Second section to my introduction

First part of my introduction

Filming

Yesterday I completed a set of filming with my main character/performer Josh. During this session we filmed the introduction, a part to the first verse and a part to the first chorus.

Planning for filming (Barcelona)

Tomorrow I am off on a school trip to Barcelona and fortunately my main character for my music video is coming along. We are going to many locations in Barcelona which are very stunning, one which stands out the most is Park guell. Park guell is located in the centre of Barcelona and features many colourful plants and mosaic patterned features. I plan to get some tracking shots whilst in Barcelona and experiment to see if they can fit into my music video. I shouldn't have any limitations on my filming in Barcelona because I will have a lot of free time and the weather will be much better than it currently is in England.

Evaluation of Jamie C shots

In these shots I have used Jamie to play the son of the prostitute. I have linked these shots to the lyrics of the song 'What would you do if your son was at home crying all alone'. I have used adverts from websites such as NSPCC for inspiration as many of there adverts feature extremely innocent looking children and that is what I have tried to achieve in these shots. My favourite shot of Jamie is the last shot when he looks up into the camera because it looks as if he is crying out for help and wants his mum home. I have used the shot of Jamie throwing the tennis ball against the kitchen cupboard to show boredom and poverty. He is bored because he is forever at home whilst his mum is out working and only has a tennis ball because his mum cant afford for him to watch TV or play video games which a child of that young age would normally do. My setting for this was a small kitchen at school. The reason I have used this kitchen is because it is very bare, dated and dirty like you would imagine for someone living in poverty. It also looks extremely cold and dull. All these factors make you feel even more sorry for the little boy sitting on the floor.

Props

This week I was able to collect props for my music video. I collect around 15 empty alcohol bottles for my shots with Bethany and Josh and was also able to get a lamp for my outdoor shots. My plan now is to find a sofa for my shots with Bethany and Josh.

Filming

I have organized my actors and have planned a time table for filming. I plan to shoot my shots with Bethany and Rebekah on Thursday 16th of March and I plan to shoot my shots with Bethany and Josh on Wednesday the 22nd of March. I will then use the rest of my time before half term to edit my footage.
