29th Dec - First Shooting, Disaster

Today was the first time we went out to get footage for our music video. We got everybody together at the church by the prearranged time and had all of our instruments in cars outside waiting to be brought into the church. However, the vicar who was supposed to have let us in didn't show up. After waiting for an hour outside whilst trying to contact him we lost hope of him coming.

This unforeseeable event has set us back in terms of timings and we will have to act fast in order to get the footage we need in time.

Storyboarding part 2

This is our finished storyboard. The video represents our plan for what the music video should look like overall and we have included a number of shots that we think would look good when it comes to filming. Throughout this storyboard we have included narrative elements, at the moment we don't know for sure whether or not we are going to use these or if we are going to go full narrative for the final piece. We ended the video with the singer blowing out a candle as it seemed to create a fitting conclusion to the song and the setting.

No Alfies were harmed in the making of this video

St Michael's and all Angels Church

We visited St Michael's and all Angels church yesterday and got permission to use any part of it for our video. In this post I will put many photos that we took and define how we would use the space if we choose to use this location.

We originally were going to use the main altar area for the setting of the video but when we got there we saw that the are was almost filled with bolted down pews for the choir. This meant that it would be very difficult to fit in the whole band in a way that looks good.

After that, we found another possible filming location. This room also has a stained-glass window in the background and is a much more open area (when the chairs are taken out). There is also another stained-glass window on the right side of the room that will look good in side shots. Another thing about this room is that just outside, there is a drum set and a keyboard that the church has also allowed us to use.
