Yesterday I had trouble with starting to film as me and Ellie had many problems. As I really wanted to make a start on filming, I aimed to start early on filming and we got to the park at 12:30pm after I met her at her house to see how she would look like in my video and I was pleased with the look. When we got to the park, it was quite busy as it was a Saturday so we waited around for people to go as they were on the swings and around the area. When we got to the swings, I set up my tripod and camera and asked Ellie to put the song on using YouTube as I could not put the song on my phone. However, Ellie could not get any signal so could not get the song playing. We decided to pack up and go back to Ellie's house to try and put the song on her phone. It was good that her house was near the park so it was easier and quicker to travel back and forth to the park from her house. We quickly put the song onto her phone using iTunes however we had many dificulties and problems with putting it onto the phone as the song was not syncing into her phone. After many attempts, we finally put the song on the phone and we hurried back to the park to try and make a start on the filmning as it was getting quite late. When we got to the park, we found some people on the swings again so we had to wait till they went but by that time it was getting late so we had to call it a day and agreed to film another time.
After this hectic day, we were tired and gutted that we did not get any filming done but at least we tried to start. However, I have learnt about different problems in filming in a park as it is an access to the public and would be busy. Also we had a feel of what it is like to try and film on a Saturday and I have decided not to film on a Saturday as it is too busy. However we had some benefits after this day and that was that we got the song playing and can now move forwards in starting to film. Also now that we know how difficult it is, me and Ellie would try and get some filming done so when we have made a start, it would become much easier in further filming process as we would get the idea and would get the filming done quicker.
As I have not made a start, I am planning to film in the week after school on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday to try and get some filming done. The filming sessions would only be 1 hour or 1 hour 30 mins long as I am worried that it would get really dark early. I did not just want to leave filming to the weekend as I wanted Ellie to get the jist of the filming process and I also want her to have fun and enjoy the filming, making her more interested and willing to help more with the filming. However, the one thing that I am worried about is how busy the park would get in the week as it is near a school and if the children would come to the park after school. If this is the case, I would still go ahead with the filming as it might add and emphasize the filming of portraying that care free personality and also enhance the image of the little girl in the song. The filming could be cancelled depending on the weather but hopefully filming should be successful this time.
