Lip Syncing

I haven't yet started filming Jacks lip syncing shots but have had an idea of using some of the footage I have filmed to make it seem as if Pippa is lip syncing, at first this proved difficult as she some of the shots where pippa fully opened her mouth weren't close enough for the audience to notice, but I have got footage of pippa sticking her tounge out, the part Pippa will be lip syncing is "toot toot" and "beep beep" I have used two different shots to create the lip syncing and had to change the speed of one of the shots to get her tounge to come out at the right time.

Artistic Shots

On the second day of filming I wanted to include some more artistic shots in the video to make the video look more professional and to add a wider range of shots to the video. For one of these shots I wanted to film Pippa and Penny running down a hill, to do this I found some long grass and used the touch screen on the camera to set the focus point on the grass. Behind the grass I showed Penny and Pippa running so that the audience could clearly see the activity going on in the background but also so that it was less focused on.

Linking the footage to the lyrics

In the actual song there are some lyrics that I have linked into the footage to make the footage revelent to the lyrics, when the lyrics "Sippin' on coke and rum" I included a scene of Penny drinking an alchoholic drink which works well with the song.

Another part of the song includes the lyrics "We got food everywhere asif the party was catered" to make this revelent to having a dog in the music video I filmed a scene where Penny feeds pippa some food which also fits well with the lyrics.

Footage from the second day

Before filming on the second day I rewatched both of videos that I am using as my stylemodels, in one of the shots from TIEKS - Sunshine there was a dog playing with a ball and I thought that I'd add a similar shot while out in New Brighton

For this shot I deicded to film away from New Brighton beach and went to a near by field and to make it revelent to the storyline and theme of the connection between Penny and the dog I showed Penny watching Pippa running with a football.

Second Filming Day

After reviewing the footage of today I am pleased with what has been filmed and currently, I don't think any more filming needs to be done with Penny and Pippa, I had learnt from the mistakes I made on the first filming day and have used them mistakes to produce better quality footage to avoid any refilming. While I was out I also took the opportunity to take some potential digipack covers as for the digipack I'm planning to have it revolving around Penny and Pippa whereas the poster will revolve more around the artist being Jack. After editing I will choose which of the following 4 photos will be best for the album cover.

New Locations

For my second filming day I will be adding in 2 new locations to my film, the first location will be New Brighton Dips, this is a large field where I will be filming Pippa playing football to resemble a fun day out.

I will also be adding in a ending shot on the sand dunes near Leasowe Beach, I will head there towards the end of the day when its still light but the sun is setting to resemble to the audience its the end of the day, I hope to get a shot of Penny and Pippa looking out to the sea.

The First 4 Shots

After looking at my style models my first four shots are inspired by one of my style models which is TIEKS - Sunshine. One of the shots of the dogs in the first 10 seconds of my style models video shows just the tail wagging on the dog.

I was inspired by this Extreme Close Up and thought I could use a similar idea to create almost an 'establishing' shot in the first 2 shots which showcases the two actors close up first and then it moves to a medium close up in the second two shots so the audience can see who the actors are.

 In the first two shots it shows both Penny and Pippas feet using an extreme close up to create an establishing shot for the characters.










In the next two shots we get a medium close up of Penny and Pippa allowing us to see the majority of the actors so the audience are able to follow the story of them throughout, It is almost used as an introduction to the characters.
