Re-filming Scene 3


Today I managed to re-film the first part of the music video where the main character Rose is walking across the bridge.
I feel the camera was much steadier this time and I can see I've gotten used to controlling the speed of the zooming in and out movements.
Another plus side is that the weather was actually sunny today and not as bleak, dull and dark as it was when I previously filmed. I did a lot of outtakes today, cause I was worried about the lip syncing of the lyrics and whether or not they were in harmony with the song.
Shortly after that scene I suggested we use a small closed off park bit near my home area, but when we got there it was not the look I was going for. The ground looked muddy and dirty and the bench looked old and crooked plus there was no nice scenery that I may have liked for an establishing shot, so then we hopped straight back towards Palmer's Green, where I decided to film in Broomfield Park. The ducks flying round the pond looked like a nice establishing shot to have and the bench was clean enough to sit on for the main character so this setting was much better. I made her sing the chorus' of the song and I mounted the tripod so that I could get a tilt shot pointing downwards.
I thought by recording her singing the chorus to the song in different places would give me more variety of shots for when I want to jump cut from each scene to the next. But I still want to use the green screen fabric I bought. So I did some more research then went to Argos to buy 2 clothing rails to hang it on. I'm hoping I will find a big enough space to use it in and that lighting will not be a problem.
Tomorrow I'll be filming scenes 6 where Rose and her friends are seen walking in the outdoor mall. Hopefully I can squeeze in scene 7 also, where Rose is at my house with her friends.
