Following Production Processes P3 (d)

In this section I am going to introduce all my ideas of making the music video.

Filming diary:

16/1/2016 We started filming after lunch at 1:30pm, luckily all of our crews and actors are living in the school campus, so it is not very hard to get everyone together to film. We started from the history classroom for the first scene. Actor A- Kent Tam and actor B- Bosco Ng, I requested them to wear casually like their normal self, they wore jeans and hoodies.

For me the most difficult part is to get the right time for everyone, some people are not free on Sunday, some people are not free at Saturday's afternoon, so we have to make an agreement on the time. Also, the location is quite difficult to book. I have to go ask the school manager for leaving a few classrooms unlock for us, and also ask for permission of the teacher who uses the classrooms. 

Filming is more complicated and difficult than I thought, we have to meet the suitable weather, and luckily that day was a sunny day, so the lighting was perfect. We also have to bring the equipments around, to prevent damaging them, we need to handle them in care all the time, they are quite inconvenience to bring into the woods. A few days before, it was raining, so the mud and the grass were still wet and slippery, we have to be more careful from falling off and also damaging the equipments. As the mud were too soft, the tripod could not stable properly on the ground, so we ended up holding it with shaky hands, therefore some of the scenes are a bit blurry, but they are still presentable. 

31/1/2016 I thought we have finished filming, however the clips aren't enough to make the music video.
So, we had to decide another day for filming. This time, we decided to film in the library, the benches next to the Food and Nutrition department and also in the football pitch. We would like some clips of the memories between the 2 actors. Again, they are requested to wear their own clothes and casually.
We asked them to play around like how guys usually do, and to act like good brothers to present their friendship. 
After about 2 hours of extra filming, we finally have enough material for the music video, we are pleased and went back to work on the music video.
This shooting surprises me because we finished filming in this short amount of time, and the clips are in good quality, I am sure they will help my music video to be more interesting!
