Today we went out and filmed some more footage for our music video. We went to the same place we went to last time because we had not filmed enough footage, and plus we did not have the actors that we had today. Sam, who used to be in our group last year, returned in the flesh today but not as a man; rather as a woman. We used the blonde wigs we had purchased previously for him to wear in the video, and I did his make up. He wore a black dress and some sandals along with a necklace. Despite this being different from what Michal was wearing (Green Day t-shirt to stay within the pop punk stereotype we're aiming for, red flannel shirt and a beanie hat), it went well because we were trying to make Sam look as silly and as amusing as possible, but still focusing on the mise-en scene also. Today we grasped the concept of a narrative to have; we gathered together a few ideas and created a basic love story between Michal and Sam that we can expand on later. We also had Charlie in the video playing his bass guitar. We made sure that he dressed similarly to Michal, and his hair style was usefully appropriate too. Later on we'll get more guitar shots and come up with more ideas to add into our narrative.
