Problems we have faced so far and how we have overcome these challenges


These are the problems we have faced during our time filming . However, we have effectively overcome these issues through primarily planning and keeping good communication.

Test shots


We have taken some test shots as we found many problems while filming E.g. the lighting. Next time we film our real footage we are going to make sure that we improve our footage.

Twitter update!





I have been uploading regularly on our twitter page in order to interact as much as possible with our followers and gain a larger audience by constantly publicizing our music video. We believe it is really important that we live stream as a group while we have been filming to show back stage footage and is a great way to interact with fan inexpensively and effectively. We also aim to create a 'buzz' by posting teaser pictures and video as well as telling our views our plans and to look out for future exciting posts. keeping in mind our target audience may be at school or work we have been uploading after school and most work hours consciously to target these viewers. we have given links to our website so they can also go check it out!

Planning schedule - Filming day two


Shooting plan – day 2 
Due to the changes that were made we also had to change our filming schedule.

This make up look is one of several during our video. In this part we went for a very natural make up look in order to make our story realistic and fit how she would be feeling as after a break up as she may not feel she wants to bother anymore with her appearance because of the deep sadness she feels losing someone she loves. We also took some shots while filming of her looking a photos of the her and her ex boyfriend looking sad just before she is about to set fire to it and chuck his things out of her house.

Photo gallery - filming day 2 (showing our first make up look and outfit)



We aimed to make a dramatic make up look to ensure our actor fitted the role she was playing of performer which typically hair and make up is done before going onto a stage; this ensured that we make it appear realistic. I did this by using a deep orange eye shadow with glitter over the top as well as a glittery lip. Her costume was an important way to ensure that our performer was portrayed as a professional dancer. We did this by using ballet shoes and a dress which fits stereotypes of what would be worn during a performance. Over all, this allowed us to enable for our audience to be able to relate to all the people in our music video which we feel is extremely important to gain a mass audience and popularity.

What Magazine We Would Put Our Advert In and Why

Filming equipment




This is the filming equipment that we plan to use to film our music video. We learned from last year  that due to the development of technology/phones, using a camera was unnecessary and caused more inconvenience for us as a group during the process of uploading and editing than necessary, especially when we found the quality quite similar. However, we found using a tripod helped a lot to keep out footage from being shaky losing appearing realistic to our audience so we will use the camera we found easiest to get transfer footage from in the shots that we need to use a tripod as we already have this.

We can then use this to connect with our audience by using these subject matters which effect masses of people. Im going to feed my ideas back to our group and see what they think...
