29/4/14
Today was the first day of filming. Me, Rose and Dale met up with our actors and went to our first location, I thought filming went well on the first location and we got some good footage, after we had finished with our first location we then went to our second to resume filming, we met with our extras and got their shots first so we weren't holding them up, I thought filming on our second location also went extremely well and I was pleased with the outcome. After we had finished that was a wrap on our first day of filming.
30/4/14
Today I captured the footage from the day before and decided to look through the footage to decide whether we needed to film any backup shots that we had scheduled for Friday. I decided that i was happy with the footage we got so I called off the shoot on Friday.
7/5/14
Today was the second and last day of filming, Me, Rose, Dale and Jordan met up with our actress and make-up artist, we then set up whilst Fran got her make-up done. After that was done we then started to film, we filmed the song all the way through a few times from different angles, i decided to film using the green screen so i could put a background on later on in the edit. I was very happy with the results of filming.
