First Shoots

The first time we chose to film was the Thursday afternoon. We focused on filming some of the portrait shots on our main camera as well as the iPhone app Fyuse. Also, we filmed some close up shots of Julia on the train as the single character which will most likely be a part of the opening section of the video. We had a few initial problems with equipment with SD cards being full and not working in the camera. Luckily we had two cameras so could alternate between the two when necessary. Our second time filming was more efficient as we all had a much clearer idea of what we wanted to film and where. We predominantly filmed the date scenarios and couple on the tube. 

Initial Shooting Schedule

Our music video relies on lots of changing locations, light levels and mise en scene. Therefore we have decided to film in chunks, storyboarding each section as we go along. A lot of our filming will be more circumstantial in that we can't entirely plan who else will be around when filming in public/on transport. Therefore, some of our planning is more of an outline as opposed to exact shot composition and precise location. We will be filming around the Shoreditch area and then on various forms of transport. 

In the next couple of shoots I will use Microsoft Excel to be more organised and have quick access to the schedule on my phone. 

Track List and Artist Name

After looking into similar artists largely under the genre of neo soul, we found that almost all artists go by their real name (forename & surname). Therefore we decided upon the name Alexandra King and then began to think of track names. As well as keeping the original song Teenage Fantasy, we used a mixture of names generated by the games we played in class as well as titles in keeping with the focus on youth. 

Yoni Lappin

Yoni Lappin has directed a number of music videos under the same or similar genre. We hope to partially recreate some of the same shot composition and colour palette in our own video.
