Charlie Kirk and Brad Evans
This filming went well in terms of getting all the shots I needed but in terms of quality of shots, weather and rush for time, it didn't go as smoothly as planned. I had planned to shoot a couple of shots before Charlie arrived however she arrived earlier than I anticipated meaning I had to shoot these with her watching which isn't a bad thing, it gave me more time to explain the story to her however I felt I was wasting the time I had with her. The shots of Charlie went really well due to her understanding of what emotions of hurt and abandonment I wanted her given character to portray. Even though these shots were well angled, the lighting let the shots down and even when I applied the white balance it didn't imporve the quality of the shot. This meaning I will probably have to ask Charlie to re-film parts of the this filming session to improve the quality of the shots.
As I didn't manage to film a few shots before Chalrie arrived, I had completely forgot to film some of the shots which involved symbolism of how Charlie was feeling (Cut outs of words such as 'abandoned' and 'heart broken' that was meant to be placed around her head) I only realised this after I had finished filming with Charlie and when she had left. I really wanted to keep this shot and didn't want to ring Charlie and ask her to come back so I re-thought my idea and set up a mini set that night using a black piece of material and the cut outs then just shot mid shots of the words to insert into the beginning of the video. However when I re-film with Charlie I will remember to film my original idea and compare which one works for me and my video.
When Brad arrived, I hadn't finished filming parts of Charlie alone so my schedule was changed again and Brad was waiting a little bit. The weather didn't look great all morning and by the time we got to the outside locations it didn't hold out for me and started to rain. This weather worked well for Charlie being upset as it representaed her state of mind and her feelings at that moment (breaking up with Matt) however the weather got worse meaning the shots where Brad and Charlie were 'happy together' were filmed in the rain. I had tried to wait for the weather to settle however my actors had to hurry as time was running out and I had to finish my shots as I wanted to just have 2 filming days.
Many of my shots are not of great quality however some shots are quite good and can be used for the video. Some essential shots will need to be re-filmed at a later date to acheive the high quality music video I want to.
