Today i filmed the sunset from my bedroom window, this seems to of turned out quite nicely and we plan to use it in our video. We are going to reverse the sunset so that it look like as much of a sunrise as possible.

This is an idea for this part of our song.

On Monday Emily and Eleanor went to the second of our possible filming locations, and here they took photos and videos on their phones of where we would be filming each seperate shot.

From this we were able to draft a storyboard with the photos and screen shots of videos.

Here is our second draft of our digital Storyboard. We have added in many more shots as out ideas have developed we have included shots of shadows on the ground of the sadder times in her life.

We have practised our StoryBoarding techniques by storyboarding Paloma Faiths New York 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki0xBb2wbr4&ob=av2n'.

For each shot as well as draw it we had to write the location of it, the shot type and the movement of the camera, what the actor/actress is doing on screen and the lyrics or audio that is happening at that time. This has helped us a lot in planning our own music video. And the vas amount of shots we are going to need for such a short amount of time.

Here is our first draft of our digital Storyboard. To hep us gain a more overall view of how our music video will fit we went on to the locations to take photos of where we would actually shoot the film. It has also helped us think about how we are going to achieve the shots we hope for.

This is a picture of what our StoryBoard looks like and how we will plan for every single shot. This will help when we are filming aswell as editing. This is what we failed to do last year and as a result had a lack of detail causing us to have to re-film quite a few times, here are some mistakes we made last year causing us to have to rethink;

1. Continuity errors
2. Break with the 180 degree rule
3. Not getting all the shots we wanted
4. Change in lighting (where we had to re film on different days due to missing shots)
5. Re filming numerous times which left less time for post production & editing
6. Disorganised filming, not bringing tripod when required.

This year we are working to not have to re-film and have these mistakes again. So we are putting a lot of effort and work into our storyboarding.
