Filming - Hemswell Cliff 5

This is our second shoot since the beginning of filming which has had difficulties in certain places, for example, people not being able to make it and a fire at the factory during a filming session.

Steve, Hollie and I were able to make it but Alex had a family matter so she was unable to attend which made us unable to do the band safe shot.

Even though we couldn't do the band safe shot which will be filmed on the platform, we were able to film Hollie's and my individual shots. I arrived first so we went over to the field and filmed a few angles of me with Mollie (the extra) helping out with the music station so I could sing along with it.

We then recieved a phone call from Steve saying that he had arrived at Stef's house, so we told him where we were and he soon arrived with Hollie our drummer.

After we had completed my shots we then decided to get my shots done with Steve so we could get my shots done for that day. Although we got this done i will be reshooting my part as Stef asked me to put a bit more energy into my performance.

After I left, Hollie, Mollie, Steve, and Stef went over to Mollie's house to get her drum kit so that we could transport it over to the market for Hollie's individual shots. It took us about half an hour to dismantle, take the drum kit over to the market, and put it back together correctly.

For Hollie to perform the drum piece, she needed to hear the music to keep in time with it, so they placed an iPod and speakers behind her and asked Mollie to stay near it. We then made sure that Mollie wasn't going to be seen in the shot so we made sure she was positioned behind the drum kit and out of shot.

While shooting Hollie's shots, two problems occured. First of all, part of the bass pedal flew up and hit Hollie in the knee so we paused the camera so she could put it together. Secondly, the wind started to pick up and part of the cymbal blew off as we were filming her and she was playing. We stopped the camera for a moment so we could put the cymbal back together and we could continue the shoot.

When Hollie was finished, we decided between the four of us that Hollie and Mollie should stay with the drum kit while we filmed Steve in a separate location for his part as the guitarist but when we started the camera and then the music, Steve realised that there were two guitars in the track, the lead and the rhythm, so we stopped the camera and we discussed which one he was going to play and he decided on doing the lead guitar, meaning we may need someone else to perform the rhythm guitar.

We decided to allow Steve more time to practice his part so we returned to Mollie and Hollie and started to dismantle the drum kit and take it back over to Mollie's.

One problem we may encounter on a later shooting date is the lack of tape due to the amount we have shot so we have enough choice for our final piece.
