Ready to start filming

I believe that I am ready to start filming as I have my official cast, locations and also the mise-en-scene of my music video. I also feel that I have completed all my filming research and is ready to start filming.

Due to my filming schedule, I am going to start my filming this weekend on both days, Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th November. I would only need Ellie as my main character during this filming as I am aiming to film parts of my chorus and for this, I would only need the main character for these shots. This would make it easier for me to film as there are less people and would only need to communicate to one person and direct them on what they need to do in these shots. Having less people is so much easier to film whereas if you had lots of people as from my experience of filming, more people is harder to direct and would make more mistakes than just one person being filmed. I would also need to film shots over and over again, so it would give me more footage to choose from when editing and I would also need to do extra filming. I am glad that Ellie can play my main character in my music video as she is easy to co-operate with, meaning that filming over and over again would not be a problem. I am also really glad that she can play the part is that she knows the song and lyrics really well, meaning that I have saved time as she would not need to practise on learning the lyrics or the lip syncing as she was really good at it the first time she practised it.

However, the weather this week has been quite bad as it has been raining and also quite dark. This means that if this happens on the weekend, I would have to cancel the filming as it would not benefit my music video as my video needs to be light and quite sunny.
