SNOW AWAY!!!

Today it is snowing again. This is really disrupting my video and the days we have to film are getting fewer. When things go bad you have to improvise and thats exactly what I will hopefully do today. I am hoping to recreate the shots I have taken already but in the snow, with Josh in winter clothes. The clothes and the scenery will look different but the composition of the shots will stay the same. In the video we can hopefully then flick backward and forward between snow and sun!

First Shoot!

We have just finished our first shoot and got some great shots. Here is an image to give you an idea of location and the first look at the video.

The Horrible Crows 'Behold the Hurricane'

Corin Hardy's Behold the Hurricane video is the type of video I would like to shoot. It is focused on mostly just one character and his feelings. The Superman song expresses lots of emotion and anger and this song by The Horrible Crows is a good match and inspiration to filming my video.

Risk Assessments

Location Changes

Top Barn Farm is still scheduled to be filmed on, so is the city centre. However I have found more locations as to where the video would be well suited. One of these is the Cob House Fisheries. It is another large farm but with more opportunities to film by lakes and ponds. They have long grass there and that is one of the main features I wanted in my video. Secondly, I needed a more confident location to allow us to light a camp fire on. The River School Grounds in Worcester have lots of land and places where fires are regularly lit. I have spoken to the owner of the Cob House and she has said yes to us filming there. The caretaker at the school has also agreed to allow us to build a fire and film round that too.

Timeline - 'Timeli'

This is a piece of software I am using on an apple iPad. It is more mobile and quicker to use but still just as effective as other timeline software. Here are some screen shots of my first plans on the timeline.

First Page of Shot List

This is just one page of the shot list for my video. I have roughly planned out what I want to do however I love to experiment when I work and come up with new ideas at the time. I have no doubt this list will change.
