FILMING

 Yesterday we got our filming done! The picture to the right shows where we decided to film the indoor shots of our artist performing. As he talks about home in the song it could either be read as his actual home or the place he feels at home when he is with the girl. This could act as both. We decorated the walls with picture frames to relate to the lyrics 'pictures still hung up' and the cameras hanging from the ceiling were also put there because of this as they take pictures. The use of The Beatles poster and sign were put on the walls to show not only that he likes them but his audience will too as indie bands and artists get a lot of influence from past musicians, and as a band they are popular within our artists audience whether it be through listening to their music or just wearing clothes with the signature name on. Other little items were put around the chair as they were retro pieces and would fit into that vintage style indie artists give the impression of. The old telephone was in there to represent the relation to calling her and use of phone lyrics in the song. Over all I think the use of props in this location was effective.

WEATHER FORECAST

Realistically we would like some sun for our video as we feel it would look good in the shots we intend to use but the English weather has been very gloomy, foggy and cold over the past week or so. We have our chosen filming dates and now all we can do is hope it doesn't rain or snow on these dates! I have checked the weather forecast and it does look promising however closer to the days we'll be able to get a better idea of what the weather will be like and then we can plan what day to film what as some shots will look better with a little sun and others don't matter as much. Below are two screenshots from the BBC Weather page and there forecast looks promising.

POSSIBLE FILMING LOCATIONS

As we have decided that we will definitely be filming outside, and that it will most likely be in a forest/field location we looked into some possible places that would be acceptable to film in. Both locations below are vast forest and field locations, with one located by my house and the other by Rebecca's. We will need to go and look into the good/bad points of each place further and see which one we will be filming in.
