Before the shoot day we firstly made the dress for the female actress to wear. As we wanted her to fit in exactly with the set so she would seem as if she was submerged within it, we needed to use the same fabric that we were using for the set build. We used one of the satin like material for the base of the dress as it was opaque and we didn’t want her to wear anything that didn’t fit with the set. We cut a small part from the fabric then measured it around her body. We then marked how short we wanted it to be. Rosie then sewed the dress so it looked neater giving it a hem and a string around the top to tighten it. We then took some of the mesh like fabric that we were also using for the set and created a wrap to go around her that was long enough to tie into the set so it looked like she was more a part of it.


We then took the remainders of the fabric and cut them into strips length ways so that they would be long enough to hang from the bars at the top of the studio and reach the ground.

I was confident that we were well prepared
as we had got all of the set designing finished by the end of the day before.
However, it was due to rain on the day of filming which worried me as we could
have no control over it and it would eliminate a whole element that we had
prepared, but I was trying to plan what we could do instead of the woods scene,
and if we would shoot that scene on a different day.


Above is a video of our set before we began filming.

The main problem we had on the day of the
shoot was the weather issue. We initially though to overcome this problem, we
would reschedule to shoot the woods scene on another day when the weather
conditions were suitable. However, as the day went on, we realized that the
lighting on the day of the shoot was different to how we initially thought it
would look, the look it began to shape was more of a futuristic and sci-fi. We
then thought that the lighting that we had would clash with the lighting in the
woods and it just wouldn’t go well together, we thought that it would just look
out of place and confuse the direction of the narrative that our shoot was
taking. We also thought that we had loads to work with and the set that we
created allowed us to explore with so many more shot compositions than we
planned. By having the whole afternoon to use the studio which we did not plan
to, it gave us so much time to think of new ideas that would fit with the look,
so overall this problem actually turned into a benefitting factor for out music
video as it changed our idea for the better and made it stronger. By the end of
the day we realized we had enough footage to make a good music video combining
our original element idea with new ideas that us as a team created, therefore
we cancelled the rescheduled shoot for the woods as we thought it would be
unnecessary.



As we had two actors, it wasn’t hard to
keep them managed. We asked them and reminded them several times before the
shoot to memorise the lyrics which they did, and they were both prompt to set
when they were needed. As we were all working together on the set, it allowed
us different points to choreograph them as they went to make slight
readjustments if we thought it was necessary.

Below is a video of how the track worked and how it moved around the set.
