Filming Day 1

Yesterday the first third of the music video was created. This went very successfully as I achieved the results I wanted. The filming went well and I got some really good shots of Sara's bedroom and the idea of "isolation" was conveyed well because her room was quite dark. A successful shot that conveyed this was the mid shot of Sara looking through her closed blinds. As Sara cowers away from the bright sunlight, it clearly shows that she is in a state that leaves her with no imagination.

The weather was perfect on that day. There were slight intervals of sunniness, and I got some decent garden shots. As the sun shines, it shows that the singer is slowly getting more inspiration.

The second date of filming will be in the woods, which leads on from Sara entering the her garden shed and entering a mystical and mysterious world, where the "tinsel journey" continues.

The third filming date will be on bonfire night so we can get some firework shots into the music video. This is where the music video will end and it works perfectly as the lyrics are "I need a spark to ignite my pilot light." This is a play on words and directly correlates back to the music video.

There are things that I need to make sure of when I film these parts... continuity:

• Sara's hair, clothes and make-up need to be exactly the same. This includes the bedroom slippers she is wearing when she leaves her house.
• The tinsel needs to be bought also, so the trail can be continued.
