Filming 14/01/2014

Filming the mirror scene and the Bedroom singing-

Today, I decided that I was going to try and film all of the footage left that I had planned so that I knew that all of the footage that I need for my music video was complete and so that I knew that all I had to mainly complete was computer based. Today, I filmed for the mirror scene and the bedroom scene.

The mirror scene-

The mirror scenes purpose was to film Ruby Collins putting a lot of make-up one and then taking it off after realising that make-up is the root to solving problems and showing to the audience that its wrong to think that anyone's appearance defines them as a person. This linked to the visual; " you don't even have to try any longer, do what you want to" Which I think is basically saying that  you don't need to be defined by society and that you can control your own life with out worries. This sequence had many cuts, but because the lyrics were quite short, I didn't really need to keep on filming for along time.

The props that were used for this project: A circular mirror, quaint jars, equipment make-up, make up brushes, little cute pots, extension leads and all of the camera.

The Bedroom Singing:

This scene was actually quite problematic and resulted in a lot of arguing which was mainly down to me  having a perceived idea of perfect singing. As I am quite an animated character around my friends I had the idea that Ruby Collins' would be very animated and get into the lyrics more. Although, I understand some people are less confident and don't like singing in front of cameras, I hoped that Ruby Collins would be very animated though the person I chose for the project was not prepared to be as animated as she is quite timid and shy.

So to get the footage for this scene I had to negotiate in the middle and I think that for a shy timid person the footage was quite good and that I was probably being too much of a diva asking and then shouting at her. Poor management on my part.

Props used for the filming: flower patterned sheets, pillows, new outfit, fairy lights and fashion books (showing she is into fashion)

What is your next step?

The next step with all of the footage I have hot is to edit over the next few days, as there is a lot of footage that has to be changed and edited, I wont objectively say when this will be finished as there is a lot of footage that has to be edited.
