New Date for Fiming

I have talked to the people who own the field and also to other people who I hope that will help me in my video. Both groups have said that the date I have pitched to them (3RD JANUARY) is available to most of them.

Because it is a bank holiday there is no school still and I am not working meaning that I can make the time a bit later for everyone. I'll therefore make the time 10.00 to 14.00(ish).

Let's hope the weather is good!

Saturday 18th

So I've had a very frustrating morning. Trying to find where the main character actually WAS was a big problem. He decided that he couldn't be bothered to turn up. In the end only two people actually did turn up. In the end we had to cancel. Very frustrating and annoying so we will have to re-organise it for another time...

Weather

So the weather is playing havoc once again and it may be that we may not be able to film tomorrow morning since the weather is due to be below freezing. I will make a decision about whether to go ahead with the filming tomorrow morning.

It also seems that the help that I have asked for may also not materialise. 4 people have already dropped out. I'm going to need to have at least 6 people (Including Dan - Main character) helping out with all the other stuff going on around the field.

We shall see how it goes...

Thanks Tesco

I have enough cardboard now!

Reasoning for One Shot

I plan to do this video completely in one shot but why do I want to do this?

Well there are two reasons: It fits the mood of the song, and it is something unexpected

Mood:

The song flows nicely with the choral parts placed in the song and the way an acoustic guitar is used instead of an electric one. I think that with the way the song is set in it's mood would fit well with a one cut shot

Unexpected:

With the new technology that is available to me I can do so much more than just making a standard video with the cuts like I did last year. It is evident that with the music videos that are around today the good ones are the ones that push the boundaries and this is what I want to do in this case.

Date and Venue confirmed!

So I have spoken to the people from Ignite and the people who own the field and I can film in the field on the 18th of December at 8:00 in the morning. I will remind people at the next ignite meeting and then it will be time for me to do the filming!

Things left to organise:

Signs left to do: New, Coming through, Difference, change, and the diversion signs

Get buckets and small balls (From Andy Jones)

Get Map from in the study

I will create a checklist later so that when we get to the actual film day I can make sure that I bring everything with me and not have to keep going back and forth

Creating the signs

So with the placards that the people will be holding I got some scrap cardboard and ripped it up so it looked fairly raggedy. I then got some black poster paint and tried to not do it too carefully to again make it look like it is a bit like a homeless sign.

These will be used near the end for the parts of the man's life that are trying to grab his attention. This will also be used for the direction home signs within the video.

I still need to make the diversion signs and the new, coming through, difference and change.
