Photos part one
Today we planned to take some photos of the band for the digipak and the website to promote them as an up and coming band. Sadly Luke was ill so we only managed to take a few shots of Alex, Abdul and Ryan individually and on Thursday we plan to take the same of Luke and then some of the band all together. The photos taken today were successful and we tried various angles to see what worked best.

We took out the camera this afternoon to get another shot of a couple to use in our video. We took out our friends Ibby and Shamaila and filmed them on a few locations with a sign we made previously. We deliberately filmed them in the afternoon when the sun would be setting and we would get nice natural lighting and this was successful.

Filming the band
We got our band together and into the drama facility we were using and put up the banner we made and set up all the instruments, microphone, lights etc and started filming according to the storyboard. We got a wide range of footage of each band member and experimented with lights, angles and static filming and some tracking shots around the band as well. The lead singer of the band Alex was really enthusiastic and we feel this definitely added to the realism. We made sure everyone was dressed to match our band image research and this again adds to the realitic band image we want to achieve. With all the different angles and shot idea we came up with we think with it intercutting through the video along with the on location shots we have done through the weeks of couples, the finished product will look really good. Bethany is going to start editing the footage together on the next opportunity. We also took promotional photographs of the band for the website, we decided to shoot a lot of them in black and white because Rene noticed a lot of bands with the same genre of our band do this.

08/11/10
We uploaded all the footage we got in London on Saturday and the fireworks today and Bethany began editing whilst Youssef and Rene continued with research into band image. We have also decided to do the primary footage of the band in a drama facility we have access to in order to get some more interesting lighting shots. We felt a garage may be quite limited in space and we were unsure we'd be able to create the effect we want so we thought it would be beneficial to use a different location.
Lighting strikes twice
Unfortunately because we were not given a charger, our camera had very low battery from filming the day and night before, therefore we thought it would not be benefical to get the band together for nine minutes worth of filming and decided it would be best to do it on Wednesday (10/11/10).
Filming in central London and Fireworks
06/11/10
We all went to central London today to get some shots that we've storyboarded including people on their own and couples together. We went to Trafalgar square and did a shot of a couple standing still hugging for 5 minutes in a crowded area and we plan in editing to speed up this footage to be 6 seconds so the couple remain still whilst all the hustle of people move quickly around them. We got some other shots of couples that we met in London and some of friends that came with us. Bethany also got some footage of fireworks going off in the sky later that evening.

New band
01/11/10
We have decided to bring together another band as we have found the current members to unreliable and may harm our progress. We have asked people in our school who are willing to film this sunday as planned. However we still need to find one forth member to be in the band, if we cannot find another member to be in the band then we will decide to involve Youssef in the final video as another band member. We learnt that we must cast people that are able to make the set date, and to regularly update the cast with any new information and to hear back from them.
