This day of footage took place on the 6th of January 2018 at Balmoral Road, Altrincham. We met at 1 pm and started filming at around 1:10pm after setting up for shots and reviewing what needed to be done using the story board and lyrics sheet notes we have created.
After this we began focusing on filming Jack D on the guitar to get various shots and angles of him. This was key as the guitar is the main instrument within the song. We did low angle shots and long shots to show the presence of the guitar and its importance. In pretty much every shot jack is in the guitar is emphasis its importance. Close ups of the guitar and different angles were used too to display this.
About 20 minutes later we started filming Jack R in various shots as an individual. It was hard to include him at times due to just being a band member but he couldn't be the drummer due to having no access to drums. We included him in shots to show his presence in the band. This then took about 10 minutes to complete.
Next we returned to me lip syncing wonder wall in individual and group shots. This was important as it was key to make it look like a band music video due to lack of band footage available from the Smiths field recording. These shots included close ups, mid shots and long shots both me as an individual and as a band. When this was completed we decided on doing tracking shots using Jack's car to follow me walking and singing the song.
For the duration of this filming session we wore the same clothes to put into effect the Britpop genre convention of fashion and attire worn. We also used the brick wall as a key shot for the song and the long road to show the urban qualities and to display conventions. We also followed the structure of 3 seconds before 3 seconds after to get the correct and most important bits for shots we required. In addition, we also left the camera running in certain shots and had assigned standing places for shots using roadwork painting to match the shots.
This post was used to summarise what we did on recording day and our intentions. This can be helped in the future for us editing and help portray what we wanted to do for the music video and display the conventions we our trying to put across to the audience.
