I attempted to film for my music video on sunday, however when i went to film it started to rain which would have been a massive continuity error and therefore i was unable to do it. This taught me not to leave any filming to the last minute as it may be affected by things that are beyond my control.

However i did manage to take more photo's to use for my digipak, they are not the exact photo's that i wanted as someone had parked a car on the street i was taking my photo on and therefore i could only use the other side of the street.

I am planning on filming again this sunday, the footage i am planning on getting is the film of my actor walking down the street lip syncing. However i am going to have to film this several times to look effective and to ensure i have smooth camera movements. I am also going to take more photo's using a digital camera to get high quality pictures i can use on my digipak.

I have started to put together the footage of my actor walking to the music, however i will not be able to do a large amount of editing until i have the majority of the footage and can better understand how it's going to fit together to the lyrics, this is because i am using lip syncing later on and this must be fitted exactly to the music in order for it to look effective.

These are the photos i took however, i was forced to take them using the video camera as my camera had run out of battery. Because of this the quality of the pictures is terrible and therefore i need to retake these pictures.

I filmed the footage that is supposed to be from the eagles eye view, and looks more effective than i expected it to. I also took photo's using my actor which i plan to use on the digipak, however i have not yet managed to get these photo's off of my memory card and onto my mac, i will be doing this as soon as possible.

I plan to start filming this weekend on the 4th, i wish to at least film the footage from "the eagles view" i am filming this by itself as it will take a large amount of organizing and time to film due to the distance between the camera and the actor meaning communication will have to be done via phone and will presumably take several attempts to get right. I am also going to take pictures which i plan to use on the cover of my digipak, however i am not sure whether i will be able to get the framing right on the pictures to enable them to look effective. So i may have to go back and take pictures at another time of day when the light is different.
