Scheduling

Planning is going well, which means the next step is to go out and start filming.We have set aside a few days in the half term to get cracking. Similarly to last year we really want to get most, if not all of the filming done very early on, which allows us plenty of time if we need to go out again to get more shots. As we have discussed, editing is going to be a crucial aspect within our music video so by filming early we also leave ourselves a great deal of time to edit. Filming is due to start bright and early on the 28th where we will hopefully be travelling to Alexandra Palace for our 'dawn' shots.

It is very likely that it will rain over the half term, so we had to figure out a way to work around the English weather. When discussing this we all decided that the rain may not be such a problem and that it could actually look quite good within our video. We discussed the use of slow motion with the rain hitting the ground and also how if we were to film outside when the rain is 'falling', it would coincide with our song title, but this may be too cliche. There are some drawbacks to filming in the rain though, apart from the fact we will all be absolutely soaking, Rachel also highlighted the issue with lighting. For us we want the best quality lighting and if we are to film on a drab, rainy day, the natural light may not be quite what we are looking for. It seems that we are just going to have to pray for a lovely, rainy day with amazing lighting. Is that too much to hope for?
