Changing the story board. (Animatic)
When creating my animatic and put all of the images of the scenes together I realised that there wasnt enough, I have drawn out some more images for the story board and put them onto my animatic which I will upload soon.
Characters
Philippa on the left and Stephanie on the right both currently study A2 dance at Wyke college, they also both attend Phoenix dance school in Leeds during the week. Philippa also attends Northern school of contemporary dance. The dance in the video was choreographed by both Steph and Philippa for the song.
Both the dancers are friends of mine so I know that they will commit to the time slots agreed for filming the shots for my music video.
Emily is a friend of mine in college, like Steph and Philippa she also studies dance, In my video Emily will be the main character, miming the words and acting out the scenes. Emilys confidence will help to make this video seem more realistic as unlike some people she doesn't become shy when acting out the video infront of others.
Filming
Tuesday 30th October
Over the half term from college I visited my grandparents in Northumberland, this was a great opportunity for me to take some images and footage for my music video as there is a large beach about 5 minutes away from their house. As it is a small village there were not many people on the beach which was good for me as I wanted it to look empty, although there were a few people walking their dogs I was able to take my shots without them getting in the way.
Friday 23rd November
I started filming over lunch time on friday, the theatre was being used by other students so I had to imporvise with what I had by using the big curtains in the theatre to cut it into two large spaces, this meant that I was able to change the lighting specificly how I wanted it without effecting the other people that wanted to work in the hall. Although there was a lot of noise created by the other students I will be able to cut that out as I only need the footage in this scene and do not need any sound other than the music which will be played over it.

Images taken whilst filming the dance
The dance shoot was done in the college theatre, these images were taken by Emily Straker on my mobile phone whilst I was filming Steph and Philippa during the dance routine, I booked the theatre for one hour during lunch, there were a few problems during filming as other people also wanted to use the theatre, to solve this problem I used the large curtains through the middle of the hall and was then able to adjust the lighting on the side I was filming to how I wanted it to be.

Costume and props
I have used different outfits for each shoot, in the video I do not use any props just the performers and their costumes.
In the first shoot of Stephanie and Philippa dancing, both of the girls are wearing leotards, Stephanies is red and Philippas' is black. Both of the dancers have their hair down and both are wearing no shoes.
The shoot showing emily in the studio singing close to the camera she is wearing hair hair down with a plain white t-shirt, before the shoot I did her hair and make up using different products. I used a 'Bare minerals' powder foundation and created a light smokey effect around her eyes using a benifit 'Big beautiful eyes' eyeshadow. I wanted to keep her make up quite natural and minimalistic but also wanted her to slightly glow with the light reflecting off of her face.
Shooting emily on the beach she will be wrapping up in a coat and scarf, I will be shooting these scenes at night so I think it will look a bit odd if she is in a dress.
Stephs dance solo will be shot just outside of Hull, she will be dancing around trees so she will be wearing a white dress, white is a natural colour and I want her to look natural when dancing in these scenes.
