Production - Filming Session 1

Filming Session 26/10/15

During our first filming session we filmed in Shoreditch. We ended up starting late as one of our group members had a job interview. We first took some shots in a park of Jessica and Tia playing with the different rides. Followed by us taking shots of Jessica against a graffiti wall. As the clocks went back an hour earlier this week it meant that our filming sessions run into the evening hen it was dark. We had lighting with us which meant that we could record some footage. However, when we were reviewing the footage we saw that the lighting that was used on Jessica had a harsh edge to it and looked more like a spotlight, which we didn't like. Also, as the lighting was hand held and not placed on a stand it was a bit shaking and it was very evident when we went to review the footage. 

The footage that we recorded in the park we felt we good and had potential to be used in the music video. We liked how we did some shots of the different perceptive views of Jessica and Tia. We felt that these shots put together showed the element of fun in their friendship, which our video tries to put forward. 

Problems:

Tia who was initially meant to be our artist had a sore throat and was unable to sing therefore Jessica replaced her. This did cause a few disagreements within the group which lead to time being wasted but we were fast to find a solution.

The lighting used was poor when we went to review the footage as it looked very harsh.

Our SD card was corrupted and kept interrupting every time we were recording, therefore our base tracks recorded were incomplete.
