Thursday 16th November
Location: Cemetery
Shots Taken: Depth of field, pan-shot and hand on tombstone.
Weather: It was sunny but still had a lot of wind blowing.
 |
| This was a script that I made on Word to get an idea of what scene syncs up with the lyrics. |
Date: Saturday 25th November
Shots Taken: Mirror shots with greenscreen. Medium shot with lighting under face. Shot of water blowing with the wind.
Weather: Frequent rain. Bright. This didn't effect filming as we were inside.
 |
| We started off with a mirror. The plan was for one of us to be filmed with the greenscreen up and the other with it off. |
 |
| We used a green cloth to act as the greenscreen. It was too large so we had to compare it to the size of the mirror and mark where to cut it. |
 |
| A picture of James cutting the green cloth along the marks made on the cloth. |
 |
| We attempted to fit the cloth before realising it was too large and got back to cutting it. |
 |
| Eventually we got it short enough and stuck it onto the mirror with double-sided tape. |
 |
| To get both the mirror and medium shot done we needed some artificial lighting which James is holding in the image to do the medium shot. |
 |
| For this shot, I decided to film while sitting down on the stairs to match with the lyrics. The biggest difficulty that I had with filming this scene was making sure the lighting looked good. In the end, I held a light under my face and made sure the camera didn't show it. |

Week 3:
4/12/17: Greenscreen shots. Close-up of eye.
9/12/17: Cemetery, re-shot depth of field, pan shot with lip-sync. James' house, re-shot the mirror scene and filmed shot in the cupboard. Town, shots of crowds and river.
The poor weather did affect some continuity but we re-shot the scenes were it would have been affected.
10/12/17: Close up of putting a video into a video player.
While Filming at James' we "Built" our own tripod for James' phone using a tripod (For a broken camera) and some hair bobbles.
 |
| Weather report for Saturday. This proved to be highly inaccurate as there was a lot of rain and snow. |
When we had finished this we began the editing process. For this we used Sony Vegas, James was the one who handled most of the editing. However, I started off with a simple video just to see what scene should go where which was used to help in the actual editing process.
One of the more important moments was trying to create a video static effect over the stop-motion scene which required him to take an image off the internet of a generic static effect, from a VHS tape, and cut out a piece of it in Photoshop, I then used a combination of green screen and animation too make it pan in front of the stills in the background.
The major problem with the video was that the audio from the internal speakers' recorder sounded terrible. This meant James would have to use and MP3 converter so it would work.
