Filming day 1

On the first day filming we went to the the locations and collected some drone shots to include in our music video as it was perfect conditions to fly and we didn't have all of our cast due to other commitments, after getting some drone shots of the sea and a beach we discussed that the next thing to do was organise a time when everyone was available and start filming the narrative.

Storyboard

This is our final draft of out music video, the main changes we made was from audience feedback, weve made it more detailed which was a suggestion by our teacher as it would hep us with the production as it would be clearer to understand.

to be added after half term

shot list

This is the shot list that we created as a group

Shooting schedule

location scouting

The 3 outdoors loacations we've chosen to film at are Porthcawl, Ogmore by sea and Southerdown. All of these locations are accesible by a 20-30 minute car ride. 

Porthcawl

Porthcawl is a very familiar location to us as its a popluar seaside town with a variety of activites and shops located close to the front. We have decided to use this location to film some scenes in the evening as it would be good to show the relationship in this way. In porthcawl we can film with the drone if the wind isnt to strong, we can also film insdie the funfair thats located close to the beach which would also be a good way to represent the relationship. The pier is also accesible to film on and would be good to have drone shots of the light house there but when we got there the winds where to high to fly it. 

Ogmore by sea

Ogmore by sea is also a very popular beach thats close to porthcawl, it is also one of the easiest beaches to get to regarding parking. It can become popular in the summer but due to it being winter it can be vacant which is good for us when we are filming as people in the background have the potetntial to mess us the continuity. The only negative aspect of this location is that it can become very windy due to it being on the sea front so drone shots would be very difficult to film in this location.

Southerdown

When we went ot southerdown the whole group agreed that we were definetley going to use this location and get the majoirty of our shots there. There were a good variety of heights due to the cliffs and alos being able to go onto the beach and stay close to the sea. We visited southerdown in poor conditions but after discussing the thought of our music video we came to the conclusion that they were actually good conditions for filming as it reflected the mood. Only bad part is that we wouldnt of been able to film with the drone in those conditions.This was also a vacant area and wouldnt have to worry about people in the background getting in the way or mesing up the continuity. 

Props and costumes

the list below consists of the props that we intend to use in our our music video. We don't really need a lot of props in our video, but we may add some as the filming goes on.

• Car - 3 of our members in our group can drive which means we have a good advantage. We will mainly be using the cars to get to location but we also need shot of them in a car together to match the lyrics and plus to show how they got there. 

• Mobile Phone - We will be using Jades and Alex's phone in our video, they will use these to text and call each other. we used this as well as it a very popular and common day item that is used frequently in relationships to keep in contact so this gives a sense of realism

• We also used a punch bag for one of the scenes with Alex to show him getting his anger out
• Clothing & Accessories - Jade and Alex will have their own personal props which will be part of what they wear for the music video. we let them wear what they want so they feel comfortable and seem like normal people to the audience

draft storyboard

This was our first draft of our storyboard, we aim to produce a more detailed second version which will aid us with the filming of our music video.
