Production Log - Reflecting on the first Hyde Park shoot



Yesterday I went to the Rose Garden in Hyde Park to start filming my music video.

We arrived at the park and luckily the sun was shining, therefore I decided that my main aim for the day would be to get lots of different shots with Monique (the actress) walking through the archway in the Rose Garden and coming across a letter that has been left by her lover.
Luckily, I go some good footage to edit and work with. I wanted to get as much footage as possible first as it would make it easier when editing my video together because I would have a choice of many different shots.
When we were leaving the park, I noticed the bandstand was just outside of the Rose Garden but unfortunately due to the weather conditions, I was unable to film anything using the bandstand. I am hoping to go back and film a scene with the couple dancing inside the bandstand which will be one of the flashbacks. The bandstand itself would also be used as one of the props as seeing it again is how the flashback will be triggered.

Production Log - First shoot in Hyde Park

Today I started the filming for my music video. Today's shoot was in Hyde Park where I got footage of Monique walking through the archway and the letter scene.

Production Log - Makeup-tutorial for the Hyde Park shoot

As my first video shoot is fast approaching, I have been researching makeup tutorials to show to Monique in order to ensure that we can achieve the perfect ethereal look. The makeup is extremely important as it adds to the entire image of the artist. For example, dark eyeshadow with bright red lipstick would be inappropriate for the Hyde Park shoot as Monique is meant to look pretty and whimsical, and almost fairy-like, therefore it is essential that her makeup reflects this.
