4. Session 1: November 7th (4pm – 7pm)
Location: Boraston Bank
Weather forecast: sunny, cloudy, possibility of showers.
Our first filming session will take place in a field just outside of Burford town. It is
local to us, meaning that if we must, we can re-film here with ease. Boraston Bank
lies on a public footpath, meaning that we have permission to visit the field to film.
Whilst here, we will be filming the section of the video where the main character is
wandering around in a field/wooded area, after running away from home. We feel
that November 7th is an ideal date to film here as the weather is likely to be clouded
and dull. This will help in connoting a depressive, lonely mood within our shots.
5. Organisation
Organisation of actors and props needed for filming session
I have confirmed with Georgia that she is able to film on this date. I have
also asked her to wear suitable clothing for the genre, and have also
confirmed with our friend Josh that we are able to borrow his overnight
bag for filming with. This means that everything both Jamie and I will
need for our first session is sorted out correctly in advance.
6. Risk Assessment
As we will be filming outside, and have noted that the weather forecast may include showers, we are prepared for if
rain does occur. We must be weary that rain could damage our electrical equipment, forcing us to pause filming.
The weather conditions may also affect the condition of the field too. Mud and slippery grass may pose a problem
while filming, making slipping a hazard to us. We must ensure that we are prepared to re-schedule if this is the
case.
9. Session 2: November 13th (5:30pm – 6:30pm)
Location: The Old Vicarage, Farlow (kitchen, hallway, stairway, bathroom)
Weather forecast: irrelevant – filming will be done indoors.
The second filming session will take place inside a property a mile from my house. It is local to us, meaning that if we must, we can re-film here
with ease. The house is owned by Steve, a family friend who has been cast in the music video as the father role.
Whilst here, we will be using the kitchen to film the first part of the narrative. This is the dinner scene. Then, we will be using the stairway and
bathroom to film the section where the main character calls her ex-boyfriend.
10. Organisation
The organisation of the use of this property for filming was made by myself
over the phone. I phoned in advance to ask the homeowner’s permission, and
again to confirm closer to the date. We were only allowed to have around an
hour to film on this date, as the homeowners have busy schedules. However
we feel that because we have planned our shots and shared our directing
ideas with the actors involved, we have sufficient time to get these shots
filmed professionally.
Props we will need for this scene:
• Overnight bag
• Mobile phone (Georgia’s own)
• Food (pasta, £5 Tesco)
• Cutlery (provided by homeowner)
11. Risk Assessment
We will be filming in the kitchen, stairway, bedroom and bathroom. Of these, the places that pose the most
potential dangers are the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom both have sources of running water
from taps, meaning that slipping may be a hazard to our safety and to the safety of electrical equipment. To avoid
this, we will ensure that all taps are turned off whilst we film and that no spills have occurred.
14. Session 3: November 13th (7pm – 8:30pm)
Location: 4 Lanes End, Farlow (bedroom)
Weather forecast: irrelevant – filming will be done indoors.
The third filming session will take place inside my own house. As it is my own property, we are able to refilm here easily. We decided that as my
house is less than a mile from our previous location, and that Georgia will need to be wearing the same outfit, that we can film session 2 and 3 on
the same evening. Whilst here, we will be filming the section of the music video where Georgia packs an overnight bag in order to run away from
home.
15. Organisation
The organisation of the use of this property for filming was made by myself
and Jamie in person.
Props we will need for this scene:
• Overnight bag
• Clothing to pack into bag (my own
clothing)
16. Risk Assessment
As the actress needs to appear rushed and hurried in this scene, it is possible she may trip if something were to go
wrong. Wires from our electrical equipment or dropped clothes may cause a trip hazard. We will have to ensure
that we are wary and cautious of potential dangers on the day.
19. Session 4: November 18th (10am – 11:30am)
Location: Ludlow College (photography dark room)
Weather forecast: irrelevant – filming will be done indoors.
