Filming Diary

Shoot one 14/11/14
This shoot was filmed at the side of the road in Great Leighs, and is where we captured the majority of the lip syncing footage. It was filmed at night, like the rest of our video, in order to get The Blair Witch Project influenced spotlight effect on the subject of the shots. It was a dry night, which meant that we could film a lot more freely as we didn't have to worry about the camera becoming water damaged. We also filmed some footage of the road which the protagonist is going to find his way onto, as the road was quiet allowing us to film on it.
Shoot two 18/11/14
We filmed the majority of the narrative and scenic shots during this shoot, as we realised that we needed to incorporate a lot more narrative around our lip syncing in order to make the video more effective. We had to ensure that the actor was wearing the exact same costume as he was the previous night of filming, as otherwise there would be no continuity within the video. In addition to this, we filmed the shot of our actor getting run over, although this may not make the final cut in order to make our video look as professional as possible.

Shoot three 04/12/14

We had to re-film a lot of the video on this night in order to get it to as high a level as possible - this meant that we had to organise for another actor, Tom, to come down in order to build in a larger element to the narrative. 

As we had the shots, locations, props and actors well organised, we were able to get the majority of the filming done on these three nights.
