Filming Update

Ruby taking a picture of Jack for our digipack

Today we filmed our version of Ben Howard's 'Keep Your Head Up' video. We left school at 11am and went straight to the two locations to take pictures and plan which shots we were going to film in which order and where. We filmed all through the day up until 9pm when it started to become dark. As most of our shots needed to be filmed whilst the sun set was happening, we made sure we filmed all the other shots before so we were able to spend an hour getting the sun set shots right. To help us with the angles and timings of the shots we not only took the shot timings sheet but we also downloaded the original video onto a laptop which we carried around with us and continuously played to make sure every shot looked as close as possible to the original. During the day, Ruby and I swapped roles and took it in turns to film and direct the shots whilst Jack played the role of Ben Howard. We also began to take pictures for our digipack as we felt that a forest would be a good theme for an indie album cover.
