Weekly Reflection Post: 1-5/12/2014 (KC)

We had booked Drama for 2nd and 4th December, ensuring that there would be no events where anything could go wrong.

On the 2nd, we filmed the boys. We set up the stage and gave it a checked pattern of black and brown; to give the 1920's style. We then set up the lights, with help from our teachers, in the correct position to ensure that the boys didn't look washed out. This session went a lot more smoothly and we achieve a lot more than we expected. The boys performed better than in any other session, they knew the words and were more themselves, they had charisma. As they were more comfortable, they sang the song instead of miming it and it was a lot more realistic.

We filmed 9 shots, from 3  different angles. We were unable to get any shots from the right, so when it came to editing it looked a little odd. However, we had a lot more variety of clips to choose from and it made it easier to edit with. The shots were filmed four/five times and we filmed the boys performing the whole of the song.

The session was a success, and the performance aspect of the Video was complete. We booked Drama on the 4th again, to film Bekki's part (and the balloons). We blew the balloons up, trying to get them to the same size as possible, and emptied them out on and around the stage. Bekki was alone, as the boys couldn't film the same day as Bekki did. So we improvised and made the narrative about her 'messing' around in the balloons. By the end of the session, we were able to say that we completed the filming of the Music Video.

On the 5th December, Michelle and I spent most of the day editing the Music Video, as we were managed to finish editing, we were unable to upload the Video. So we asked if it was possible to upload on the 8th.
