filming on wednesday 08/10/08

On Wednesday during lesson time we decided to go out and do some more filming as there were a few shots we still needed. We decided that we did not have enough time to go to town so went down luard road which is very close to college giving us enough time to get there and back.

Once we got to the location we wrote out a list of shots that we still needed, some shots of Alfie's feet, a voyeuristic shot e.g behind a bush, a shot of Alfie in front with people following him and some of Alfie walking down the street singing.

When we started to film we realised that these shots would not coordinate with the other shots we have taken as the lighting was different and Alfie was wearing different clothes, so Kate came up with an idea that would make these things acceptable and work together in the video, we could have Alfie in lots of different outfits but still singing the same song, so when we edited it we would make the shots really snappy and change really quickly in between the shots of Alfie in the different clothes but he would be singing the same line.

Within this idea we had to more, when Alfie was changing clothes we could either have him standing in the same place, or walking down the same street while his clothes changed, but his surroundings wouldn't. Or we could have Alfie walking down about four different streets and on each street his outfit would be different, and we would have Alfie walk through a gate or jump over the road and then he would be a different street.

Because we only had this idea one day before the rough cut was due we will have to do the other shots either in lesson time or in half term. We will use the film that we have already done, but because it is all very similar e.g Alfie walking down the road singing, the new idea would make it a lot more interesting and give us a variety of shots.
