Filming day 3


We decided that all cast members should meet at 12:00pm in Altrincham. Therefore, we would be able to spend at least 4 hours filming until sunset and if we film during sunset, our music video would look unprofessional. Also, by having at least 4 hours on filming, we were able to test different shot types Therefore, if we messed up a shot, we were able to re take it.

During our first filming session, we filmed a variety of different shot types. Therefore, when we've fully edited our final music video it will have continuity. Which means that our music video will look professional. Before we started filming, we sat down and looked at our storyboard. From looking at our storyboard, we knew which shot to include at each part of the music video. Therefore, this helped us produce a professional looking music video. Also by looking at our storyboard, we were extremely organised, which meant we were able to film a lot quicker without spending time thinking what shits to include. Therefore, we were able to film more content for our music video.

Moving on, we started to film a variety of shots of all band members walking down the street. We were able to gather close ups of each of the band members. Therefore, the audience will be able to establish which band member is which. Also, we took a close up of the trainers of which each band member was wearing. It was important that we took this shot because one of the key conventions of the Britpop genre is the fashion. Therefore, by doing this it will make our music video look revelant to the genre. Once we recorded the group footage, we started to film individual shots of the main performer 'Luke Mckendry' (who played the Liam Gallagher role) whiles playing the guitar. By including footage of the live performance, it links to the key conventions of a Britpop music video. Asa result of this, our music video will look professional and reaslistic.

After we finished filming, we uploaded the filming footage to Jack Rundle's computer. The reason for this is because we were able to identify which shots were bad quality and unneeded. When we completed this, we decided to film our narrative footage on the 20th of January. As a result of all cast members being free on this date.

By creating this post, it has helped us as a group reflect on what we did during the filming session in Altrincham and also it can help identify our mistakes during the session. Furthermore, it will benefit us during the editing stage because we'll know what shots we should piece together in order to suit the Britpop genre. in addition, we included a variety of genre conventions, in order for our music video to look realistic.
