More filming

Today I went out and did more filming.

To do this, we went to Valence park in Dagenham.

I chose to film here as it has a play area, which I thought would be a good place to have the visit outside as its somewhere she can easily have fun. It also has a lake, which is quiet due to fishing, and has ducks, geese and squirrels which I though would be good to film as well.

There is also Valence house, which has a garden that could be used to film in too.

Second day of filming

Today was the second day of filming.

We filmed some more in my house, as after watching the footage I decided some scenes didn't look very good. After this, we went to Hainault forest.

I choose to film in Hainault as it's not that far from my house, and is very large and so there is less chance of us being disturbed while filming. I also know of an opening which has some wooden sculptures which I thought would be good to film Natasha with. It also has a meadow next to the forest which I also need to use in the video when she goes outside.

Started filming

Today, I started to film some of my music video. We started off with the lip syncing, which is the longest part of the filming process. This is because for the lip syncing we needed Natasha, the girl who is in the video, to have her facepainted. To do the painting, we got a friend of ours who is good at art to do it. It took about an hour to do the facepaints alone, partly due to the girl doing it being a perfectionist and me needing to keep stopping her to take photos to use at the start of the song. The facepaint shows a cloudy sky with a rainbow.

The finished facepaint:

After going through the actual lip syncing and filming it several times, we moved on to the filming inside the house. We shot on the stairs, where the covered window was, in the hallway for when she sits in the corner, and in the kitchen where the back door is, for when she finally goes outside.
