Filming Day Two

Today, we re-filmed the parts in the intro where Tavonga and Eboni are in the kitchen.
The reason we are re-filming this is either because it was filmed portrait and so not the right size for the music video, or it was done on the iPad and so it wasn't good enough quality to use for the video. Eboni had the portrait footage on her phone which made it easy to film as we knew exactly what we needed to re-film and also so it was quick and easy to do as we didn't want to keep Tavonga for too long due to the fact that he will also be filming on Thursday with us.

Firstly, Eboni got ready exactly how she did on the last filming session wearing the same heels, pencil skirt and shirt with similar make-up and hair which will match up to the other shots from the original filming session.

The first shot we did was the one to the left. It is when the phone is placed in the glass cupboard which Eboni walks over to and gets the wine glasses out of. We had to re-film this shot as last time it was done portrait instead of landscape and so it wasn't the right size for the music video. We did this easily and so that the audience could explore more locations in the setting rather than just long shots from a distance.

The next shot which we filmed and I took charge in directing was when Eboni walks in the door and throws her keys and bag onto the table. I took this shot as it was my idea when we did the original filming. When placing the camera to get the right angle and focus, I found that on the trial run it looked good with the blurry effect and so when I was focusing in on the screen I made sure to blur out the background and focus on the table immediately infront of the camera which I thought gave it an extremely professional look:




The next shot that we filmed was the arguing scene. This was done through two differing
perspectives, each filmed by myself and Adam. Adam filmed Eboni walking in, getting the glasses and putting them down on the kitchen surface next to Tavonga who was angrily stood there on his phone. I filmed this scene from an extremely high angle shot on my own phone. I did this by standing on a chair and raising my arms as high as I could to capture a very high angle shot.

The last piece of filming we did was something which we didn't do in the original filming but something that was to be included in the video that we forgot. This was the door scene which was when Eboni walks out the front door of the house and then turns back and they are both facing the door (facing each other). I mainly directed this as it was my idea to do it on the storyboard so I went on the stairs to get an elevated view of Eboni walking out the door and Tavonga placing himself against it after. I then did the close-ups separately and went outside with Eboni to film her going back and leaning on the door from the action shot and then also a close-up and then went back inside to film Tavonga's close up on the door to ensure we have as many different angles as we possibly can use to match up to make it as professional as possible.
