PLANNING

2. NOVEMBER 27TH 2012
Our aim:
• To film the „montage‟ shots involving various people
tearing up paper shapes with a solem expression.
This means:
• To find willing participants.
• To make the shapes using newspaper.
• To find various backdrops in the school to use for
filming.

3. NOVEMBER 27TH 2012
Reflection:
• We made many shapes out of newspaper such as a heart, a
cloud, a sunshine, a tear drop ect.
• Students were recruited from the study room and LRC who tore
up the shapes.
• To make this more interesting we sometimes included more than
one person in a shot.
• Key lighting was used whilst we were filming, and we
experimented with this by using it as our only light source in a dark
hallway.
Issues:
• Getting the camera to focus each time.
• Finding willing participants.
• Trying to encourage people not to laugh whilst they were being
filmed (these moments have inspired us to make an additional
“bloopers” video which we will add to as our filming progresses).

4. DECEMBER 4TH 2012
Our aim:
• To film the scenes of the music video which feature
the singer by herself and with the guitarist.
Props needed: Costume(s):
Micophone (for singer) Black trousers/skirt (both)
Guitar White top/shirt (both)
Chair (for guitarist) Dark shoes (both)
Drawing of heart (held by
singer)
The costumes/hairstyles/make-
up need to be easy to recreate
as if we do not complete all
intended filming at the time then
we may need to do so at a later
date and continuity is vital.
Our intentions:
• To film all
singer/guitarist
shots and shots
of the singer with
the drawing.
• To use lighting
effectively.
• To use a variety
of camera shot
types and
angles.

5. DECEMBER 4TH 2012
Reflection:
•We tore up the paper scraps needed to form “TORN” from newspaper to
feature in our music video.
• A decent start was made to our filming for the “performance” shots.
• We filmed the start of the music video where a close up of the singer
zooms out to a mid shot.
• A few of our two-shots of the singer and guitarist were also filmed after
we constructed a stage from gray folding blocks.
• Both the singer and guitarist were in costume and wore minimal make-
up.
• We experimented with various lighting (cool, warm, bright ect.) and
camera movement (panning).
Issues:
• Filming a sufficient amount within the allotted time without having to rush.
• Achieving smooth camera movement.
• We did not finished all the filming that we intended and still have close
ups, mid shots and two-shots to film we well as the “heart” shots and the
creation of “TORN” from newspaper.

6. DECEMBER 11TH 2012
Our aim:
• To complete the scenes of the music video which
feature the singer by herself and with the guitarist.
Props needed: Costume(s):
Micophone (for singer) Black trousers/skirt (both)
Guitar White top/shirt (both)
Chair (for guitarist) Dark shoes (both)

singer/guitarist
shots and shots
of the singer with
the drawing.
• To use lighting
effectively.
• To use a variety
of camera shot
types and
angles.

7. DECEMBER 11TH 2012
Reflection:
•We managed to produce a drawing of a heart to use in our shots of the
singer.
• All the two-shots were completed.
• All the close ups and mid shots of the singer were completed.
• Three of the “heart” shots were filmed.
• Various lighting and camera angles were used, including a low angle
shot.
• The singer and guitarist were both in costume and the singer had slightly
more make-up on which showed up better on the camera, avoiding a
very pale face.
Issues:
• Although we filmed all of the two-shots (meaning the guitar no longer has
to come into school and cause inconvenience), not all of our shots have
been finished.
• We still need to shoot the “heart” shots and well as the spelling of “TORN”.
• We are conscious that we still have yet to film the “couple” scenes and
therefore need to find a willing male to appear in our music video who
we have no yet found.

8. DECEMBER 13TH 2012
Our aim:
• To complete all the shots that involve the drawing
of the heart and the “confetti TORN”.
Props needed: Costume(s):
Micophone (for singer) Black trousers/skirt (both)
Guitar White top/shirt (both)
Chair (for guitarist) Dark shoes (both)
Drawing of heart (held by
singer)

we may need to do so at a later

Our intentions:
• To film all shots
of the singer with
the drawing.
• To film the
section where
the word
“TORN” is
formed from
newspaper.
