Today we filmed the Dream Sequence at QEMS High School at 12.30pm over in the Main Hall/Stage. Thomas, Georgia and Myself arrived at QEMS at 12pm and met Matt Johnson (Lighting) to get everything set up for filming. When we arrived at the Hall we encountered a problem, as we came to QEMS during the holiday it appeared that the cleaners were cleaning the Hall the same time we wanted to film, This became a problem for us as we only had a certain amount of time to film. While we waited for the cleaners to finish in the Hall we thought it would be a good idea to set up the lighting and make sure the timing of the light movement was perfect (when Myself and Matt designed the lighting on the stage Thomas and Georgia weren't present so we had to guess how tall they were and where they would be in order to fit perfectly in the spotlights). Once everything was perfect, we started to film at 12.37pm. We filmed the whole sequence in 38 minutes, capturing different shots multiple times in order to achieve the best look for my video. In the editing process i was able to shorten each clip so that it fits in time with each bar (4 Beats in a Bar) this makes the video look more professional and allows the video to develop certain areas by extending it to two bars long (8 Beats in a Bar).
(Add image/Video of Editing)
When Editing this sequence i added a nice colour filter to make it feel more like a dream by adding a blue colour filter with added Sharpness and contrast. The Scene differs from the beginning because the filters differentiate to try and create a contrasting scene change. The video itself explains the situation the character is in. He wakes up to find a girl standing in the centre of the Hall and he approaches her and asks her 'Can i have this Dance - Will you date me'. The Girl in the scene is the girl of his dreams, Wearing a White dress and shoes. I wanted her to wear white to show how pure she is and how she's part of her dream.
In my next shoot i will be filming the second part of the dream sequence in Tamworth Castle Grounds where the character will slowly fade away at the end which ends the dream where by the character will wake up to find it was all just a dream. For this both characters will have to wear the same costume used in the hall, however the girl will have to also bring a spare change of clothes as at the end of the video the male character will be walking home and bump into a girl in the street, that girl is the one he saw in his dream but we dont know if he goes after her of walks away as it cuts to black at the end. for this shoot i will need my Tripod, DSLR Camera and possibly my GoPro with my Mono-stick.
