Filming Update

On December 1st we went back to Deans Diner to film our performance side of the music video. We took shots of the same thing from different angles and ensured that we had more than enough footage in order to fill the whole song. Whilst we were in Braintree we went over to Freeport outlet centre and filmed some of the narrative part as the 'future husband' treats the artist 'like a lady' buying her clothes and presents. 

Whilst filming we realised that we couldn't change the lighting as the Diner was open but there was quite a lot of natural light coming through the front windows. We decided that, to get round this problem that we would use a colour corrector of Final Cut Express when editing in order to get the right look for our pop music video.

Editing Update

We have started to edit as we go along whilst filming. As we were filming the early parts of the video, and editing them, we have realised that our Treatment may not be realistic and may have to make a lot of changes to the way we film and the order of the video sequence. We have changed this by filming extra footage to what we need so that we can fill any gaps easily in our video, but still keeping in the theme and story line of the video, and not going off on a tangent and confusing the audience.

Filming Update

As we are coming up to christmas the diner is starting to get busy. We wanted to film again this friday, the 28th november however we was not able to secure permission for that day in Deans Diner. However they have given us permission to film in the diner on monday 1st december, this is where we will get all of the performance filmed. We will also film some of the narrative scenes in the surrounding designer outlet centre. 

Prop List 1

These are the props we used in our first set of filming for the narrative side of our video:

• Burnt Apple pie
• Fresh boxed apple pie
• Shopping bags filled with food
• Candles
• Single rose
• iPad and stand
• Oven mitten

The apple pies/recipe on iPad/grocery bags are used in the video as synaesthesia. The artist sings about each of these items and at this point in the song we will see each of them. This is quite typical of music video but it is especially a convention of pop music videos.
