Friday 30th September

Friday 30th September 2011- Whole group- Beddington Park:
Today we went to film a large part of the video in various sections of Beddington Park. We aimed to film a lot of naturalistic shots and we filmed in some wooded areas and used a lot of trees in shot. The weather was also to be to our advantage and we made use of the sunny and warm conditions. We did some lip syncing for the video and our actor had to make sure he was wearing the same suit. The first areas we went to was a leafy area in which we filmed some POV Shots and some shots of the sun through the trees. We also filmed our main actor against a tree with another group member playing the guitar in the background, something which we are using as a motif throughout the music video. We filmed a lot of close-ups of our main actor and also filmed shots of nature including the river, plants and trees. Also included in the filming was some reverse action shots in which our main actor was filmed walking backwards and taking his blazer off, something in editing that we reversed to make it look normal but with the effect of the blazer automatically coming up to fit on his body. Again in this we had the other group member playing the guitar to back up the motif of the video we he is always there behind the main actor. We also filmed some more 'behind the scenes' of various aspects of filming and preparation which will be used in a seperate edit and uploaded as an extra. We also had a camera to take various pictures of some live action including some stop motion filming in the river. It was yet again a very productive day and we got a lot filmed in the rare end of September heatwave.

We are also way into the editing stage and the shots have come together nicely on the timeline as well as some good special effects. The intro is looking good and the timeline is slowly being filled with various edits of shots and lip syncing. We have also added some audio and sound effects consisting of diegetic and non diegetic sounds to accompany the intro and the ending to coincide with creating atmosphere and mise-en-scene.
