Diary Entry 2

Today Gina, Rachel and I drew some more pictures on our storyboard. We are now up to the bridge. As Gina wrote in the last diary entry, we have already nearly finished the shooting script, we only have to make sure that the end of the song flows well and then that part of the planning process will finally be finished, HALLELUJAH! Who ever thought that creating a narrative for a song would be such a long and difficult process. Once the shooting script is finished we will be able to finish the storyboard, and then its on to filming.
Oh yeh, that remindes me of another part of the planning process we did today. We drew up a list of people who would be playing each part and the locations that we will be using. Adam and Jamie have very kindly agreed to take part, Adam will be the lead singer where as Jamie has volunteered as the drummer. We've got two other people in mind to play the parts of the guitarist and geek but as they havn't confirmed yet we better not say names. The location is just about sorted as well, for the dark room at the beginning of the video we hope to use one of the rooms in the music block, for the stage at the end of the video we hope to use the school hall. At least for these locations we won't have to travel far, I remember last year's media coursework when although the shooting was mostly in one location, it was not always the easiest place to get to. It was alright if we wanted to shoot straight after school coz Gina's mum was able to take us, but we were usually shooting till late and held her up a bit. This time tho, if we want to shoot straight after school it won't be so much of a problem.
We also talked about drawing up a rota for the filming. It was Gina's brilliant idea, (I know I said Gina and brilliant in the same sentence but it does happen occasionally). Basically, when one person is filming, another will be directing and the other will be either shooting the backstage video or taking backstage pictures. Then the next day, the roles will change and so on. We're doing this so that we all get an equal chance at everything.
Even tho we have done all this work today we've still got a lot more to do, geezze, I know what your thinking, how much more can there be? But trust me, there's a lot more, and that isn't even including the editing yet! But even tho it seems like I'm complaining a lot, I still enjoy it :) Still more diary entries to come about the progress :)
