This week, Me and Ellie had started our filming with the cast members for our music video. Damanjyot and Bilal who signed for the casting roles in our music video. On the 16th February Sunday, we started our filming outside the Barley Lane Mental Health Hospital. We filmed in front of the mental health hospital and also on the sidewalks and pathways outside the hospital. Instead of filming on the high roads we decided that we should use the sidewalks as it was more convenience for us as we were not in the way of other people. We managed to get most our filming done on that day which was a positive for us. On Wednesday 12th February we went to London and filmed at many different locations such as the London Bridge, outside a restaurant, around St. Paul's Cathedral, and down near the River Thames. However many of the places were we chose to film at were not as planned we decided that they helped us as we travelled a long way and we made use out of the travelling as we filmed in different locations in London and not only the london bridge. On the 21st February which was a Friday, myself and Damanjyot went to Ellies house so we could film all the house scenes which were needed for the music video.
How does this fit with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas for the project?
Having a production schedule is necessary as it allows you to be organised and aware of any situations which may occur. Me and my partner Ellie had to make sure our production schedule was not changed or discontinuous, and having a production schedule helped us to not make plans on that day of shooting. It also helped us so that there were no problems with filming it helped guide us. Filming meant that the job roles became serious and we had to be responsible. This also meant that we had to make sure everything was as planned and that our filming was close to complete before the end of the holidays.
Were there any problems?
Yes we did have problems which occurred during filming. For example one which was the weather, we were aware that many times the weather will come across as a problem for us. Many times there was rain and on the 15th February which was a Saturday on which we were originally going to film outside Barley Lane Mental Health Hospital the rain was very heavy which meant that we were unable to film. Another problem which we faced while filming was that our cast member Damanjyot couldn't film on Thursday 20th February at Ellies house. This was because, Damanjyot had a situation to do with home so we had to change the date in which we could film which was a problem for us. As it was holidays and everyone else did have plans for other days as we had originally thought that we would be done filming by Thursday 20th February .
How did you/will you overcome them?
Me and my partner Ellie overcame all the problems and we dealt with the situation maturely. My partner as well as myself often checked the weather forecast on the internet to see if it would rain on the days we were planning to film and also for the whole week. We went to Barley Lane Mental Health Home on Sunday 16th February because as you can see on the picture below, it was suppose to be sunny on that day. We decided to film on that day and it was infact sunny all day which was an advantage for allow us. For the situation of filming in Ellies house, we all had to adjust our plans. Ellie had originally planned to go shopping early in the morning, but she had persuaded her mum to let Me and our cast member to film in the morning for at least an hour and a half and she let us which was very thoughtful of her. Aswell as Ellie i also had plans as i was suppose to stay round my cousins house from Thursday night however due to this problem i told my family members that on Friday morning after filming i would come over which i had done. As me and Ellie dealt with the situation calmly and went out of our ways and adjusted the filming to our timetable we had completed all our filming which was supposed to be done on the Thursday.
What are the plans for the following week?
For the following week, me and my partner Ellie still have filming which need to be done for the music video. The scenes which were not done in the holidays are all the scenes which require us to use the school equipments of places in which the school is needed. One of the scenes involves greenscreen which is provided for us at school.The green screen is Damanjyot performing in a mental home, and the scene where Damanjyot opens the door to where Bilal is. We also have some shoots where she is lip-syncing at Bilal and intimidating him, and so we are planning to do this in a room in the school. Hopefully all the filming will be done by the end of the following week.
