and individually in their band outfits in a variety of poses. I then photographed them after school in a 'smart' outfi. The photoshoot went well and we took a lot of photos. We will start editing the good ones next week to use on our website and for our album cover.

Friday: On Friday we turned up to school at 7am to start the set-up and shoot for our band performance day, as the shots we took in the first week weren't as good as we'd hoped. We started our filming at 8:15am and went right through to 11am. In this time we filmed our band performance shots, Ben's solo (now that he had all his strings) and Ming's solo. We were tired by the end of the filming, although at the same time we felt fulfilled that we had completed all the main filming for our video.
