Filming diary

(I was really ill when filming this)

Unfortunately, I had to change my actor after filming this. I planned 2 more filming days with my new actor and we managed to film it all in these 2 long days. 

second draft

Looking back on my second draft I realised that there is a few shots that I will have to retake. The hug between my actress and actor did not look realistic enough and feel that I need to retake this shot. My actor and actress do not know each other much but think that the more time we spend filming the more comfortable they will feel with each other. Another shot I feel that I need to re-shoot is the part when the can is dropped on the ground, I feel that the shot needs to be slightly longer so the can hits the ground when the song says 'hits'. When re-shooting this scene I will also change the can from a Dr Pepper can to a beer can as I feel it will fit with the song better as the main character in the video is upset and depressed over the loss of the girl and when people are upset (especially over losing someone) they tend to drink. If I could I would have a beer bottle smash but I think this could be really dangerous and cause a lot of mess due to smashed glass being everywhere.

Behind the scenes

When I was out filming I brought my brother along as he is good friends with my actor Sam. This made my actor more relaxed as we do not know each other well and he took some behind the scene pictures showing us both work.
