On the day of shooting, the first location that had to be set up was underneath the school’s stage for the performancr aspect of the video. The first thing we had to do was clean out the underneath and source out the drum kit and take it over. This would have been a lot easier if not for the fact racheal had decided to break her leg (extremely inconvenient ). Once Jo had arrived, she put on her costume and make up and we listened to the song a couple of times in order to get in the right mood! Jo also went through the lyrics a few times. One thing that I would definitely make sure when shooting again, would be to the the music on an actualy CD. I used an Iphone, which turned out to be quite tinny and too quiet over the sound of the drumming. I felt shooting went quite well, however, looking back on my footage I realised that I’d filmed the same few lines too often and was lacking in a few other lines from later on in the song. Next time I film I would make sure to have sufficient footage of all the lyrics and then extra, to make sure I have enough footage to work with. The next bit we had to film was the story line with Jess. We planned for her to come round to my house, where the most of the filming would be done, for five. We started filming in the bed room. Despite having a storyboard, filming was still quite difficult as the story board went in reverse, where as we decided to film in a chronological order in terms of the nights events. So when we started, Jess’ character was just waking up, this part would actually end up in the lastfew secinds of the music video. After starting off the filming, we then had Jess go in to get her make up for the majority of the video. We had a friend do her make up with lots of black eyeliner, big lashes, very trashy. He costume was also in lines of trashiness, a short dress with fishnet tights and big black heels. I found shooting this part of the music video really fun as it involved re-creating a proper night out. I found we we’re pretty precise with what needed filming and we made sure that we filmed most of it a couple of times from a few different angles which really helped when it came to the editing process. Overall, we only needed to shoot the one time and ended up with enough footage to finish of the music video, which was very helpful! Jess, Jo and everyone else who helped and peformed in the music video were fantastic, and I was so grateful to everyone that helped out! I was happy with my initial filming experience, and found it easy to figure out what else needed to be filmed after the first editing sessions.
