Reschedule of filming

We had planned to film on Sunday and I had organised to go on leave with Nikky, but on Saturday we all received a message from Christie in our group chat saying that she had gone to hospital and that we would not be able to film on the Sunday. As most of the filming was planned to be done at her house we could not film anything at all. Christie then emailed Mr Andrews informing him of what has happened and he replied saying he would give us an extension. We then went to class today and discussed what has happened and organised what we were going to do and when we were going to film. We have now organised that we are going to film Friday and Saturday and then use Sunday and Monday for editing. We have already filmed down at the junior school so I converted that footage today and we can put that together later this week! We also are taking causal photos for our photo album tomorrow!

Reflection 22/10/13

This lesson we have been planning our filming for tomorrow, Thursday and Sunday. We all had to email our period 3 teachers and ask if we could leave 10-5 mins early so we would be able to go and film at the Junior School tomorrow which we tried to do last week but we cant. This lesson we have also been finalising what we are going to do on Thursday afternoon so we are organised and what we need. Hopefully if we film tomorrow and Thursday we will be feeling a little more organised and less stressed. We worked out that if we get everything filmed on Sunday we will have enough time to edit our our 45 seconds each text week.

Reschedule Wednesday filming

As we had organised we went down to the Junior school to do our filming during Chapel as Mrs Brodar allowed us to, to get down there and discover that it was open day and we are unable to film today. So we are now rescheduling our filming schedule and are going to attempt to film on Wednesday of next week. Hopefully we can miss out on the last 10 minutes of period 3 on Wednesday and then we will have 15 mins into period 4. That will then give us 25 minutes to film which we think is a sufficient amount. Hopefully Mr Andrews will be  able to email our teachers and ask if we can miss the last 10 minutes of class so it will make it easier for us. It messed up our organisation not being able to film today but hopefully we can work around it and still get the younger girls filmed.

Reflection 10/10/13

This week we have been organising our music video in terms of finishing off shot lists, beginning storyboards, making ourselves organised by producing a schedule, organising filming times and many other things. We have decided that we will be filming the prep school students on Thursday if we are able to get some time off chapel as there "play time" is between 11 and 12 everyday. We have emailed the Junior school teacher and she said that it is fine to go down and film the girls and we also emailed Ms Brodar asking if we are allowed to miss the end of chapel but we are still yet have not received a response. We also had to organise when we were going to do our out of school filming. We realised whilst trying to organise this that we have to film on Thursday the 24th which involved me missing chapel. I had to email Mrs Churchill about this and she has confirmed that I can go on leave and miss chapel for this particular occasion. On the Thursday we will try and take most if all the photos for the video and will attempt to do some filming. The second day we are filming out of school is Sunday the 27th of October. On this day we will have to do the rest of our filming so we have given ourselves a whole day to do this. Nikky will take me on leave for this and we will film at Christies house. We began to storyboard today in class and so far I think our group is fairly organised in terms of planning. If the group uses its time wisely when we are filming I think the music video, Pictures of You, will be a great success, a very emotional video and will be one we can look back on for many years to come!
