Filming at the O2

When we went to film at the O2, arguably I had the most fun that we have had during this whole process. Maybe it is because I got to feature in the film on this part (Acting debut). We did though have our problems, as I clearly documented in this short clip. 

We however dealt with this problem by going to film indoors, this made for a better outcome as there were more people coming from the tube station heading towards the exit. This made for a better scene as you can see in the video. In the shot where Lisa is sat by herself... soon after her relationship with Raja is over. We wanted to have this scene because the scene portrays her isolation, and loneliness to the audience. We got the idea to use this shot from the A team video by Ed Sheeran http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAWcs5H-qgQ&ob=av3n.

Filming at hall place.

i have just got home from filming at Hall place (Bexley). Today we went to film some external shots for our video in the park. We were hoping to film Lisa running back to Peter (Daniel Merriweather) but unfortunately, this did not go according to plan as this location had changed from the time Lisa and Raja had previously been there, and to make it worse it was raining so we could not experiment too much (for health and safety reasons). We did how ever manager to film the opening sequence because we found a street light that looked perfect and the lighting that evening was looking perfect for the shot that we had in mind. We also managed to film the end scene although this was done as an experiment. Me and Raja just thought that I should hold up the camera above my head and follow the Lisa and Peter without them noticing. Everything went better than planned because the body language and actions of both Lisa and Peter portrayed them as a happy couple. This aerial shot allowed us to have a varied range of shots in our production work. We also filmed some solo shots of Peter singing to different parts of the song, we thought we would use these shots to show a variety of shots.

Editing Time

Today was the first time me, Raja and Lisa all got time to sit round the editing machine to edit some footage. The software we are going to be using to edit our work is Adobe Premier Pro CS4. This is an industry standard bit of software. On the left is an image of us editing the footage. #TeamRaTaSA.
