Organising Filming

So for the last bit of filming I needed to get my two actors back,  the quickest and easiest way to tell them about my filming plans was through chat on Facebook.

Here is a screen grab of my latest post to them about filming tomorrow.

Music Video Update #1

iStopMotion

I practiced using iStopMotion to see how fluid I could get the movement of the sheep and to also test the quality of the camera as I will have to use one of the old tape cameras. The result of my trial is above, the quality of this stop motion is quite poor and would not only limit the editing of the video but would not fit in to the rest of the bedroom film sequence. For this reason I will be using my cannon 1100D to take the pictures as it will give a much higher quality picture. However I will still set up the iStopMotion, to use the Onionskin effect which will allow me to adjust the sheep seeing where the object was before so the movement isn't to extreme.

Filming Update

Filming at Aldeburgh went well yesterday. I was able to get most of the shots I wanted despite the weather not being as sunny as I hoped. The only real issue I came across during filming was the arrangement made about filming at the Prezzo's in Aldeburgh. I had previously contacted the restaurant asking if I could film for a couple of minutes, using a table by a window as it would fit in nicely with the idea from the storyboard. Yet on arrival, and after talking to the manager I was unable to film. This was a slight issue, however I had pre-planned a plan B if we weren't able to film in Prezzo. Instead I had my actor and actress on the actual beach with a portion of fish and chips. This concept work equally as well.
