Film Diary
2nd December 2012
Today we are
re-filming the interior shots for the music video with the added changes to the
concept and story-line this is due to the interior shots that we filmed in
wales being poorly lit and so when we uploaded them to the macs we found that
they were grainy and too dark to clearly see. So we are at Amy’s house in
Reading re-filming. We begin by setting up the candles as this is now a key
feature of the video and framing the image of waterfall which is now a key
feature in the plot.
Once that has been
done we walk Jenny through the shots and Amy through the shots that we are
doing with her for the performance element which is also a new addition to the video.
We begin by filming Jenny in various parts of the room; (the stair well, the
piano, the chair under the stairs) we film from different angles and then with different
changes here and there to the lighting and hair and make-up which has been done
to mostly the same effect as when we filmed in October. This takes about 1-2
hours. We then take a break and work on setting up Amy’s shots the plan is to
film form six angles around the outside of Amy and then use the flexi-pod to
get an extreme close up of Amy performing the song whilst playing it on the piano.
We film from all of
the angles using the tripod the entire time the main focus of these shots are
the candles and the picture above the piano. Each time we film from one angle it
is for the entire duration of the song, what is really helpful is that Amy is
singing along to the song and not just miming as this I believe in editing will
help us to sync her lips with the music.
Once we have filmed
from all the angles we pack up the equipment have dinner and then return home
having now filmed all of the footage for the entire music video.
