We continued shooting today from were we left off yesterday. We had to do one last close up shot of Darren's lips and then we went off school premises to shoot some other scenes. When planning our storyboard for the video we discussed about Mise-en-Scene and the importance of it. We tried to thinking of a place with a really good backdrop that we could video in but we couldn't quite pick a location. So this afternoon, when we went off school promises we did so rather spontaneously, not really knowing where we were going to shoot. We planned to not go to far and only wonder around the surrounding areas of the school to see of there were any nice looking places that could be used to video. We did this and we were lucky to walk past a small waterfall with a mini bridge on top . We felt that this was quite a nice location and would be a nice place to take a shot of Darren just singing the words. These are pictures of the location:

At first we weren't too sure of where we were going to shoot it from as if he stood on the bridge we were worried that we wouldn't be able to capture enough of the waterfall. Bradley then had an idea of Darren actually standing in the middle of the waterfall in order to really show and be able to capture the backdrop. There were big rocks in the small waterfall that allowed Darren to do this and so he did. For this session i recorded all the shots and so tried to guide Darren on what rock to stand on in order to get the best shot.

We didn't have enough time to take anymore shots after this so we then made our way back to school. Generally i felt today went well although i do think we could have used our time much more productively. I felt that we wasted a large amount of time from occasionally going off task and also from our lack of preparation and our spontaneous approach to shooting. I think that if we had taken 3 minutes to sit down, discuss and decide what location near to the school we were going to shoot at we would have saved about 15 or 20 minutes. Planning is so important and is something that we need to get to grips with as a group.
