Music Video Progress - Filming Process

For the past few weeks my group and I have been in the process of filming our Music Video. Since beginning filming there have been many changes to the filming itself, the people involved in the music video and the group.

To begin with the group consisted of three people including myself, however due to unfortunate circumstances we lost a member and this did pose a problem as all the planning we had done for the filming process of the video had to be rearranged to fit the two of us that were left in the group. Me and my partner Chantelle filmed a scene for the music video with our male actor and the filming we did went thoroughly well. We filmed scenes in Brockwell Park to emphasize our male character's photography occupation. In the park scene he is seen taking pictures of the scenery which we purposefully decided to do to showcase his photography occupation.

After having filmed these scenes Chantelle and I joined forces with our fellow classmate Kristal as her partner left so we explained our music video idea to Kristal including telling her about who was involved and this where we all decided that it would be best to assign the role of Alicia to our peer Marina as she was already involved in the making of kristal's video so this would be easier then having to ask around. We also listened to any ideas Kristal had to contribute to the making of the video as incorporating all our ideas together will allow for a successful music video to be made.  

We began filming with Kristal and filmed scenes with Marina in the park to show how she's looking at her male interest, we also filmed scenes in Marina's bedroom, and also at Chantelle's house so that we have a contrast of backgrounds and scenery. To also add to the different emotions being felt at different parts of the song, e.g the lyric 'you don't know name' at this stage of the song the emotions being felt are sad, disheartening but also hope that he will find out. So at this stage we could incorporate one of the backgrounds such as the white or the black.
