At home filming

Today i found it particular a very big challenge as i was filming all by my self and had to put the camera on record while filming. But successfully i got most of the shots needed in the house. The reason why i decided to use my house because i wanted the location o look more realistic which a teenage girl-young adult can relate to. I used the house because there is a variety where we can film whereas in a hotel room there are only possible 2 locations in the room we can film.

Using this as an advantage i used the space and lots of rooms in the housing. Creating a gloomy sad empty house without the boy there. I used orange lighting because their is a theme of the sunset so i wanted it to relate to that.
My sister helped me with 2 hots which were the 2 90 degree whip pan shots.
Today i realised i could be independent and learn more about individual filming.
I did have a major problem though the glass globe i bought for the video smashed just after 2 shots. This was major difficult because i had to use a broken glass globe in the rest of the song.

The shots i got included:
1.long shot of me in my room
2. Close upshots of me singing
3. mid/long shot of me singing to add variety into the lip sync and not only have one angle so the audience doesn't get bored.
4. some mid shots of me in the room to cut throughout the song when a melody is playing.
5.low angle shot of me and glass globe
6. 90 degree whip pan in my room
7. 90 degree whip pan to the other room where i have a nightmare
8. mid shot of me sleeping
9. mid shot of my reaction and facial expression
10. long shot of me in bathroom
11. low angle shot of me ringing underneath the glass table to add variety into the other shots as it would make the music video look more interesting.
12. long shot of me walking around the room
13. mid shot of me looking out the window from day light to night - this took an hour to do. I had to stay really still until it didn't turn dark enough to represent dark
14. mid shot of me sitting with back 2 wall x2
15. close up/point of view shot of computer images
16. mid shot of me looking at computer images
17. long shot of door closing which will hopefully be used at the end to represent end of song.

One problem i did encounter was the lack of time because i needed some of the shots in daylight but coming an hour distance from ollege i had about 15 minutes of daylight left which i used very quickly and used my time effieciently.

I did allot of additional footage just to be on the safe side just in case we need more home locations footage. Better to be safe than sorry.
