Shooting 1

Shooting my video seemed to go quicker than expected as not all of my places will be re-shot because of my idea. This meant that when I had filmed the first half of my video, it didn't seem to take up too much time. Firstly this worried me I wouldn't have enough footage to fill all of my music so as a result of this I had started to add in extra shots which still have significance but would help fill the time. Even though I panicked about this at the time of me shooting when I returned home I checked my storyboard once again and all the lengths of my shots, and I was on a correct schedule presuming my other shots in the rest of my video go to plan. So, at least I know I have these extra few shots as a back up. 
One problem which put me a few days behind shooting has been the weather, it stays true to its British self being unpredictable and doubtful and I needed a bright day/morning to indicate the main character getting up.

Brand identity in similar products

Using a similar sounding artist to relate my music to is important as I will be able to see how they have successfully identified themselves as artists and how their products have been promoted. I decided to look at Paloma Faith, as she has a similar loose voice that can compare to the voice of Evelyn's. 

Pitching my video

Pitching my video to a class of A level media students happened to be really useful when I needed feedback about my initial idea of my video. They all filled out a short form which they expressed their thoughts on what would work well, and how they think it might be even better. The most frequent compliment I received was that lots of people thought my idea of matching the lyrics to visuals was a good idea. Also they said that my idea of point of view shots was a good,creative idea.
I also got some ideas about adding in some colourisation to make my video more distinguishable and add in a small image motif to again show the video is related to the artist. I took on all these comments and have started to rethink some bits of my video.  

Shooting schedule

I have to plan how and when my filming is going to take place as I do not want to get confused about what parts of my video I will be filming and when. As you can see most of filming will be taking place over one weekend as the first half of my routine section will be filmed in my house so this can be possible at any time with suitable lighting. 

Location shots

Here are some location shots of my music video. This is the start location of my video which is in my house. As you can see there are no lighting problems in any of these photos, as I purposely chose the parts that were most suitable to a daily routine and also brightly lit. The start of my video will be in the morning so the lighting will be similar to shown in the pictures. It is hard to show any others as they will all be different places, and the house is where the most amount of shots will be held. I am going to be filming in regular places and modes of travel such as offices, buses and trains. But I need to be careful that I have permission to do so.
