Journal Filming the Club scene | 24.01.14

Today we filmed the club scene, the final chunk of our music video. As planned we used the drama room due to the black walls and the ability to manipulate it into looking like a club. For the DJ area we used the mini stage for Scott Garcia to stand on and for the DJ table we stacked two half cylinder blocks on top of each other. We then put disco lights on it and got a keyboard from music to replicate the DJ decks. Jack the media technician helped us set up the lighting to look authentic.

As you can see from the pictures we had quite a small amount of people but pushed them all closely together and framed the shot tightly to make it look busy and crowded. We used glow sticks and plastic wine glasses to make the scene look more realistic.

Journal Shooting | 15.01.14

Today the group went out to film some more footage for our video. We filmed on the streets in the area, sticking up the 'No Rabbits Allowed' signs in different locations to show that rabbits are widely unaccepted in society. We plan to have these shots altogether with quick cuts to show the mass of them.

We also filmed the bit where the rabbit finds the "Eskobar" poster on the floor which leads to the club scene. We will edit these clips today and tomorrow in time for the first screening of our music videos

To do list January

Journal 30.10.13

On the 30th of October me, Dylan and Kate travelled to London to do a test shoot. We wanted to see whether our ideas were actually do-able and not too ambitious. We took the opportunity of it being half term and good weather to get out there and do some practise shots. The shots that we got actually came out so much better than expected, which gave us the confidence that our idea would be able to work out. Some of the shots may even be able to used in our real music video as they were actually really successful.

The next step will be to complete our storyboards knowing that we won't have to change our idea at all. After doing this we will do our animatic and then be able to do some filming for real.

Music Video Test Shoot Wednesday 30th October 2013

these are some behinds the scenes and location shots of the test shoot we did for the music video. We wanted to test some of our ideas to see whether they would work for the real video. They were pretty successful and we may be able to use some of our footage in the real edit. This day was beneficial to us because it allowed us to ensure our ideas weren't too ambitious so it would be better to realise this now than when we actually came to do the real shoot. We firstly went to piccadilly circus to film the main dancing bit, then we headed to south bank for some more shots and then finally to the graffiti tunnels near waterloo for the final shots that we needed, over all it was a really successful day shooting. 

Digipak shoot - Weds 16th October

 These shots are the ones that Dylan will be using on his front cover, however I will be using them too for a few of my polaroid shots. This way, our digipak's will be different but they will still link to each other.

 These are a few of the Rabbit head on I might use one of these for the competition panel on my digipak

This is the shot Kate wants to use for her front cover, I think I will again use it in my collage so that there are links between the front covers.
