Today Lawrence and I was meant to start filming but due to a citizenship lesson during the time that we had media and having no free lessons on this day, we could not film. As well as this Lawrence forgot to book out the camera which was no problem as we couldn't film anyway.

Tuesday 14th December
Annie joined our group today as she was struggleing to work on her own, I have no problem with this as I know that she is a hard worker and will make sure that she catches up and helps.
Today during media we started to film our music video at last! It may have taken two hours but we got every shot filmed for our first section of our music video. The only problem we had was that we could not film in the senic doc where we wanted to as students were in there doing art work and work experience students were working on the computers. We waited untill we could find Henry Ward to make sure that it would be fine to shoot in the gallery. We were unable to shoot in the part of the gallery that had the best light as the work from the alternitive prize was still up and we are not aloud to take it down as they may get damaged. There is one white section of wall which had a block infront if it with a projector on top - we thought it would be best to shoot here, the only problem being that we would not have been able to get any long shots in. Its a good job that Annie joined our group as Lawrence has no idea how to work a camera, even though he could not film he still had an input as he was in the music video and helped alot, as well as my friend Siobhan.
After we had done a few takes of this shot I had an idea that it would be good to film infrount of three tv screen that were on the wall as we could edit me into them and use these shots through out the music video, Lawrence confermed that this could be possible and we started to film again making sure that we had a veritey of shots so that when it comes to editing we would be certain to have every type of shot that we need, including a long shot.
We finished this within the lesson and I also had time to be apart of Jays music Video.

We have decided that on Friday we would all come in as well as my friend Jess to film the other half of the music video, as it is a teacher training day we are sure that will we have one of the drama rooms to ourself and as we have no lessons we know that we will get all of the shots needed and this will only take a few hours.
