On the 23rd January 2011 we filmed our music video. I arrived at about 13:00, as I had not received a production schedule prior to this date and so did not know that I was scheduled to help the other group with their lighting, if I were able to do this, so I turned up at the original time that we had agreed. Most of the band for Group therapy, the band before us, were in our band and had gone to lunch by the time I had got to the location of Sawtry Community College.
My first job was to make sure that all of the equipment we had booked out was there and working. At about 14:00ish one of the girls turned up and about 14:15ish the band musicians turned up from their lunch. Then about 14:30ish the other two girls showed up and then they all went to go get changed into their costumes that we all had agreed on. Whilst they got changed we took some photos and got some footage for the behind the scenes and set up the hall and stage for the video. I set up for the first shot that I would be filming, which was the close up shot of the lead singer of the girls. We decided to put a camera on a tripod underneath my camera to film the mid-long shot of the three girls. The band had finished getting changed and returned at about 14:50ish and then Max went through with them what they had to do and what we would be filming and when we would be filming these shots. I checked the shot one more time just to make sure that the shot was in centre and to what Max wanted it as and then the band did a quick rehearsal of miming to a track. Then at about 15:00ish we started to film for real.
We did two takes of the close up and mid-long shots because the lead forgot her words. I was in charge of the close up and Molly was in charge of the mid-close up. Then the next shot was the close up of the girl on the left and then after I filmed a close up of the girl on the right. During this Molly filmed a long shot of the three girls. Then I filmed a close up of the drummer playing. After I did a close up of the keyboard player. Then after a did a panning shot of the drummer and then a panning shot of the keyboard player. After Max filmed a panning shot of the three girls by walking across the stage and then we were finished about 16:20. All the while the behind the scenes was filmed by Connor Thorpe and the lighting for the music video was done by Lloyd Wallis. I packed away 3 out of the 4 cameras and tripods that we had used as they needed the other camera and tripod to film the interviews with the band. Once those interviews were filmed the I packed the camera away and left the tripod out so that Chelsea could take the pictures for the DVD cover and then packed that camera away when she was finished. Then I put the cameras, tripods and lights somewhere where I could pick them up the next day to return to the Media Department. Then we had finished about 17:00ish, which was an hour shorter than we had planned for.