Our fourth filming session will take place in the photography dark room at our college. We are able to film and re-film here as both myself, Jamie
and actress Georgia attend Ludlow College. We were given permission by the college Photography department to use this room for filming.
In this session, we will be filming the performance section of the music video. We feel that the use of a simple, plain environment for the
performance will contrast effectively from the busy narrative storyline. We feel that the interesting colours of lighting in the dark room are effective
and will contrast successfully from our narrative section.
20. Organisation
The organisation of the use of this location for filming was made by myself
and Jamie in person with the department tutors. We also agreed with
Georgia in person the date of the session and it was agreed in advance.
Props we will need for this scene:
• Lighting (in room)
• Dress (provided by myself)
21. Risk Assessment
As we will be using a spotlight within this section rather than full, highkey lighting, much of the room will be in
darkness. This may pose a danger in terms of tripping over when not being able to see very easily. To ensure this
does not occur, we will turn the main lights on every time someone needs to move around to find something in the
room.
24. Session 5: November 19th (9:30am – 11am)
Location: Ludlow College (photography dark room)
Weather forecast: irrelevant – filming will be done indoors.
After having filmed our fourth session in the dark room, we felt that the section needed to be re-done. We found that some of the miming in the
section was not believable, and that the performance given was not ‘powerful’ enough. To ensure we have plenty of good quality footage available for
us to use within the making of our music video, we decided to re-film the section a day later, on November the 19th. We agreed on this date with
Georgia in person and after letting her see the footage we recorded, she agreed that she was able to give a better performance when re-filmed.
27. Session 6: November 21st (12:30pm – 1pm)
Location: Camp Lane, Ludlow
Weather forecast: dry, cloudy
This filming session takes place on Camp Lane in Ludlow. This location is across the road from our college, meaning we are able to film and refilm
easily. The weather forecast for this date says that it will be cloudy yet dry for the majority of the day. This is ideal, as the cloudiness of the location
will help in portraying a dull, unhappy tone.
This section of the music video is where we see the ex-boyfriend, played by Phil, receiving a text message from Georgia. This street is a fairly neutral
location, as we didn’t want to place Phil in an elaborate location. This is because he needs to stand out from a mundane background so that the
audience are focussed and in-touch with his actions.
28. Organisation
The organisation of the use of this location for filming was made by myself
and Jamie in person. We also agreed with Phil over messaging the date of the
session and it was agreed in advance.
Props we will need for this scene:
• Mobile phone (Phil’s own)
29. Risk Assessment
We will be filming this section along a road. Although the road is relatively quiet and unused, we will ensure that
we are aware of our surroundings at all times and that if a car has to pass us, that we are able to pause filming and
stand to the side to let it pass safely.
32. Session 7: November 21st (6:30pm – 8pm)
Location: Burford, Tenbury Wells (streets and pavements)
Weather forecast: dry, cloudy
This filming session takes in Burford, Tenbury Wells. This is where my project partner, Jamie lives. This makes it an ideal area to film in, as it means
he is familiar with the area. The weather forecast for this date says that it will be cloudy yet dry for the majority of the day. Later on, it is expected to
rain. Again in this section, dull weather is ideal in creating a depressive mood.
This section of the music video is where we see Georgia wandering home at night time. We will be filming from 6:30pm to 8pm. Being November, it
will be fairly dark at this point, however we will have street light to ensure our shots are visible and of good quality.
33. Organisation
The organisation of the use of this location for filming was made by myself
and Jamie in person. We also agreed with Georgia over messaging the date of
the session and it was agreed in advance.
Props we will need for this scene:
• Coat (provided by Jamie)
• Overnight bag (provided by Josh)
34. Risk Assessment
We will be filming this section in a town at night time. This means that cars and other road users may not be able to
see us as easily. To try to avoid this, we will be carrying a torch with us. We will also stay away from main roads and
instead, film in quieter housing estates. We will be filming along the street where Jamie lives, so we are aware that
it is a safe place to film.
In the event of rain, we will stop filming and return indoors to ensure our equipment is safe.
