Diary Entry: 16th October

At the end of school, the sixth filming session took place. This session was filmed by the Tamworth Castle Grounds- Bandstand. This was the perfect location because  when it turned twilight and the tea light candles were lit it gave the location a eerie romantic feel. We got this idea from a lot of movies that we had watched such as A Cinderella Story and thought it would be a brilliant way to include it into the music video as a happy flashback. 

Using candles was a health and safety issue because the bandstand was made out of wood. Therefore we had to be very careful that we did not burn anything, as it would be our responsibility and it would add time considerations to the production.

When the outdoor lighting was perfect the candles were lit, we filmed a range of shots of Harry and Grace dancing. Firstly a 360 degree turn was used as a high angle to show the couple cuddling on the bandstand floor, however when viewing the footage we could see the shadow of the camera equipment and therefore stopped this shot as it may not look good once uploaded on to the software. We did not delete this footage though encase we could edit the shots so it would not look obvious.

Another shots that were taken included the couple sitting down and talking/ kissing to show how in love they were as well as them lying on the floor laughing and cuddling. We did this by using extreme close ups, high angles, still shots, pans and tilts.  

Today's filming went better than we expected as the tea lights were visible and we could still see our actors. The shots that were taken were good because there was a range to choose from and all fitted well together.
