Filming update 3.

Over the last day of filming, we shot the whole performance scene needed. jack however, could not play the drums so Danielle ended up playing. This fits into the gere of Alternative becasue some bands like Paramore and Tonight Alive have one female in the band. I used the stage lights and stage in the hall, along side amps which were not plugged in.
We had some issues when we began, Dan did not know the lyrics, but picked them up quickly, so we could film. There were no speakers to play the music through, sowe played it off my phone, having Danielle pretend to hit the drums until she was in shot of the camera, so everyone could keep in time.

Filming update 2.

When filming today, we shot the scenes showing Alex's relationship with her father. Using fake blood and flour to create a wound to her face, I was able to film Andrew, playing the father, hitting Rebecca, playing Alex.
Filming the argument between Alex and her father was slow to start, as the actors felt like they did not know what they were doing. however, once se started it got easier to film.
I felt like the lighting whist filming Rebecca running down the street was too dark, therefore I filmed her running under street lamps, which made it easier to do.

The Band - Final Casting.

In my music video, I will be creating a performance to show contrast towards the narrative throughout. In the performance scene, I have chosen-

Main Singer- Dan Carter. This is because his appearance suites the voice of the original singer of the track. He also suites the genre of music with both his appearance, interests and his personality.
 
 
Base Guitar- Callum Codd. This is because he plays base guitar in his spare time. He also finds the base line of the song I have chosen, very simple.
 
 
Guitar- James Hunter. This is because he plays guitar regularly and can learn songs quickly and easily, making it easier to film.
 
 
Drums- Danielle Blanch. This is because she plays the drums in his spare time and also shows the trend in the Alternative Rock genre of having a female in the group, like Tonight Alive and Paramore.

The Band 2.

Each actor remains the same, apart from Jack, who is being replaced by Danielle Blanch, who also knows how to play the drums, as he cannot make filming days. Also, the guitarist I am using is James Hunter as he plays guitar regularly.

Filming Update 1.



 
Within the first day of filming we managed to film the first 30 seconds of the narritive, focusing on the singer and Alex's relationship also using product placement of 'Monster' energy drinks. The photos above show Rebecca and Dan on 'set' whilst I was filming. The scenes that I filmed are purely based on the two characters as a couple.
