Filming

9:00am Currently setting off in the car to anglesey, all equipment it ready charged and the actor and cameraman have arrived in time ready to shoot.

11:30am Arrived at our locations currently walking to the cove to find a safe place to store our equipment and get the first costume on.

12:00am We are ready to do our first shots of the day in the first costume (black hoodie, white low-tee, jeans and walking boots.)

14:30pm We have just finished all of the shots that we are able to do as the camera battery has died. We still have to shoot a shot of me coming out of the water of the cove in my underwear, and a shot of me refreshing my face with water so we have decided to shoot these on my Samsung s7.

15:00pm The shoot with the Samsung s7 went successfully however looking back at the shot we can see a significant change in the quality of the cameras.

Summary: Today I went up to anglesey to shoot for my video. The shoot went extremely successful, the weather was perfect as there was a dash of sun and strong wind which aloud me to show my narrative that my actor was trying to escape the reality of fame and isolate himself to connect with himself and have time to think. The shots were also falling together very well, meaning that we did not have to do many retakes of shots.
However towards the end of the shoot the camera battery died! This affected the shoot as it meant us using my Mobile to record the last few shots. We could see the difference in camera quality so we are unsure what they will look like when exported on to the computer.

Costume

For my project i have chosen to have a costume like in the music video i am basing my project off.  I feel that this will show a sense of individuality in the video that will go with the narrative of my video very well. This will also appeal to the teenage genre as it is the style of fashion that is popular at the moment.

Location

I have chosen my location to be the coves located around Porthdafarch Road in Anglesey
as they look like they are isolated if you look at them from the right angles and i have visited them before on a camping trip and I feel that they will fit perfectly with what I vision in my head.

This is a picture of the largest of the two coves from a first person view.

This is a close birds eye view of the seccond cove

This is a birds eyes view of the first cove i will visit

This image shows both coves in one shot to show that both coves are very accessible

This image shows a potential field that i could do some recording in.

My Project Brief

For my project I have chosen to do a music video. I have chosen this as i feel that it suits me better than a film trailer.

The song that I have chosen is "I'll Show You" By Justin Bieber. I have chosen this as the music is very calming and relaxing and i feel that it will allow me to make a really good video.

I have already got plans on my location and costume that i will use.

I have decided to target my video at teenagers as i feel like it is easier to connect through teens more in music videos that an older audience as teenagers will watch music channels more that adults will.

I have chosen to work alone on my project and act in my own music video as i am very passionate about drama so feel i will excel in the video.

I am currently looking into getting a friend to be my camera man.
