Today i went into town for band practice and to film for the media video.
i first went to tk max to make sure that it was still okay to film from their balcony, they decided that saturday was not a good day for them to let me out on the balcony, they said that if i came back any other day then it would be fine, however i cant get into town any other day except from saturday so i may have to think of another way to do the opening shot. i went round the hay market going in and out of shops asking if i could use they're balconie however it isnt possible unless i get the school to contact the haymarket security people.

i went to band practice and i recorded the guys playing and singing the song i wrote, we did it three times and it sounded different each time they played it as they wanted to edit it alot. after woods at around 2.00 in the afternoon i recrded lex and rorie doing the argument around clock tower.

in al honesty this didnt go too well, lex really couldnt be bothered to do it, and this shows because she stopped and laughed alot through it all, alot of the shots are really bad because she wasnt taking it seriously also she made rorie laugh alot so they both lost concentration. also after arranging for 20 people to in town to be the crowd of people, none of them actually turned up so i had to get a bunch of randomers to be in the video. this didnt really work very well because they didnt really want to be in the video in the first place.

however after around an hour of shooting i got some footage, we then went to the fountain so that i could record the fountain scene, but again lex just said to me that she really couldnt be bothered to do it, and she then went home. so i had to end the day's filming.

After watching the footage back at home i thought to myself that lex isnt going to take it seriously and the song sounded rubbish, i really didnt like what i came home with, so i have decided to change my idea completely. i am now going to do a cover of the acoustice version of cassie by flyleaf. and therefore changing the setting to somewhere closer to home so i can work on it more. and also then i can use different people that will take it as seriously as i do. because i was really annoyed earlier by the fact that they thought it was a joke and that everyone let me down.
