Last night we filmed the first few shots of our music video. It was fun setting up the room to how we wanted it and the coloured lights which Luke borrowed from church looked very cool in the dark, almost exactly how we imagined it whilst we were story-boarding.
Before we started, we made a mini-vlog just giving a tour of our setting for the blog and also a mini-vlog for the lighting, they'll be uploaded as soon as we've edited the first part of our filming.
We started at around 6 when the sun was down so that none of the light ruined our setting which worked out well, however, it did mean that we didn't have a lot of time to film before I had to go home. Luckily, they boys stayed behind for a few more hours after I'd left and got a few more shots done.
It was fun filming with the puppet because as soon as we saw it for the first time, we knew that we'd made a good decision about choosing to use that instead of filming the performance aspects with a real actor.
Today we decided that instead of doing all the filming at once, we were going to film a bit, then edit it when we're not filming to save more time. This should make things work more efficiency because some of us can be working on the filming while the other films. It also works out well because I can also do some editing at home as I also have Final cut Express. So today we're editing some of the shots that were usable since most of the shots were just to get an idea as to where and how were were going to go about shooting some of the more awkward positions (ie. trying to hide the puppeteer behind the bed whilst still having enough room to move the puppet naturally.)
So having watched what we filmed back on the computer, we realized that we would have to re-film a few of the shots due to minor issues with framing and lighting but that shouldn't take too long as now we know what to do to make our shots better.
