Filming Part 2

The second part of filming we had to dress up our actor George like an old man and filmed him dancing around the city listening to an ipod with the hit ups song on it. we had him dressed up in a dressing gown, slippers and a bowler hat. to make his hair grey we used lots of toucan powder which we found worked really well and had a good effect. we used alot of tracking which is moving the camera to follow the character.

we had a professional dancer preform and George would come in to the shoot and start trying to dance with him. Our aim for the video was to make it fun and creative.

we used three cameras again because we wanted a wide range of shots and we wanted to create a macth-on-action with some of it to make it more exciting.

I took us about 3-4 hours to film, the problem we faced was that we didn't have a lot of sunlight left and as its winter its gets dark pretty quick. another problem we faced was that because a lot of our filming was outside it was hard to tell what the weather was going to do. the rain did delayed us a bit.

there were some bits that we found hard when it came to this part of filming because we found it hard to keep the camera from not shaking while we was filming, we would of used the tripod but we didn't have the piece that connects the camera to it so we had to hand held all of the
shots, but the shot did turn out ok.

Our originally ideas for this part of filming was to get a large amount of people, dress them up as old people as well, to do this we set up an event of the social networking website (face book) and invited everyone we new to come, we thought this was a good way to promote and make our video better.

In pink we highlighted the guest list (attending, not attending, and confirmed guest) we found that hardly anyone decided to go out of over 200 people.

because no-one turned up we decided to change our concept a bit instead of having everyone dressed up as old people we choose to have just the protagonist dressed up as a old person and his lady friend.
