Filming: Reflecting back on first day of filming

Our first day of filming our remake music video went  smoothly. Our group were lucky that the weather began to clear up, which meant we were left with a good amount of time to complete one location shoot. 

As according to plan, Nabilla our artist wore a bohemian style outfit with an edgy look, which consisted of her wearing a full length maxi skirt, a knitted jumper and leather jacket. 

Our filming didn't take no less than 2 hours to film, I expect we will get better with time in each location as it took some time setting the camera up, and for our artist to get into character. Firstly, we began filming with our artists against a brick wall, with her singing the entire song. As part of our equipment, we were introduced to using a speaker which played our song on full volume, so that it will be easier to edit and the lip syncing will match the song. Our first shoot against the brick wall went relatively easy, each member of our group performed vital tasks. 

Our second shoot, was using the camera in a hand held style following Nabilla J swirl around the lamp post, being ditzy and having a fun time. We played the full length of the song from YouTube  which meant our artist had to stay in character for almost 4 minutes each time we began filming. Our third shoot, was quickly taking some footage of the Paget St road sign, which we felt would be a good idea to put in our music video also. 

While filming, our group faced difficulties in terms of the battery power being used up. Despite being given a spare battery, once inserted that was also low. When filming again, I will make sure both battery packs that are given to us have been charged and ready to use.
