Updates and Shooting

So me and Chloe are currently filming away with a hope of having all the filming done by the end of the week and to have a rough cut of the video up by the end of next week, so very bust at the moment.  At the moment none of the band scenes have been shot, but there is a hope that all of the filming for that will go ahead tomorrow and be done in one session as it should be the easiest to shoot as we don’t have to factor in things such as weather, plus filming it in doors means if we don’t get it all done in that session we can come back again, set up the instruments and finish it in another session. So far all the filming that has been taking place outside has gone well with little problems stopping us. Not much of it has been done however due to problems such as the change in weather, which was somewhat of a problem for continuity but seen as how we are in the winter weather period, I don’t see the weather changing dramatically too much so that won’t be too much of a factor, unless the rumours are true about snow coming soon, if so I hope it holds off till next week. So far we haven’t had much problem from people of the public getting in the way or interrupting except for one person who wasn’t happy with us filming outside her house. This occurred when me and Chloe were last filming, we were shooting in my street and then all of a sudden an old woman with curlers in her hair just stormed out her house and started yelling at me and Chloe, saying she didn’t want us filming in front of her house, despite the fact I tried explaining to her we were media students filming to gain our A levels and education, to which she had no understanding of what media studies was and no care for our education so we had to move on. A final thing that sort of halted filming was that I was very ill last week and was off for a couple of days. But I’m feeling a lot better and I’m very confident that all filming will hopefully be finished by the end of the week. Me and Chloe have everything mapped out fairly well, we know what we are doing in terms of the chase scenes or should I say for the rest of the chase scene, all the route of it is mapped out and so there are no problems there, we just need the middle sections of the chase scenes as we already have the beginning and most of the end. The band stuff should all be done soon like I mentioned earlier, although more changes might have to be made to those scenes again in terms of the skull dancers, we might have to drop them because of lack of props for them as I have no funds at the moment to afford the skull masks but we are debating to maybe using make up, plus there is the problems of finding people who can all work after school to help us get the footage but a final decision has yet to be made about the dancers. That’s all the updates I have for now, so stay tuned because I’m sure there will be some more, I’ll discuss what takes place with the band footage and of course that all important rough cut.
