Update - Story Board

Today we have been refining our new story board as we changed our idea quite significantly form the original plan. This has been a lengthily process as it requires a lot of ideas and creativity as well as focus in order to get a good story board, in the next could of days it will be posted on the blog and we will complete an 'animatic' version of it.

Picture: Shot ideas we were coming up with

New Band Member Recruited

We have now been able to cast a replacement band member for Max (who is now permanently unavailable). And he will be introduced to the song and video ideas today ready for filming tomorrow.
We contacted a significant number of potential candidates, many candidates weren't available for briefing and filming on the three day we had chosen and therefore were unsuitable for the role.
In the end we narrowed it down to two candidates and chose Louis Grocott for the role.
We are happy with this decisions and see Louis to be a valuable addition to the team.

Filming Dates

We have decided that we are going to film on the 26th and 27th of November, this will be at the location we plan to shoot in Leicester City Centre. The shots will be taken in places similar to those in the location mood bards of the urban environments, the lighting for our video is a mixture between sundown type lighting and darker more night like lighting. For this reason we are going to film from about 5PM until we finish with the shots we need on each day.
One of our band members is unavailable on one of the days so all of the shots relating to him will be done on the 27th.

The test shots taken on 20/11/15 were not of satisfactory quality and will only be used to demonstrate a vague representation of the ideas we have.

Filming Update

As of 12/10/15 we haven't yet started to film our video, however we have been working hard in order to finish our plans on the locations, props and roles so that as soon as we start filming (ideally half term so 19/10/15 - 25/10/15) we are ready to start and will need little interruption to plan something.

I believe that this is going to be highly beneficial so that we can get all the scenes filmed in the least amount of time possible in order to maximize time editing, this will allow us to finish the video earlier. This will give us time to decide what we like and what we don't like, and due to the fact that we allowed time for this we may be able to alter the video to incorporate these changes.

We have now finalized the fact that we want to to film in two locations, in order to achieve the best results possible (in a city street and in a studio). This means that we need to organised a studio (ideally this would be the one the school have available). And get the equipment ready.
