Our final film shoot..



Today we spent lunch time and the lesson filming at St Mary's Church in Lutterworth as it is local, although it is different from the graveyard we filmed in before it still works well as they look extremely similar, keeping the continuity. I asked the vicar whether it would be possible for us to use the ground and inside the church which he gave us permission to do.

 We started by planning what we needed to film and used different areas of the graveyard to do it, hopefully the footage we caught is in keeping with what we already filmed. We filmed for about an hour in ice cold temperatures! so hopefully our hard work will pay off! We filmed Jordan lip syncing to the whole song and took different shots of him in the graveyard to show his behaviour. We also created a new shot of him waking up in the graveyard, taking a shot from jordan's perspective as if he is opening his eyes, this will allow the reader to interpret the video in their on way and decide on why the change of scenery has happened e.g. has he committed suicide? is he a ghost? has he gone to ask for forgiveness? etc.

As the deadline is only 2 days away i am starting to feel anxious as the stress is now on to get it finished! If i was to do the video again i would have attempted to get all the footage done in one day, and would have planned the video more precisely (e.g. taking into consideration the clocks go back), luckily we have solved these problems as we have gone on and today used the lesson time to film Hewitson for what is hopefully the last time! Owain has a free day tomorrow so is going to crack on with putting together the shots. Jack and I have selected the best clips from yesterdays video so will get them to him this evening, as all of our footage is on Owains laptop he will bring it in on Friday so that we can add any final touches/changes before the deadline at 3.10 pm. I think that by splitting the workload at this point we will definitely get it finished, the ancillary task is well on it's way to being finished by next week and the video is close to being finished! I am really proud of the hard work put in so am looking forward to finally submitting it!
