Day 5 - 7th January 2014

Due to a lot of problems we had with the previous filming we did, it took us a while to get back into the routine of regular filming. After we had concluded that we were unable to get back the filming we had lost, we had to do some filming again. Cally and I went to collect Lily (our main girl) to retake the parts she was in. Before Connor (our main boy) arrived, we were able to film the scenes with lily in the bath and the faded shot of lily. When Connor arrives, we filmed the scenes with Connor in the bath, his looking depressed while holding a bottle, drinking from it, head shots and so on. We were also able to film a bottle rolling on the floor in the bathroom. Cally did a lot of mise-en-scene work and lighting work while I did the filming.

Day 4 - 18th December 2013

Today Becky, Cally and Marie decided to re- film some scenes that had been deleted due to a corrupt memory card. We had the struggle of trying to retrieve these documents, we sent the memory card to a company that specialize in data recovery. After waiting over a month I took it upon myself to phone the company and see what was happening with our media card. They stated that they had to send it to forensics in order to get access to the data as it was so corrupt and this would cost over £200. As we do not have the budget for this we then went on to start filming again.

Today, they refilmed the clock and the phone. They set up a table with a blanket, a boys bag, a laptop, a phone, folders and other essentials that you would find on a boys bedside table. They then took some pictures of the set up and filmed with the lights off in the corridor and decided on who would be best the other two then would send the texts to the phone on the table in the correct time to be filmed. It proved difficult to focus the camera on the phone as it is such a bright light so this took longer than anticipated, however, we managed to do it after making some adjustments.

When filming the clock this was much easier as they left the camera on the tripod and filmed it at 12 o'clock for one minute then again at 3,6 and 9 o clock for a minute, they used a torch spotlight on my phone to give it a dark shadowy effect and unintentionally the clock swayed, this accident worked to our advantage as they were then able to create a creepier effect. They then filmed it close up and further away so that when we edit it we can show the clock from different angles, or and the space we were using. Becky, Marie and Cally all attempted to film and when they did they will also speed up the clock moving through the times so that it symbolizes that a lot of time has passed.

 

Day 3 - 27th November 2013

Today, we were able to get our main girl to come and do some filming for us. Cally, Becky and I first set up the bathroom with the lights to start filming the scenes with our main girl in the bath. We dressed our model up and did her hair and makeup and then placed her in the bath and took a lot of pictures of how we set up and the filming. Once we did enough different shot of the filming, we got our girl out of the bath and decided to do another scene of our main girl up against a plain white wall with her hair wet to make it look mysterious. 

Day 2 - 20th November 2013

For our filming today, we tried to get our main girl to do some filming done for us, but she was unable to come. Therefore, we had to film other parts of our video that we did not need a model for. Cally, Becky and I starting filming the scene with the phone in the dark room receiving messages from his mum saying ‘I’m worried about you and then a message from a friend saying ‘You coming out tonight bring drink!’. We also took practice shots of the coloured gels and lighting to see what kind of mood the lights would set that would make it perfect mood setting for the scene with our main boy in.

Day 1 - 6th November 2013

Today, we decided to do our filming that involved our main girl running down a corridor for the beginning part of our video. Cally, Marie and I picked up our main girl and went to Bluewater to ask for permission to film in their fire exit hallways. We went to the concierge desk to ask for permission and they said we had to go to the management suit to ask for their permission and so we did. Unfortunately, they did not allow us to film our video where we wanted to so we decided to do our filming outside in the car park. We realised that this would be the best place to do it as it makes it look spookier like we wanted to. We asked our main girl, Lily, to run down the middle of the road while Cally and I filmed her from different angles.
