Overview of feedback:
  • we had a range of feedback regarding the time lapses, both positive (very effective) and negative (too long), however all members of our group and our teacher felt that the positive effect the time lapses had on the final product outweighed the negative comments and therefore we decided to leave the time lapses as they were
  • people thought that the meaning behind the music video was very powerful and relatable
  • the paint was considered a creative representation of a way of portray mental illness
  • a lot of people were not keen on having the fact at the end of the rough cut as they felt it was unnecessary and as a result of this we are going to take the fact out of the music video, meaning that the final cut ends on a time lapse of both actors

Here is the rough cut of our music video.

Images whilst filming

Photo 1: Setting up the camera ready to film the part where Charlie wipes the paint onto his face in the mirror. 

Photo 2: Annie cleaning paint from Charlie; throughout the duration of our filming time, we had to spend a lot of time cleaning for each different shot. We tried to film each shot at least twice, so that we had plenty of footage to choose from when it came to editing. 

Photo 3: Annie setting up equipment for Charlie to hold the camera himself in order to get a point of view shot. We tried to get as many different angles and shots as we could, as something that we noted from our film opening last year is that our angles and shots were not very varied.

Filming review 2/2/17

Our filming overall has been a huge success. It worked well as we managed to get all of our filming done in all locations in two days, however it may have been more effective if we made more storyboards and set them out more clearly as we didn't really use them the entire time whilst filming which took longer than it would have done if we followed them more clearly. We may need to re - film the CV part with Charlie, as we feel it would be more effective if he was seen actually trying to go into shops, which we hadn't really planned.

Everything ran very smoothly, we hadn't planned the part where Charlie is in the bath and paint comes out when he squeezes the shower gel however we feel this is a very effective part and this idea stemmed to us coming up with the idea of the paint coming from the water bottle into the glass and further onto Annie making the coffee which cleverly turned into paint.

If we were to do anything differently I think it would be to manage our time more effectively so that we filmed earlier on in the year and had more time to make changes if necessary.
