Filming went really well, John and Harry acted naturally in front of the camera and I was able to get many shots from lots of different angles. I was worried because we were filming outside and it was starting to rain but it held off so I didn't have to reschedule. First I filmed the shots of Harry and John playing football together, tackling each other and a penalty shoot out. Then I filmed the shots of Harry on his own sitting and playing with the football and leaning against the tree.

Filming went really well on Saturday, I filmed late morning and the light was good which improved the quality of the footage. I wasn't under any time constraint so I was able to experiment with my shots and angles. First I filmed the shots of Ruth, Chris and Freddie together playing on the park and woods around it. I many used my handheld camera so I could get lots of close shots of what was happening and move around quickly to vary my angles. When I filmed Ruth on her own I focused a lot more on getting some arty shots and the effect of the shots an angle. I tried to capture lots of empty space in the shots to try an introduc e the idea of loneliness and an a bsence of her family.

I've chosen to use Powerless by Rudimental as the song for my music video. This has been one of my potential choices from when I first changed my idea. I wasn't really sure whether it would fit or not but after I put it with my footage to see how they went together, I thought they fitted really well. I've divided the song into sections of the choruses and verses so that I can match my footage accordingly. The music video to this already contains a strong narrative as do many of Rudimental's videos.

      As Rudimental tend to stylise their logo for the album. I started with the black and white original generic logo and then edited it in Photoshop. I chose the green colour because I feel it shows growth and life; with the album being about family and the tittle of the album is home. I decided to go with the black inside because it makes the writing clear and stand out against the green. This logo will connect the poster and album together because it's personalised to the album. 

18th February - Park with Ruth, Freddie and Chris. 25th February - Garden with John and Harry. 28th February - Boxing Ring with Lane and Hannah.

This is Ruth, Freddie and Chris. I asked these to film because I wanted it to look like a young family and I was positive they would be willing to help out. I am hoping that their connection to each other will come through on camera. This is John and Harry they are brothers and have kindly agreed to be in the music video. As with the family I want there connection as brothers to come through in the footage. There's is a big age gap in there and I would like the influence of the older brother to be obvious when I film, so he comes across as a role model. Josie acted as Becky Hill the featured singer on the song. The setting was a recording studio were Josie lip synced the song, with the recording microphone and stand I managed to get as a prop.

This is where I intend to film the scenes of Ruth, Chris and Freddie in the park. The sort of shots I plan to film are ones of them with Freddie playing on the slide and swings and then some shots of Ruth on her own showing that Freddie and Chris are missing from her life.

The song I have chosen is by Rudimental off their album home released in 2013. Rudimental are a British drum and bass band. The album features artists like John Newman, Emeli Sande and Becky Hill. The album has a mix of a chilled RnB vibe and drum and bass. This is the album cover for home and there latest album 'we the generation' released in 2015. The album covers are of a similar style they don't use a clear photo of the band instead they prefer a more artistic cover. This is good because I don't have to worry about having a photo of an artist but I can be more creative with my album cover.   I've noticed that on all the work they have their logo in the same design and font but altered slightly to make it unique. I would like to try this and then use that on the album cover and poster which will link the to together nicely. The album covers are both very colourful so they stand out. They are different in that the tittle of the album is clear in the...
