3rd Cut of the Video

Here is the final rough cut of my video, I haven't completely finished it yet because I want to conduct some audience feedback on a few clips that I'm not too sure of.

Here are thoughts that I want to consider
I'm not sure whether I like the initial flashback (2nd shot) and if it suits the set up of the video.
I want to know what people think about:

• the other flashbacks in genereal
• the bath scene
• the different roof clips
• if I have enough clips as I only have around 60 and I've realised that Jessie J's music videos range from 110-320.
• The ending - whether it should end with Crazy Jessie in the box or a happier ending with the flashback Jessie on the bed with the dog.
• Whether I need to include the piano scene

To do this, I might create a questionnaire that I will give out to my friends, family and the people in my class.

Bath Shots and Shots for the Digipak

Today I finally shot the bath shots which I think have worked quite well, however the first attempt where Grace is dry and then falls in and blows out her air isn't very good and I didn't want to get Grace to get ready again so instead I just asked her to do it again whilst she was still wet. In the end I actually prefer this shot, I'm going to put it in slow motion; I also shot her struggling to get out of the bath which I will use a few seconds later and she will finally manage to get out of the water at the word "breathe."
I also managed to take shots for my digipak that I will edit in Photoshop:

Filming

Today I filmed the roof shots, the final shot in the box of the 'Crazy Jessie' and the flashbacks. I am very pleased with them and I am going to start editting them tonight to see what still needs to be filmed; I know that I still need to film the bath shots however we got very cold on the roof and I didn't want Grace to then get wet and be cold.
I was allowed to take a lot of equiptment home with me during half term which was very useful so I should be able to get a lot done.
Below is a video of the crane that took us onto the roof:

This is my cousin who brought the crane round for me

Film Crew at My House!

So, my house is being the location for a TV programme that is going to appear on Channel 4 in the Aumtumn 2012. The show is called "V.I.P" and it is a series comedy sketches; the one that was filmed at my house was about Grand Designs and the sketch was a mockery of Kevin McCloud.
It was really enjoyable to see what happened behind the scenes, meeting the cast and more importantly the crew. I explained to them that I was shooting a music video at my house and they gave me their details if I ever wanted work experience at Elstree Studios!
I enjoyed looking at the equiptment, noticing how long it took to take just one shot and especially the different shots they took whilst they were at my house. I noticed the angels they used and hopefully I can use them for inspiration in my music video.
Below are some pictures that I took whilst they were filming:
