Cara, Catherine and I did some filming on Saturday, and although Peter (the male actor we had planned to use for our music video) was sick, we managed to find a replacement (Steven) and luckily we were able to continue with filming. Also, after editing the clips today in school, we realised that the song we had chosen was not perfect for what we were planning to do. Upon playing the clips with Seasons Reverse and then Collide by Howie Day, we unanimously agreed to switch songs but keep the same theme.
This is the first scene we filmed. Emma, our actress was brilliant and very co-operative and we did a few takes of this shot to make sure that the lighting was good and to make sure our props were doing their job (we had some minor problems with using our phones as props)
Cara and I trying to sort out props (we eventually had to film using a second phone as the first one was not suitable).
Catherine double checking the clips as the lighting had changed between shots and we had to re-take.
Cara explaining to our two actors what to do.
We tried a range of shots for this room as we found it hard to fit in Emma and Steven in the same shot because Emma was standing up and Steven was sitting down.
Catherine explaining how to act out the fight.
We had Emma slap Steven across the face... but it didn't turn out as planned!
We were careful to ensure that the continuity was perfect, as any slight movement in Emma's scarf would've been noticeable in the final product.
After filming the door slam a few times we finally took the descision to have one of us standing behind the door to make sure it slammed properly for dramatic effect.

This was Emma's outfit for filming:
And we made sure that Emma and Steven wore different sets of clothes for the photographs we needed to take to use as props.
We will be using these photos or similar photos to these later on in filming to symbolise memories between the couple.
