Filming day 4

Today was the fourth and final day of filming. This was probably the most important day of filming as it was the dream sequence in the woodlands. This is the main event in the video so we felt we had to gather a lot of footage and make sure the footage was good enough. We also had two other actress's filming with us today as we wanted two other fantasy girls to add to the dillusional world that the main actor has woken up in. The biggest problem that we face when filming was the fact that it was so cold it actually affected the time that we could spend out there filming. Due to this we had to keep going back into our cars for breaks to get some heat back in us! due to this it turned out to be a very long day. I believe that due to our best efforts we managed to get some really nice shots and a lot of effective filming took place. There was a certain shot that i thought was really good. This was an over the shoulder of georgia as she was sitting in a tree looking at the main actor (me). I belive we created a great image from filming this shot.

Filming day 3

Today was the third day of filming. The passage that we filmed today was the journey the main character makes from leaving work to his house. This is a very important stage to the video because it is when you first see the main fantasy girl (georgia) and it sets the scenario for the rest of the video. This was also a challenging part of filming as we had to create a scene where georgia seems to dissapear as if she wasn't there. We managed to do this by asking a man if he would kindly drive his van past so we could create an image where shes there before it goes past but gone when it goes past. We managed to do this quite well (in the end!) although there were a few attempts at doing this. There was also a very tricky sequence of filming where Hannah the camerawomen had to make sure she caught my reaction as i was moving my head up. There were many attempts at this because we had to make sure it looked right. In the end we managed to do it and this was down to good camera work from hannah. Apart from the weather the day was fairly succesful although the weather did affect how long we could film for as the weather did start to get quite severe.

Filming day 2

Today was the second day of filming. This took place at a local office. This was the start of our video and we wanted to portray the actor as a hard working middle classed man. I believe we did this through the setting and the clothing that he was wearing. I think that the day was very successful and we gained sufficient footage to create a great opening passage to our video.

Filming day 1

Today was the first day of filming our video. Today we concentrated on some of the main parts that i would be in as the main actor. The first thing that we filmed was the shots of me at home after work and the stages that followed where he fell asleep into the dream sequence. As this was our first day of filming it took us longer than we thought to film the sequence, due to us getting used to what camera angles and shots we need to use and the right lighting. This was also my first day of acting so i had to get used to performing in front of the camera.
