Mac 3: Grovelands Park Vlog

Inspirational music video

I really like this music video because there are various location shots as well as various camera angles such as: close ups, wide shots, mid shots etc. Moreover the narrative tells a story which is what we are trying to create in our music video. At 2:35 to 2:40 i feel that it is similar to what we are trying to include in our narrative, this being the protagonist completely disregarding everything else.

Day 2 - Behind the scenes filming

Today we had begun filming some of the shots that we needed at our chosen location: Grovelands Park in Southgate. When we arrived at the park it had begun raining which was not a good thing, however we had managed to work alongside it. As well as this, we had also found new spots to film such as the little river path bit. So we had experimented and filmed a shot there, which meant that we had changed part of our storyboards, however it showed our development from our initial idea.

Although it was a horrible, miserable day we still managed to get some shots that we could use, and we did have a great morning filming!

Shooting Schedule

During the half term, we as a group decided we were going to start filming for our music video, just a few shots to begin with. However, some of the days that we were going to shoot we couldn't because either the weather would not co-operate or something had come up with at least one of us. So we have decided to make a "Shooting Schedule" plan. 

We have sat down and discussed which days and at what times we would start filming. Choosing the days and setting the times, we have created a document on Excel to ensure we stick to the schedule. The things that are included in it are, time, day/date, location, group members and actors, props and equipment and additional notes. So far we have 3 shooting days which we hope would be enough and then we can make a start on editing. Photos of us filming and behind the scene shots are yet to come!
