General:
More shots in the dusk, maybe in the forest where the sun Is low and shining through the trees?
More shaky shots to create tense feel
More miming shots especially…
“Like punching in a dream, breathing life into a Nightmare”
“This is worse than it seems”
“wey yey yey yey yey”
“forgive you, forgive you”
“woah”

Park shots – side angle
Shot of jumping off log – needs to be closer and higher angle
Shot of dancing- cuts off head
Shot of smoke bomb – smoke is hard to see, not visually effective
Bathroom waking up shot
Bathroom mirror shot
Complete retake of smoke bomb shot

EDITING
Re-edit time-lapse clip so it looks smoother and use fade transition from clip
Complete transitions

Third time filming

On Sunday it was my first time filming in the daylight therefore I focused mainly on shooting with the props which won't look as effective in the dark such as the falling glitter and dancing with the balloons.

Unfortunately, the smoke bomb didn't look good as I thought it would - it didnt let off much smoke and didnt last long enough to try out different shots. Im currently looking for alternative methods I can use which gives a smoke effects such as smoke machines

Some photos from filming and editing

Editing and Filming process so far...



Release Form


This Personal Release form i have made is a simple contract that gives me legal permission as a filmmaker to use the footage of the actor in my film, to edit it and to publish the video online.

Second time filming

Today I carried on filming my music video and had to focus on more of the forest based shots, we finished the filming with 10 minutes of footage. Although it was unplanned, it was very windy and dark and the trees and the actors hair blowing made it look extra scary. Throughout filming, i have become more confident in my ability to understand what works properly in terms of camera angles and framing and what would look good for my music video in terms of its abstract qualities and following the narrative.

Here are 2 photos - one of the location and one of us shooting

Exporting my video to the editing suite



Today i exported the first part of filming i had done onto the editing suite, this involved me creating my own folder and i had to rename each clip which helped with the organisation. I then had to delete any clips which i didn't need such as if the quality wasn't good ie too dark. Before i started editing any of the clips, i decided i had to upload the song onto the editing suite so i did this by putting the song onto a USB.
