Filming

Unfortunatley we have had another delay in our filming, we were supposed to filming today at 3:20. But our actor Ryan Hawkins has sadly been diagnosed with a lung infection, we did not want to make Ryan any worse than his condition is already as we would be out in the cold for at least an hour. This however won't really delay our filming and editing process as we will be able to catch the shots we want of Ryan anytime after we have completed our beach filming day, which is the main focus of our music video. We will wait for Ryan to get better, and produce a new call sheet when we know the new date we will be filming the wood shots.

South Shields

A few months ago we all had a trip to South Shields on a Sunday, we got the bus there which was easy enough but what we didn't realise is that the buses on the way back don't go back to our home destination after a certain time. So I have looked at the bus times for a Sunday to make sure that we don't have the same problems coming home as we encountered on our previous trip. We all now have a full understanding of the times of the buses which will take us back to Durham.

Weather Check

I will keep checking the weather forecast for Sunday 11th of November so we do not encounter any complications when we go to film again at South Shields. I am very pleased to say the weather is still looking sunny and we are going to use this advantage to it's full potential. We understand that even though it's going to be sunnier than it has been in Durham recentley it will still be very cold as we are near the coast. We will all be taking winter essentials just in case so we are all fully prepared.

Contingency

Due to our first footage day having to be cancelled and moved to this weekend we decided that the best idea was to come up with a back up plan in case we encounter any more problems due to weather or other circumstances. If our whole concept of filming on the beach at South Shields fails we have dedcided that we will just have to film our music video around the fields and woods at Newton Hall, even though this won't fully grasp the idea we wanted to produce for our music video we will be able to produce a similiar feel to the music video which we want to create. There are many features around the woods where we will be able to capture the same shots we have designed for the beach. There are many bridges and secluded areas where we will be able to create the feel of isolation and the female character reminising. If we end up having to use this location which is the same as our second location then we will have to remember to create a significant difference between all shots in the footage days. We will have to be more adventerous to be able to create a different feel to the location so we can create our concept for our music video.  However I don't really feel that we will need to use this back up plan, as our group will try are hardest to make the beach setting work for our music video. Hopefully the sunny weather forecast for Sunday will keep up so we can produce our original idea for our Indie Pop muisc video.

Filming

We in gathered in lesson to talk about our new filming day, we checked the weather forecast for Saturday 10th of November and theres supposed to be know rain. However when checking the weather forecast for South Sheilds we found that Sunday 11th of November had a better weather forecast of bright sunshine. We have now decided to go and film our music video on this date so we can conduct the best possible music video we can, and use the sunny weather to our advantage.

Below is a screen shot for the weather on Sunday 11th of November.

Filming Delay

As you can see from our call sheet for Saturday 3rd of November, we were supposed to be shooting the beach footage for our music video today. We have been checking the weather forecast regulary and we were under the impression that it would not rain. The weather in Durham was perfect, but once we gathered to meet to begin filming it started to unfortunatley rain. We decided that we should prospone the shooting of the footage, as our music video wouldn't have turned out the way we wanted it to, plus we would have had the risk of the rain interfering with the electric video cameras and making health and safety a huge problem when filming on the sand dunes. We have decided that we will now film our music video at the beach next Saturday 10th of November, I will produce another call sheet so our actors can get all the information they need for the new change in filming.
