Filming

On Sunday we filmed the final pool scene, overall it went 'swimmingly'. I acquired a contact from one of my friends who cleans a small-time swimschool for children's pool and I managed to get in contact with him. He left a message on my answerphone giving us permission to use his pool for 2 hours, free of charge. We also received written permission from him of which a copy of will be uploaded soon.

Last Thursday we also filmed some more 'running' shots of Charlie and Emiel as in comparison to the amount of shots Richard is in, there are a lot less. Unfortunately there was a tiny part missing on the tripod meaning that we had to film all of the shots handheld. Even though handheld shots can be quite effective when used to impression pace and adrenaline, we are hoping that it won't look tacky as there is too much 'wobble'. Unfortunately, due to timing constraints we were unable to come back to school, get a new tripod and then go and re-film. This has helped me realise that even when in a rush, it's always best to thoroughly check all of the equipment before going on-set, even such small details like where the tripod connects to the camera.

Today is Monday and we now have until Thursday to complete the editing. This seems very do-able, but as a group we must make sure that we don't rush it, we need to take our time and look at every single detail with such scrutiny to maintain professionalism and quality within our music video.
