Third day of filming

On Wednesday, I planned on filming my two main characters (male and female) walking from the skate park to my second location the IQ Business park in Farnborough. I wanted to include this location because it has really impressive architecture and I thought it would look effective in my music promo because it is very well lit. I carefully thought about how this location could work with the narrative of my storyboard, and decided it would probably work best if only the main male and female characters were in this location. This is similar to how I planned my music promo in my storyboard, however I have altered it slightly by making my male character chase after the female character in order to speed up the walking process to the new location. I think this is more effective in my music promo as it makes my female character look more mysterious. As well as this it also makes it more obvious that the male character in my music promo clearly wants to be with the female character, as I have filmed the female walking away and the male chasing after her on his skates. I think this small change to my storyboard should work well within my narrative and hopefully when it comes to editing the story will be easy to understand.
Once I had filmed that, I then focused on my male character as he had not done any singing in the previous days I had filmed. I think filming in the Business park worked well, as there were only the two characters in the location which made the scenes more intimate. When it comes to editing, I may find that I need more singing nearer the beginning of my music promo, but I am happy to reshoot that in my second draft. In reflection, it would have been a good idea to film the two characters together as a couple, as this would add to the story of my music promo. For my second draft I will reshoot and focus more on making the story of my music promo more obvious by filming the couple together, as it is quite limited at the moment.
