Filming tomorrow

Tomorrow is the first time that me and Ella are filming. Today in class we had a discussion on what we were going to be filming (shot wise), how we would be getting to the location of of filming, the clothing that is going to be used in our filming.

To stop any potential things that may make the filming come to a stop, we have planned out what we need to be doing tomorrow.

• Collect tripod from the school during 2nd lesson. (on loan for over the weekend)
• Get the bus from school (after school has finished) and arrive at Fosse Park approximately for 4:10- this taking into account if the bus is running late.
• Walk from here to the location (Jemma's house)- Approximately 10-15 minutes.
• Jemma to get into costume while Ella sets up the camera (distance and camera mode) and any props and lighting.
• Film the close up of Jemma first- this needs to be approximately 1 second, however, we need to make sure we film over 1 second in case we need it longer. This shot may be the shot that takes the longest as it is the first and we need to make sure the lighting is continuous throughout. (as this shot will be used more than once, we will need to write down on a piece of paper which shot it is needed at) Shot 5/ 76
• Film the mid-shot of the sofa- again, this is approximately 1 second, filming over just in case. Shot 4/ Shot 75
• Film the close-up of the neckless- 1 second: Shot 7/ Shot 78
• Film mid-shot of Jemma on the sofa: 'We heard November rain'- Shot 38
• Film mid- shot of Jemma 'You're young until you're not' Shot 44
• Film mid-shot of Jemma 'You hear November rain' Shot 60
• Film mid-shot of Jemma 'On the radio, uh oh' Shot 65

I have already written out the shot number, type of shot, and what is happening in the shot on some paper, this way we can put it in front of the camera before shooting so when we put it on the computer we know what order we can put them in.

(I apologise for the poor quality- they were taken on the laptop webcam)

To also save time tomorrow, Ella said that I have the choice in what I wear. We decided to take this approach to the video as we don't want to make everyone dress in an anti-folk style (I think my style of clothing will suit this theme though)

Tomorrow, I will be wearing this dress (navy coloured with cherries all over it) plus the neckless (as this is the trinket in the video) I feel that this dress suits the theme of the anti-folk song. It is also something that Ella approves of me wearing- as we discussed it today during our lesson.
