8th and 9th day of filming

Reshoot

I reshot Luis' close up and parts of his mid shot that I was finding difficult to lip sync because towards the beginning of filming he did not know the words that well. Also for some reason a couple of shots from the narrative section have not turned up after importing them so I want to do them wednesday. I am also pleased to say that my digipak is complete. 
Nevertheless on the 8th filming session rob did not turn up so we decided to do it lunch the next day so that he had no reason not to make it as his escuse last time was he couldn't get a lift home. Fair enough he is paying for the privalidge of the school bus but again the communication is slacking I should have taken everyone's number at the beginning of the project. Even though rob forgot his costume the lunch we were filming he turned up and used his physical education kit and my friends jumper to cover logos. Although this was not the mise en scene I wanted I needed to get the filming done and so I even did the shot in the corridor with people there because I wanted to keep the continuity as I thought either my friend would have forgotten the jumper or rob would have forgotten either the PE kit or filming altogether and I could easily edit out the sound later  in post production. Anyway the day rob didn't come I managed to get to my d of e meeting at 5 and remade the VIP tickets which I lost last shooting session. This is the new design as I could not print in colour this time:
I also printed off a sheet of paper saying VIP only on it to hide the sign "drama studio 3" and increase the verismillitude of the project.

Inspiration

While trying to lip sync the music video I wanted to see if there was a conventional order to the performance section and the narrative section. Then I found the above which is amazing because it gave me the motivation to continue editing because I did not realise how much time lip syncing takes when choosing my brief.
I also found this amazing video about lip syncing which is below and so may make my editing a bit easier:


I also wanted to work out how to put the copy right symbol at the end of my music video as this is conventional and is in the Pixie Lott music video Nasty, so I looked it up and found this video tutorial:

However, I did not know what the option button was so looked it up and fount this:

The internet is amazing :)

7th and 8th day of filming

I finally got everyone together to film the scene when the protagonists meet the band - well I say that the audience assume I have due to the over the shoulder shot of Imogen and Point of View shot of Rob. This is due to the fact that rob was not their I went to his tutor room the morning of the filming session because I had reschedualed the session as I could not obtain the drums on the Thursday. Maybe I need to work on my time management skills as I did not give Rob much notice. However, when I spoke to his tutor he was in assembly and she said she would get the message to him. Later that day she said that she had found Rob and he said he couldn't make it without any reason. He messaged me later saying that he was ill. I said to him that it would have been nice if he had let me know and then let it go to remain professional because I did not want it to interfere with future filming days. This is because later today I will be filming the reaction shots and when the protagonists enter the room. The band won't have to be here thank goodness. Hopefully all goes to plan tonight because I have a duke of Edinburgh meeting at 5 so will need to finish filming by then.
