First day of filming

Filming began on Thursday 29th of November 2012 shortly after the storyboard had been drawed up and finalized.
In this first day of shooting we began to film the interior segments of the music video in which the protagonist would be seen at his home. we film these scenes as these were the most convenient and available to shoot at the time and they were just after the intro scene. We also realised that we could film the introduction another time  as the music videos introduction and conclusion take place in the same setting.
Filming took place at Shayne's home as he only lived 20 minutes from schooled however it took us slightly longer because of the bus strikes that were occuring during this day. The first and only problem we occured was the camera not fitting on the tripod but after some ingenius DIY the camera was stuck fast to the tripod. The rooms we used were Shayne's bedroom, bathroom and livingroom.

Film Stills



This is still showing  my team member Michael seting up the camera for the next shot in it we are discussing what is the best way to tackle the next shot. we Used michael's own camera and a tripod provided to us by the school.



This image is taken from our story board it shows our protagnist just getting out of bed and sitting on the edge of his bed with his hands in his head, this is to show our charcters depression and nochalance towards the upcoming day. The shot is taken from a high angle to show the charcacters feelings as he feels weak.

Focus group

Our team held a focus group after school with two classmates and tried to find out what attracted them to a music video. the focus group was aged 17-18, the age of our target audience, we did this to broadening our knowledge around what makes a good music video and also to broadening our knowledge around who our target audience were.
