Filming: Day Four

For this day of filming I had already taken some footage of the sky whilst walking home from college one day, this footage didn't turn out the way I wanted it to be as I wanted to have the clouds moving through the sky so we could speed it up with time lapse. That day there weren't any clouds, as the sky was mainly just plain grey. However I saw the footage and noticed that the trees I walk past whilst walking home are towering above the camera and are being quite intimidating, giving a sense of vulnerability and fear. This isn't the same tone we were looking for however we kept the footage as we believed it could still work in the music video.

During this day we spent most of the day in the editing suite uploading the footage we currently had onto the computer hard drive, although at the end of this day we went into the city of Manchester to film the alleyway scene. Here we found a very small and secluded alleyway that worked perfectly. We had a few ideas for how the filming should go therefore we tried them all, one idea was for the victim to walk through the alleyway with the main character following her, and for her to turn round and see this main character. And the other idea was for her to turn round and see nothing, then turn her head back round and notice the main character at the end of the alleyway giving more of a supernatural feel to it. We will see which idea works better in the editing process. We finished this day off with some footage of the big wheel in Manchester, just for a time-lapse idea to cut to a few times in the music video.
