Filming progress

On Thursday the 25th we started to film our piece, we managed to get the whole narrative side of our music video filmed, which is the storyline with the girl dancing. The filming went really well and we got every shot that we needed and more in case some were wrong.
After half term we are going to film the performance side of the music video, the parts with the artist. We will film this as soon as possible, meaning we can start editing and getting the finished piece polished up to scratch.

Changes to Storyboard

Earlier today we filmed all of our performance side of the video, with the girl dancing. The filming went very well, although we had to make a few changes to the storyboard:
-We had to change parts between 1:24-1:27 as before it was character taking first steps into dance then doing a leap, we decided that we needed some shots of the girl warming up to make the dancing more realistic so we took these shots out, and put in shots of her warming up instead.
-We also has to change 1:53-1:55 as this is a shot of the character leaving the studio which we did not want, we also had to change 2:09-2:13 as these shots were not needed. We added in different nice shots of the girl dancing in these places.
-At around 3:12 we had to add in 5 secconds of dancing, as we didnt have enough good dancing shots, therefore we took out shots of the character finishing her dance routine, a close up of the character feeling exhausted and the character showing her emotions in a close up. These shots were not needed until later on in the piece.

This shows us that the story board wasnt completely accurate and had some difficulties on the day filming, but it was a great help for timing, as any shots we needed to change, we knew the timing of them.
Overall the filming went very well and I am pleased with how good the shots were.

Props

We do not have many props in our music video as we are keeping it very simple.
There are a few props needed for the narrative part, which are:

-Water bottle













-Pointe ballette shoes












-Dance bag











-Dance outfit (in bag) originally she wears her school uniform, then gets changed to dance.













We are not using any props for the perfotmance part of the video, just ouartist in a warehouse singing.

Filming shot list

This is a shot list of every second of our music video. This will make it easier whilst we are filming as we can keep referring back to the shot list to make sure we haven't missed anything. As you can see in the location part of the table, we have a few different locations to film at, we will be filming the drama studio scenes separate from the other ones. To make sure we don't mix this up we have printed out the shot list and colour coded each different location and the shots.
