filming in progress.

I have started to film my video.

I have started the filming process for my video such as establishing shots, shots of scenery etc. and will be uploading photos soon. I am shooting these shots for the time being while I sort out all of the props I will be using for the rest of the video and organise my other actors to film with me and so will probably film with them over the christmas holidays during my spare time.

i have now started to film and will begin editing soon on my film and once i am ready to start doing so i shall be uploading photos of my progress along with descriptions of what and why i am doing this.

 the opening shots of the film were filmed here with the equipment shown in these photo's with the help of these two my friends

almost ready to film

Almost ready to start filming process.

Actors.

I have gathered all my actors but may introduce new ones in time depending on the footage i get and if i decide i would rather change them for other scenes. as i have multiple ideas for a few shots in my video and will change accordingly to which i prefer. 

location.

i have my chosen locations and have been given verbal permission to film in these areas however in the locations i will still encounter other people walking through and so this will make my filming a bit more difficult but it is easily dealt with.

Props.

my props will be different items of clothing different colours and items of clothing that will be portrayed in the flashbacks of the video. e.g. Red for anger, green for envy, gold for greed etc. however i also still need to buy the masks and paint I need. I also have a guitar which would be needed for the performance based part of the video.

Equipment.

For my lighting equipment I am using A panel with LED Lights (on the right side of photo) and a camera ring light (on the left) for the lighting of my production. I am using these because i believe they will give a more professional feel and help me acquire the essence i want my video to give off.

Location and Chosen actors

Extreme Long shot of chosen Location

shots from inside location

 I have chosen this location because I wanted my location to be a representation of my character mind and how wild his mind and own emotions can be. and as another metaphor for how lost the character feels within his fame he cannot cope and in his mind he is still isolated from everyone except himself. This shows how unstable his mind can be creating these different versions of this character i wish to put into my video to represent different mistakes he has made over his life by letting these emotions run free.

Main actor 

Shaun Crowley - me

'ex' Melissa Templeman 

I have chosen these actors because i can trust them to do whatever i would ask them, would be free at around the same time as me and i believe they will be very reliable to be there when i need them.

story boarding for music video

I have completed most of my films story board and am almost ready to start making the production itself.

the characters i have shown in this story board are the main idea for my idea of these split personalities this character has created in his mind representing different emotions. i shall show the representations of these characters through different colours shown in things such as items of clothing for example, green for greed, red for anger etc. 

this is the start of the now finished romannce part of the story line which will not be shown in chronicle order but as flashbacks as one of the backing stories behind this character and why he is this 'lost'.

to do the effect of the same character to appear so many times in the frame i will need the use of after effects which i already have a bit of experience using however not to this extent and so i will need to get perfect spacing of the characters a great deal of patience.

this is just part of the flashbacks that i will be using in my video. The flashbacks are going to be used due to the whole basis for my video is the mistakes that this artist has made through his life due to these 'split personalities' that his mind has created.

i have now finished my storyboard and shall start filming soon.

planning of video started. I have starter making the storyboard for my video and noting down any ideas that i think will work well in my video.

i have chosen this song in particular because i am a large fan of the artist and i have many ideas for my video for this chosen song. I believe I can take the meaning of a song to a deeper meaning making different representations using different techniques in with the narrative to my video.
