Filming Plan/ Dairy

Day 1
Location: Cheney School Media Mac room
Close ups
Before the Day: We are going to shoot close ups of each artist doing doing their verses.

On the Day: We wanted to give our Music video a typical music video look so we decided to record with a plain white background, this was achieved with the plain white board on in our schools mac room. We shot with two big lightning equipment which helped to increase the brightness of the video and made it look more professional.


Day 2-
Location: Cheney School Drama Block
Mid Shots
Before the day: We will focus on mid shots because we want the audience to be able to see and therefore compare the costumes used in our music video with other Party Hip-Hop music videos. 

On the day: At first it didn't go well because the Drama class room which we recorded in didn't have a plain wall so when we recorded, the background did not look clean an it was obvious that we had shot the video in a drama room. As a result of this we decided to change the location. We then changed to location to the Mac room, and we decided to use the white black projector screen as it had a white background. This was a great idea and it worked perfectly.

Day 3 
Location: Cheney School Dance studio
Mise en scene
Before  the day:We will be focusing on mise en scene, for example we are going to have shiny ribbons floating down on the main artist, as this will help to create a happy, celebration atmosphere which will help us to portray the Club/Party theme in the Hip-Hop genre we have chosen. 

On the Day: We shot fireworks exploding in the sky  at night, this will help us to portray the celebratory theme in our music video. We choose to record at night because that is when the fireworks are a lot more visible. Recording at night was quite hard because some of the videos which we recorded was too dark because we didn't really have a big touch and the lamps that we had were too big for us to carry outside and it also needed to be plugged in for it to work so we couldn't really use them. We had to shoot a few times until we got the best result.
   
 Day 4
Location: A Hall in St Clements Oxford
Party
Before the day: we are going to film some parts of the music video in my friend's birthday party which will take place in a hall with lights similar to that in a club. This is because just club-music nowadays, our music video will be set in a Club. 

On the day: We informed everyone that we were going to shoot a video for our Music video and we told them to let us know if they did not want to be involved. Fortunately, everyone  wanted to get involved so it was a lot easier for us to record. This was a success because the location had a lot of lights, which makes the hall look like a club.


Day 5
Location: Cheney Mac room
Close up on Props
Before the day: we will be focusing on shooting little props but very significant to the genre we have chosen, we will be focusing on props such as necklace, watches, rings and Expensive trainers.

On the Day: we placed the trainers on a white background and shot some video clips of it. The outside light was against us so the quality of the video we shot was not very good because some part of it was too bright. However, after shooting a few clips, some was quite good and we decided to keep the best one and crop the bits that was too bright out.
After shooting the trainers we then decided to shoot the jewelries and watches but it didn't go as plan because, the video didn't look right.It did not look right probably because of the white background behind it, we didn't get enough time to change the background colour so next time we shot we will make sure we do this.
