The document is a production diary for a music video for the song "Hey Brother" filmed by Shauna Leacy and her group. They filmed over multiple days in 4 locations - Irlam, Salford Quays, a forest in Irlam, and Cadishead Moss. They had trouble coordinating schedules but filmed various shots of the brother and sister characters in each location from different angles to show their movements and locations. They asked Ryan to play the brother and filmed establishing shots as well as interactions between the characters.

1. Hey Brother Music Video Production Diary –
Shauna Leacy
In my group me Emily and Sarah did the filming of our music video
for the song Hey Brother. We filmed it all over a few different days
in different locations we had trouble being able to all film together
because we couldn’t find days where we were all free and had
time to get to the places we were filming at and back to college.
We asked Ryan to be in the music video. I was in the music video
but I also filmed some shots which didn’t involve me, Emily and
Sarah took turns to film the rest so we all had a chance to use the
camera not all of us could make it when we filmed at different
places because of some of us being busy, Sarah couldn’t make it
when we were filming in town and I couldn’t make it to when they
filmed in the forest/Irlam locks. The rest of the time everyone was
there when we did the filming.
We filmed in 4 locations Manchester/Town, Irlam, Cadishead/
Cadishead Moss and Salford Quays.
The first place we filmed at was at Irlam train station, which we
didn’t have to travel far, to get to it was close to us all. We filmed
Ryan who we asked to be the Brother, walking up the stairs

2. Ryan on his phone which Is when the music starts

3. And him getting on the train/train leaving
We filmed the shots of it pulling in and leaving at the same time we
had to turn the camera around get it so it was positioned right and
film the train leaving the platform we had to make sure we were
quick so we could film all of it at once.

4. The next place we went to was Salford Quays to film me who was
the sister walking around we did the same shot from different
angels of the ‘sister’ walking down some steps we filmed two
different angels one from the back and one from the front and then
another walking away from the camera of the sister putting her
hood up and then a final shot of the sister leaning on the side
looking out to the water
This clip we had to re film because I had to wear a certain coat
which in the first clips we filmed I didn’t have on.

5. We did this shot again a few times to try and get one that looks
realistic and not set up we shot it around 4 times and then chose
the best one once we watched the clips over and we also filmed
another one like this but of the sister walking over a bridge

6. The next place we went to was in Irlam it was a forest and Irlam
locks to film Ryan the brother walking around. The first couple
shots where filmed at the locks where Ryan’s throwing the stone
we filmed this shots a few times from different angels one close up
of Ryan with the stone then of him throwing it and then another
from a different side of him throwing it then of him walking after he
threw it.

7. We filmed this same shot but from different angles so the person
watching wouldn’t get bored of seeing the same shot for a long
time so we broke it up to you could also see more of where he was
and the location we were in
again this wide shot was to show more of where he was
and what he could see from where he was stood.

8. Then we moved location to him walking around the forest
another place he went through as he was making his way
to the meeting point we thought that he had to be in a lot
of different places to get the effect of him walking from a
far it adds to the story of them not seeing each other in
along time.
Again all shot from different angels to show him making
his way to the meeting point.

9. The next place we went to was the café we filmed the
same scene but from different angles the same reason
because we didn’t want the person watching to get bored
of the same shot the way we did it is that it’s the same one
but you can see a closer version.

10. Again over the shoulder so you can see what she is
drawing and then another from outside so you can see
more of where she is

11. The next scenes where on the tram and getting off the
tram this is when you first see the ‘sister’ this is showing
how she stared the ‘journey’
This was hard to film because I had to get ready to get off
the tram whilst Emily filmed me walking completely off for
her to then follow me in time before the tram drove away.

12. Then we went to town to film the main part of the music
video we filmed the brother and the sister we tried to make
the shots same so you could see the similarity in the
brother and the sister.
Two wide shots of them walking away and toward the
camera.

13. Then a few more of them sat having a break
We filmed this one from different angels again so you
wouldn’t get bored of looking at a still shot for too long

14. Then we switch to the sister so you can follow both of
them

15. Also did a scene of the brother walking towards to camera
and then the sister walking away from it to show a
connection with the brother and sister so you understand
the story more

16. The next part we did was a still shot of the brother and
sister stood in the middle of a busy place we filmed each
one a minute long so we could then edit it after, we could
speed up the people around them whilst they stood still in
the middle this was hard to film because we had to make
sure no one came up to us or interrupted the shot this
happened to Ryan a women walked up to him and asked
him why he was stood in the middle of a street we had to
cut short his clip just before she walked up to him luckily
she walked in near the end of the minute we filmed

17. The next few shots where all fillers we had to film these to
brake up the whole video so you could see the locations
they were in also so it didn’t get boring where it was just
them two walking around constantly.

18. These final shots where filmed at Cadishead moss this we
only had one chance to film this because we were using
an abandoned house which is now sold so we could go
back there we filmed all these shots in one day and had
bad weather from it raining we where all here to film this
last bit.
First was the motorway shots of the sister (me) walking
over it we had several attempts at this because of the
wind and the frame being right
Then we filmed the sister walking up to the house

19. The holding her drawing up to the house we did this so
you could understand the connection of her drawing in the
café early in the music video
The we filmed the brother walking up to the house from a
different street
we used the switching from the brother and sister idea
again because it was then finally meeting after a ‘long
time’ it was so it fit our story.

20. The next scenes where of them meeting we filmed this
again from different angels so you could see what was
happening

21. We used a picture of Emily and her brother this was so
you knew if you didn’t already catch on from the song that
they were brother and sister and this was suppose to be a
picture of them younger at that house
This next scene was them walking to the window to look
into the house, then we changed the scene to into of the
house we did a pan around it so you could see most of the
inside

22. This shows a section of the house then it moves to the
window and to then show the brother and sister stood
outside looking in we had to film this shot a few times to
make sure that it was smooth and that Ryan timed it so his
arm went around as the camera stopped at the window it
was hard to hear each other because Sarah and Emily
were in the house so they had to shout ‘When’ from inside
to us outside.

23. We had trouble with this shot we had to brake it up or
change it some how and not being able to re film it we had
to use the footage we already had. I used a shot from
outside the house we shot the same day
Then the two final shots for the music video was the shot
from inside looking out
and the drawings that the sister did early on in the café on
the mantle piece in the house left there one drawing she

24. did when she was living at the house and a new drawing
she recently drew and the photo of them in the middle
We didn’t want to film them inside the house because we
just wanted to cut it there because we didn’t want to drag
out the ending to long.
