It was my second day of shooting today I aimed to film the beginning scene of the music video and scenes on the stairs but not the scenes on the stairs with the gentleman flirting with her. I had the camera booked out from 9am till 4pm however the artist didn't turn up until just before 2, and after getting her in the costume and getting her hair and make up ready, I wasn't able to start filming until after 2, giving me only just under to 2 hours to film her scenes.
Before the artist came I was helping out in other music videos(Joanna's) and I was also able to film the clips of the 'sun in the sky' and 'birds flying high'. Luckily the sun was out that day and I had to quickly get my camera out and film it when the clouds started to clear and after a couple attempts I managed to get the shot I wanted. Filming birds flying was quite difficult at first, as the object moved to quickly for me to set up the camera in time and get a clear, good shot. Luckily when the camera was rolling as I was filming the sky, a group of birds came flying over unexpectedly allowing me to get the shot I wanted. So I was generally happy with those shots.
The scenes I managed to film with the artist was shots of her walking along the dainty building just outside college. Getting close up shots of her walking and her hand brushing against the wall. I attempted to lip sync her singing the beginning verse which was difficult again as she struggled to remember the lyrics. I was generally happy with some shots but much like the last shoot the only footage that didn't appear very good was the ones with her singing, the most important and time consuming shots. Although I didn't get any successful singing shots, I will try and edit them to fit by cutting or changing the speed of the clip in the editing suite later on.
My only worry from today's shoot and last shoot was the time it took to film and with me having only produced a 1/4 of good quality footage that I'll be able to use. As well as loosing hours of filming time due to the artist being late. I have booked another day of filming on Friday and I will begin editing the first scene ready to decide on what needs filming or re shooting in the studio next Friday.
