Diary Entry: 11th October

We arrived at our location about 12:00pm and had about four hours to film two scenes. The filming took place at this house shown on the left.

The first scene that was filmed was the singing of the song. Me and Lauren decided that we wanted our main actress Grace to sing the whole song so that when we are editing and there are gaps for no flashbacks or something happening we wanted her to sing, just like a music video would. Therefore she cuddled herself all upset and singing in the corner of the bedroom. We did this shooting four- five times but at different angles and shots so every time we put this scene in, the shots would not look the same. For this shot she wore grey tights and an oversized grey jumper so that the actions and styling would fit together. 


After filming this shot we then filmed the suicide in the bath. This was a difficult idea because it could either go very well or a disaster therefore we also discussed other alternative endings if this one did not go to plan.  For the suicide scene she wore black leggings and a grey vest, this was done so that she could be easily seen in the bath.      

A problem that we encountered whilst filming was the memory space on the video camera. We found that we had hardly any free space for more filming just before the suicide scene, we therefore started to delete the files that were not needed from our filming. This was a time consuming issue however we was glad we did not film as the water bit would have been tricky to keep re-shooting. 

Apart from this todays shooting went well, we got all the shots we needed and hoped when we edit on Monday the footage will look effective and there will be no need to change the ending.


The picture to the left is a high angle shot that I took. We wanted to film the entire suicide therefore felt if we did a high shot we could see the fall into the bath. 

This image to the right is a close up of the singing. Whilst Grace was singing we wanted a variety of shots at different angles and frames so that when it was used at different bits in the music video it would not look the same.
