The first day of filming, Lola and I went to our first location as scheduled, which was one of our Actor's house. Here, we filmed the couple shots that are included in our music video to represent the theme of 'love' and helping us to relate lyrics and visuals. The shots that we have managed to get here are really good in my opinion, especially because of the natural outside lighting. We were very lucky with the way in which the weather had turned out on this day. This is because throughout the day, the weather was very bad and rainy, which isn't what we wanted and was thinking about having to cancel and postpone. Luckily, throughout the afternoon, the weather started to pick up, and it became sunny and a clear beautiful afternoon / evening, so myself and Lola were able to take some really nice shots with our high quality camera.
When we arrived at Jack's house, we thought that it would be best to film as soon as we arrived since we were unsure of what the weather was going to end up being like, since it had gone from heavily raining to beautiful sunlight. After about an hour and a half of filming (3:30-5:00pm) my camera better died, meaning that we had to take a little break in order to charge the battery and make sure that there was enough to film the rest of what Lola and I had planned to do with Alice and Jack. Whilst the camera battery was charging, Lola and I decided that we would go through additional shots that we could film whilst we had Alice and Jack with us, in order to allow us to have a good variety of shots to choose from when it came down to editing the footage together.
Overall, the filming afternoon / evening went really well in my opinion, even though we had to stop for a little while in order to charge the camera batter. I think that these shots that we filmed with Jack and Alice have turned out nicely since they are shots that we are slotting into the music video at times where it is in relation to the lyrics that I being sang in the song. It is a nice narrative that we have constructed. I think that these shots are more simplistic to film than Day 2's shooting schedule. This is because when filming couple shots, there aren't that many to film, since Lola and I don't want to portray the shots and our video as a whole as 'cringy' because of the couple for example, holding hands. Therefore, we haven't included any shots like that because then we are leading our video into the stereotypical love song music video, and that is not what we want to create for our target audience.
