First Day of Filming

On our first day of filming we filmed all our in school scenes, we managed to get good cinematic shots, but what we hadn't predicted was that there would be a lot of students moving around the corridors during lesson. As our shots are meant to have the main character on his own, this caused lots of takes to ensue. We also had to make sure that we kept the same shot for each part of the scene when we cut in-between scenes.

Pre-Production

This is us filming our animatic, we set up the tripod to get steady shots but found it was difficult to move around well without missing shots, also whilst in time with the music so we did it handheld instead.
We needed to get good light on the sketched shots so we used our schools new gallery as it has galss roof and we were able to get over cast light on the shots
After filming the animatic we decided we need to edit the song in order to reduce it to the time length we are required to have as it went over the end of our animatic.

Locations

When we went searching for locations we traveled along some narrow roads out of the way from the main town to reflect the feeling of loneliness we are trying to get across in our music video. We came across a convenient piece of graffiti that says 'Lost Your Way', this fitted our music video so well that we decided touse it in our production.We also used these shots of the road and of thescenes we want to film in reverse to create the effect of something not being right. We decided to uses the small weir to do this as you will only notice the water falling up it if you concentrate on it.
