Chapter 18 - Filming & It's Complications

After spending two weeks on filming my music video I have now completely finished filming and will begin editing next week. Whilst filming I came across several problems that meant that either changes had to be made to the story board or the settings for certain scenes had to changed. Most of the problems I had were with the mise en scene; outdoor scenes had to be filmed quickly and at the right time as we are coming up up to christmas and day light was minimum.
One of the scenes that was meant to be recorded in the lower light was difficult to film as the camera struggled to make out the three actresses walking towards it and so that shot had to be changed to be a scene walking down the main street.
My main issue was the time of year that I was aiming for. When looking at the story board we find that there are lots of shots that include the sun and so we struggled to get shots with the sun (especially when weather had been extremely bad). The outcome for this was to change the time of year from summer to winter.

you need to use media terms as appropriate in your entries eg 'mise en scene' and 'continuity'
